I saw this article the other day. I suspect many of us will be a little surprised at its claim because surely Romans 13 is exactly about whether or not we should obey the authorities isn’t it? So how can the author claim that it isn’t when Paul says: “ Let every person be subject to the… Continue reading Have we misunderstood Romans 13 -do we really have to obey the authorities?

COVID19 update – will we need plan c?
One of the concerns I’ve raised over the past week or two is that we now seem to be on a trajectory towards even stricter COVID19 restrictions in England and presumably then across the United Kingdom. My concern is two-fold. The first is that such measures might become urgently necessary because I’m not convinced that… Continue reading COVID19 update – will we need plan c?
What will be the consequences of working from home?
One of the measures used in a bid to combat the COVID-19 pandemic has been work from home orders and advice. Where possible, people have been asked to turn part of their home into their office and work from there. It’s worth noting that this has primarily applied to office workers. If you work in… Continue reading What will be the consequences of working from home?

COVID-19 update 10/12/2021
Here’s the latest COVID-19 UK data. Earlier this week, I said that I thought the data might be pointing to a peak in the current Delta spike and so encouragingly we saw a fall in cases yesterday. Cases This is probably good news in the short term because one of my concerns following the recent… Continue reading COVID-19 update 10/12/2021

The title track “Adore” was a new carol by Graham Kendrick. It quickly became a favourite for Sarah and me as well as many… Continue reading Adore
Taking America Back for God (Review)
There’s been a lot of heated discussion about four authors and books over the past few weeks. The debate follows an article by David Gushee citing them as significant authors in a recent movement that is redefining and redescribing Evangelicalism -something he talks about in terms of a deconstruction project. These are Kristen Kobes Du… Continue reading Taking America Back for God (Review)
Jesus joy of the highest heaven/what child is this?
Today we’re looking at two carols. The first is a contemporary children’s carol by Keith and Kristyn Getty “Jesus, joy the highest heaven.” The second is a little more traditional “What child is this?” It’s antiphonal in style allowing for parts to be sung with some asking the questions and others responding. It’s usually set… Continue reading Jesus joy of the highest heaven/what child is this?
Update on COVID Church Risk Management (09/12/2021)
Yesterday Boris Johnson gave an update and brought in new measures for England in response to the Omicron variant. Those measures essentially bring England into line with the rest of the United Kingdom and include the following: The NHS COVID pass (vaccine passport) will be required for unseated venues (over 500 indoors and 4000 outdoors)… Continue reading Update on COVID Church Risk Management (09/12/2021)
The solution to toxic culture? – a meal with Jesus
Has there been anything in history comparable to the horrific things reports of abuse, bullying and toxic culture coming from evangelical churches over the past few years? Well, yes there has. Right back in the first century, the mission of the church could have almost been undone by the antics of the Corinthian church. There… Continue reading The solution to toxic culture? – a meal with Jesus
