The Bible is the most historically accurate, most studied, translated, debated, copied, and analysed book in the whole of human history. Why? So much has been written about Jesus Christ that, from a historical perspective, He is an undeniable historical figure. If you believe in any historical figure at all…
New evidence for Christ Jesus
More recently I have taken interest in the historical evidence for Jesus. This is a very short post about that. I have just finished watching one of Sean MacDowell’s videos (for those who are of a similar age Sean is the son of Josh MacDowell who wrote ‘Who rolled away…
Body Scan Dream
I was asked by some medical person to get under this big device which was like a single narrow arched wall i.e. half an arch. I sat on an old flat wicker chair and sidled on it slowly like a crab sideways in line with the machine. I looked at…
Herald grabs writers attention reminding him of the message
For some time now I feel like I have been paddling on the edges. I am going to stick my head above the parapet and speak. As a follower of Christ it is beholden of me to proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom. I cannot get away from it! Over…
Spiritual warfare, what you need to know!
Spiritual warfare and the kingdom: Satan, demons and principalities This subject is one that can be a contentious issue. We in the west live in a materialistic world. What-you-see with your two eyes is what-you-get, kind of approach. In other parts of the world, they are more aware of these…
You’re included in the Royal Family whatever state your in!
At the church I attend we are in a period of seeking God – shouldn’t we always! As it happens our verse for the year states this theme. It is found in 1 Chronicles 16.11 and can also be found in Psalm 105.4. This verse and the surrounding verses are…
You shall know the truth, it will set you free
Nebulous thoughts in the mornings that cannot be pierced, don’t bode well. When they linger through the day – you feel like you’re in trouble! One questions am I doing something wrong? It starts to affect your whole outlook for the day. I was having one of those days, except…
A short commentary on the poem The Windhover by British comedian Frank Skinner!
A Comedian’s Prayer Book was a recent acquistion; a birthday gift from my wife, written by Frank Skinner. Being only a little familiar with his shows I am intrigued by this small book. I thought I’d look him up as I have time whilst gardening to listen to podcasts and…
A longing in life common to all of humanity
I ended up on Pluto (the planet that once was a planet). I was on a track which was just like a track in the English countryside. It was set into a hill somewhat like a shallow version of a drovers road. There was a woman who appeared by me…
When darkness comes – choose to resist
The doorbell rang. A man went to the door but couldn’t see or hear who it was even when he opened the door fully. Outside of the door was dark blackness. There was a presence, a person blending in with the darkness. The man asked as he thought he saw…
The staff that brings comfort and directs the right way
Do you feel like you’re stretched thin at the moment? Do you think, ‘I’m not sure I’ll hold up’? Can I continue like I am? Is everything being stripped away from you? This may well be for you. We are all under pressure in so many ways as we enter…
Awake to newness of life!
Something we see, at first may not initially catch our attention. Yet there’s something about it that tugs at us and makes us take a closer look. Like Moses and the burning bush in Exodus 3. He sees the bush like he would have at any other time but because…
Shaking picture
The 25th March was the day after Boris Johnson declared a nationwide lockdown regarding the Coronavirus. The same day my wife went to work as a nurse in the hospital as she normally does. That was when the possible consequences of the pandemic really hit me. I awoke with anxiety…
Who Jesus is to me.
As we come to this Christmas time I want to share who Jesus is to me, making it personal and hopefully encouraging you and maybe enticing you in further to knowing him more. When I was 8 I read a lot, reading the Bible was one of the many books…
