“That same day two of Jesus followers were walking to the village of Emmaus. seven miles from Jerusalem. As they walked along they were talking about everything that had happened. As they talked and discussed these things. Jesus himself suddenly came and began walking with them. But God kept them from recognizing him. …. Then […]

The wait makes it better
Odds are you know the story of Adam and Eve. It’s all there in Genesis 1-2, nice and easy to find if you wish to look it up. God makes Adam, decides it isn’t good for him to be alone, gets him to name all the animals, he doesn’t find a companion among them, so God […]
Now is the time
This weekend marks the four year anniversary of me starting to write devotionals. And to celebrate, I’m going to share the first one I ever wrote with you. Enjoy the nostalgia of it. You can’t come close to God and not be changed. The way I would look at it is like radiation heat transfer in Physics. As an […]
Out of your comfort zone
God wants to work through us, but often our comfort zones can get in the way. We refuse to do stuff we don’t have confidence in our ability to do well. We don’t like to do things that are strange, hard, or seem crazy. But, as the oh so true cliché goes, if you want […]
Step away from your chains
(SO I posted this originally about 5 months ago, but these past couple of nights the theme of chains being broken has been impressed upon me in worship several times, so I thought I’d draw it to everyone’s attention again and remind us all that our chains are gone, and our hearts are free because […]

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.

Doubt
I’m going to be honest with you. Every so often I have periods of doubt where I start to wonder if the stuff I write on All4God is having any impact. Is there anybody actually reading it? Is the stuff I’m writing inspired by God or is it my own ideas? Is it worth continuing? […]
I'm not a vampire but…
I spent the summer working at a Christian camp in New York. As I’m from Northern Ireland where we get approximately 17 hours of rain-free sunlight a year I was somewhat lacking in sun tan at the start of the summer. This was especially obvious whenever I was swimming and had my T-shirt off and […]
In the end
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and […]
Come as you are
I’ve mentioned once or twice recently about spending the summer working at a Christian camp in Greenwich, New York. One of the things that happened there was that every Wednesday there would be a communion service to teach the campers what Eucharist was all about, what all the stuff that happens in an Anglican communion […]
