Many of us have mixed feelings about our jobs. And rightly so!
Work is good (Genesis 2:28): We're created to be workers. And doing a job (whether that's paid or unpaid) helps fulfil our purpose, our humanity.
Work is fallen (Genesis 3:17-19): Our jobs are not as they are supposed to be. We live in a work where colleagues hurt one other; good things too easily become idols and our activity - and the activity of those around us - often becomes self-seeking rather than God-honouring. ... continue reading

Elenās first Christmas passed her by with minimal fuss. By the second time round, however, she had really started to get her head around the whole Christmas thing ā loving the bright lights, the cheesey songs and of course ā all the presents.

All she would talk about was ābaby Jesus thisā and ābaby Jesus that.ā
It really got me thinking about Jesus in a fresh way...... continue reading

MAJOR POINTS FROM THE MINOR PROPHETS
By John Blanchard
Evangelical Press. 286 pages.
Ā£9.99 ISBN: 978-0-852347829
āPlease open your Bibles and turn with me to the clean pagesā, a friend of the authorās once said when beginning a sermon! Pick up your Bible and look at the page edges. Are there maybe some ādirtyā ones at the beginning (Genesis), in the middle (Psalms) and later on (the Gospels), but are they ācleanā when it comes to the last twelve books of the Old Testament ā the Minor Prophets?! I wonderā¦... continue reading

Since then the course has been snapped up by church leaders and evangelists across Brazil ā the material proving particularly popular at the 100th Spiritual Convention (a big event similar to the Keswick Convention). ... continue reading
When Elen was born she just seemed so perfect. As she started growing up, however, we soon realised that our precious little girl was not the perfect little angel she had first appeared to be.
Far from itā¦... continue reading
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.

and I am saved from my enemies.
Psalm 18:1-3
