HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA!

At the very heart of the Christian faith is the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. Whatever else we may believe about Jesus, if we have not grasped this truth in our hearts we do not have an authentic faith, indeed our faith is meaningless. Paul the Apostle made this point very clearly when […]

“THERE WILL BE WARS AND RUMOURS OF WARS”

This blog comes to you in Holy Week. The title and subject hardly sounds appropriate! It looks much more like an everyday current newspaper heading. Perhaps a more devotional or religious topic would be preferable? On a closer look, however, it is really very much more appropriate than it might first seem. To begin with, these […]

THE LOVE OF GOD in the DEATH OF CHRIST

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Mk. 15:34 “He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross” 1 Pet. 2:24 Along with the Resurrection, the crucifixion of Jesus will always remain at the very heart of our Christian faith. A proper and accurate explanation of the cross will always be […]

JOY and TEARS – The Approach to Easter

What a wonderful time Easter is! Spring lambs, longer days, first buds, and here in the South West masses of incredibly colourful daffodils. But, of course, the real glory is undoubtedly in the Easter story: a panorama of the most momentous events in the life of Jesus. It’s a prime time for meditation and reflection. […]

WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO?

I have frequently noticed that whenever a strong message of national judgement has gone out Christians are left puzzled about what they can or should do in response. They may well agree with the diagnosis of the national situation and even with the truth of coming judgement, but then feel quite helpless because there is […]

THE FEAR OF THE LORD

THE CALL TO GODLINESS in an AGE OF JUDGEMENT – 1 A shoot will come up from the root of Jesse; The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord and […]

A RECAP ON NATIONAL JUDGEMENT

It was in the year 2000, after some years studying the Jewish prophets, that I first felt I must speak a message of a severe impending national judgement. I called it “The Amos Word”. Let me explain this “Amos word”. Prior to one of the worst national catastrophes that the Jews have ever suffered, namely […]

HELLO AGAIN!

It is now some three to four years since I last published a blog, though one or two old blogs have been republished in that time. So “Hello, again!” to any of you who used to follow the blog, and “Hello!” also to any new friends who have tuned in. My intention is to pick up […]

The Resurrection of Jesus

This was first posted in April 2012. Personal Testimony I hope you won’t mind if I share a personal testimony with you on this occasion. I began the Easter period this year with a prayer that I might have a deeper grasp of the reality of the resurrection of Jesus. In the prevailing sceptical climate […]

The One Person

This post was first written in 2012 but is as relevant now as it has always been! “At the moment I am taking a bit of a break from “engaging” with the world in which we are living, so that though all sorts of things (important things) are happening in the world I am not […]
