Theological Worldview Revisited!

This is weird. I sat the theological worldview quiz again, half expecting to get a quite different result to when I did it before. I still came out as an Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan (!!!)
Frankly I’ve never thought of myself in that way, but if I move down the list a bit, I wholeheartedly embrace being called [...]

What’s Your Theological Worldview? – My Results

I took this little quiz to see where I’d come out on the Tehological Worldview scale. I’ve obviously been listening to a lot of Jonathan Martin’s sermons…

Look What I Have Done

My wife is a hidden poet. She writes, and some of it deserves a wider audience. I thought you might like to read this one. It spoke to me and I think it might speak to you too…

The Ascension & Exaltation: Lions, Swords and Floating

I’ve been pondering this for about a week now, and to be honest, a week isn’t nearly long enough to assemble and express my thoughts on this topic. It’s a doozy.
Here’s the deal. I was listening to a sermon by Pastor Mark Driscoll recently; part of a superb series about Jesus where he discusses some [...]

Castro – Fit as a Fidel

This from the BBC website:
AILING CASTRO SAYS “I FEEL GOOD”

 Um, so did James Brown….

Clouds & Penguins

I took a flight to Edinburgh recently. I realised that I love to fly. In fact, I can hardly grasp that some people have a mortal terror of flying. It seems incomprehensible to me. We, by nature, are land bound. Our entire perception of the world is bound up in the fact that we are [...]
