Awestruck
I don’t know what has caused it, whether it is just that I am at home, looking out into the garden more or whether reduced noise, traffic and pollution has had an affect but I am suddenly alert to a greater diversity of wildlife around me, baby foxes frolicking, birds landing to find food, insects… Continue reading Awestruck

Following to be part of something (Matthew 4:18-25)
She was beautiful, smiley and when I started to talk to her I was more attracted still as her winsome personality shone through too. I was smitten. I would willingly have gone anywhere with her. If that meant moving away to live, work and go to church some place else then I would happily have… Continue reading Following to be part of something (Matthew 4:18-25)

“Come away from her my people, do not take part in her sins?” (Revelation 18:4). This verse is a call to God’s people to be separate from “Babylon” the code name representing this World’s opposition to God and his people.

The Enemy of God’s People (Revelation 17-18)
If the world at times seems cruel, unjust and ungodly, it’s not a new phenomenon. If Governments seem to legislate against God’s Law and the markets encourage greed and selfishness then there is nothing new under The Sun. If our culture encourages sexual immorality, the objectivization of women and the sexualisation of youngsters then its… Continue reading The Enemy of God’s People (Revelation 17-18)
Could Jesus have sinned?
In Hebrews, we are told that Jesus was tempted in every way, but without sin.[1] This raises the question, “Was it actually possible for Jesus to sin?” If we say “Yes Jesus could have sinned” then that seems to help show the reality of the temptation. However, it raises questions about what would then have… Continue reading Could Jesus have sinned?
Plagues (Revelation 15-16)
The crowd are singing noisily “Going up, going up, going up.” Then against the break of play, the opposition striker gets through, one on one against the keeper, he calmly slots the ball into the bottom left corner.” Silence falls on the ground. Then the away fans begin to chant “You’re not singing anymore” and… Continue reading Plagues (Revelation 15-16)
