Do you have an anchor?
I hope that the immediate answer is that “yes, Jesus is my anchor.”. However, I’m thinking of something slightly different here. Most good football teams have a player whose position is “anchor midfield” or sometimes “holding midfield.” Their job is to sit in front of the defence, protecting the back four. They anticipate danger, break… Continue reading Do you have an anchor?
Time to repent
In Jesus day, there wasn’t really any question that sin was a problem, nor that it deserved judgement.. A culture that accepted the reality of sin may seem a long way from our “sinless and shameless” culture today. However, there were questions about the nature of sin and more pertinently who was a sinner. To… Continue reading Time to repent
Facing depression
Every so often I try and point people in the direction of this video series I put together a little while back. I hope it will be useful to you or something you can share with others. Please fee free to get in touch if you would like to talk about anything in them

I wonder if we have such an… Continue reading The “Jesus and non-violent resistance” meme
Cancel Culture?
Latest in my “Are the Shepherds for Sale?” series. I got accused the other day of seeking to censor and cancel someone else because I disagreed with what they had said on one of the related topics.
Men and women in church leadership revisited
I recently picked up on Evangelical Times’ article and podcsst about women teaching and preaching. As I noted, the podcast doesn’t really offer us a Biblical case for the position and assertions taken. However, some people do, in the You Tube comments section attempt to have a discussion about what the Bible says. One claim… Continue reading Men and women in church leadership revisited
Sent to the city Where are you in the story?
What do you think of the church? How do you think we are doing when you think of Christians, whether that’s the church all around the world. What about the local church, our own church here. How do you think you are doing as a Christian? I’ve tended to hear Nehemiah preached as being about… Continue reading Sent to the city Where are you in the story?
