How we know affects how we live
If what we believe affects how we live, then “what we believe” includes how we know what we believe. The methods by which we go knowing truth about God, creation, humanity and new creation will affect our responding behaviours including our thoughts, emotions and words, not just the content we believe about those things. This… Continue reading How we know affects how we live
Prophecy Practicalities
As promised, here is an additional chapter for the E-Book “How do we know?” I recognise that not all readers will be continuationalists on the gifts of the Spirit and not all will agree with my approach to prophecy. However, I hope this is helpful for you too and you can make use of some… Continue reading Prophecy Practicalities
Well that clears that one up then … not
I don’t know if you’ve been following the story about gluten free bread and non alcoholic wine in CofE Communion. Well the Church of England have now issued a press release saying that it’s all okay because it is possible for churches to serve these alternatives. However, I am not convinced that this resolves things… Continue reading Well that clears that one up then … not
Lost sons, shrewd stewards and loved beggars -common themes across the parables

They are known as such not because they have lots of rules but because they are strict about who is admitted to the Lords Supper,… Continue reading Table fencing?
The things we hold tight
The other day, I wrote about a peculiar debate within the Anglican Church about the permissible ingredients in communion. Now apart from the fact that none of the Gospel writers have offered us an ingredients list or recipe for the elements, it seems a strange thing to be getting worked up about. We are at… Continue reading The things we hold tight
Concluding my interactions with Andrew Bartlett and his book “Men and Women in Christ”
I’ve decided that this is as good a place as any to conclude the debate/conversation I’ve been having with Andrew Bartlett. It’s not a conversation that continue indefinitely and I am at a stage where I need to give my time to other matters that are more my priority here on Faithroots, specifically I’ve got… Continue reading Concluding my interactions with Andrew Bartlett and his book “Men and Women in Christ”
As often as you strain the gnats and swallow the camels …
Apparently, the Church of England are debating the use of gluten-free breand and non alcoholic wine again. It seems a far cry from our current experience of church. My wife became a Christian in an Anglican Church and because of allergies was unable to consume the bread and wine. Special permission from the bishop was… Continue reading As often as you strain the gnats and swallow the camels …
