Something that always causes a lot of questions is the issue of backsliding. (Indeed this article is a response to a couple of questions I’ve been asked about it, and so I’ve given it the FAQ title. Over the next few weeks I’ll be doing a few more FAQ articles as part of my ongoing […]

{Only You}
Tired and weary I come to You Desperate for change I look to You Longing for rest I cling to You Eager for answers I turn to You Hungry Exhausted Dried up I know You will restore I know You will sustain I know You will revive So I wait For You
No one can come to the Father except through me
“I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” Jesus in John 14:6. Probably one of the most offensive things Jesus ever said. Lots of people have different ideas of how they can be saved – by being a good person, by helping out those in […]
Doctrinal Jenga
Doctrine isn’t a something that I’ve written about explicitly before on All4God. There will have been elements of Christian doctrine that have seeped through in some of the articles, but in general I’ve kept the focus on life application and living out your faith rather than getting bogged down in deep theological discussions over issues […]
The importance of perseverance
I currently study medicine at Queens University, Belfast. And in order to get onto the course there was I needed 4 A grades in my AS exams (taken the year before you leave secondary school in the UK). But there was a problem, as when the results came out in August 2008 I only got a […]
New Year
So it’s New Year’s Day, the start of a new year and a brand new decade too (anyone know what we should call this decade btw?). Chances are you’ll have been out doing something to celebrate last night. Last year I saw in the new year on the green of one of the holes of […]

It's Christmasssssss!
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’” Matthew 1:23 “So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line […]
Grown Up Christmas List – 2009 Revised edition
It’s now just a few hours til Christmas, and by now you should have all the shopping done, the food ready to cook, everything wrapped and positioned under the tree. And looking outside (at least if you are in the UK, I can’t vouch for weather elsewhere) it may even be looking like the scene […]
Born to die
“But he was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped, and we were healed!” Isaiah 53:5 Not really the most traditional Christmas verse in the Bible, I’ll admit. But Christmas is about more than just the nativity story. Because Jesus was born with one single purpose. […]
