Listen to it and be reminded what Christmas really means. (NB Apologies for the lack of fresh articles his weekend. Things have been busy, it’s […]
Do they know its Christmas?
“When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger.

Gaius and Diotrephes
Chances are you haven’t a clue who Gaius and Diotrephes are. I don’t blame you. They only get a brief mention in John 3, one of the shortest books in the bible. (But if you did happen to know that, then kudos to you. Now go out and get a life…) But they are mentioned in […]
Grace and Mercy Bible Study

Evangelism and Pool
Over the past month I have been playing a bit of pool. And usually losing (but that’s beside the point…). And it has struck me that the game of pool is a bit like evangelism. Confused? Read on! First, for those of you who aren’t familiar with pool, it’s basically one of those sports invented […]
