Why we do what we do: Seek and Save
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19v10 We are called to be transformed day by day into the image of Christ. And being transformed into the image of Christ means doing what Jesus did while he was on earth. He summarised his mission on earth as seeking and […]
Why we do what we do: Ambassadors for Christ
“Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us” 2 Corinthians 5:20 This should be the central reason to everything we do. We are Christ’s ambassadors. God is using us to represent Jesus to the world. We are how the world will see his love. We are how the world […]
No risks in Judea

Doing Lent Right
This week sees the start of lent (on Wednesday, after Pancake feast Tuesday) and so often in Christian circles Lent is seen at a second attempt at our new year’s Resolutions. Diet not going well? Never fear, just give up sweets for Lent. Not being as productive as you like? Time to say goodbye to […]
Platform
I write devotional blog posts. And sometimes people read them. And sometimes the people reading them are people I know. And sometimes they tell me how they appreciated it. How it spoke to them. How they found my writing funny. How it encouraged them. And sometimes people I don’t even know read it and say […]
Recommended site: Labour Behind the Label
I wrote a few weeks ago about how I wanted to do more posts on practical things we could do to live out our faith. At my church youth fellowship we have been looking at Tearfund’s Just People course, and as a result of that one of the girls shared a link to this site […]
