I know this is long (nearly 46 min), but there are some good personal testamonies here about family breakups and how Jesus has helped people in their situation:

Let me know what you think …
Well, it’s good to see that the website is still here. I haven’t looked at it for over a year and it seems no-one has blogged on it for two. That aside, I’m thinking it is time to crank things up again. So much can happen in a couple of years; whole new people can […]
I found myself listening to a bit of an ambush interview on a seemingly pretty fundamentalist web site that posted on youtube. I haven’t read that much by Doug Pagitt but what I have seemed pretty sound to me. The interviewer just won’t let him explain his perspectives and it saddened me that there was […]
We were talking the other week about how we would like to read the bible together and we came up with the cool idea of having a read through of the whole book of Matthew.
So we’ve set ourselves a challenge to read the whole book together out loud in one afternoon/evening. And in true apres […]
Essential to C.S. Lewis’s journey to faith were the intellectual stages along the way. He identified his teenage self as a materialist, in that though his passion was for mythological literature, the grimness of the material world was all that he could truly believe in. At university, he began to recognise that realism is somewhat limited: […]
Religion is: “violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism, tribalism, and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children.” So says Christopher Hitchens who has just written a book called: “god is not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything” and has appeared last week on Radio 4 and BBC’s Question […]

A question? Should we make ourselves write blogs when we don’t feel like it, or just wait until we feel inspired? If we do the latter, we will probably go from blog famine to blog feast forever (not that I’m saying there’s anything […]
I’ve just finished reading a chapter on Worship in Brian MClaren and Tony Campolo’s book,
Adventures in Missing the Point.
It has lead me to think some more thoughts on my previous blogpost.
The previous post was written out of frustration with Worship. Not a personal dig at any of our committed and hardworking worship leaders; just […]
I got thinking about angels/demons after we discussed the fall - weeks ago I know. Putting my thoughts into words isn’t my particular strong point, neither is theology so I decided to buy a book by Billy Graham to help me write. Looks good, trouble is, I haven’t had time to read it so I’ll just […]
Today, my lunch was an unholy alliance of Steak and Guiness pie, Bratwurst and Sauerkraut. Yesterday, I had a drink called a Mohito - God only knows what was in it other than the root vegetables and Vodka. It cost 6 quid and took about half an hour to make. It had a kick that felt […]
