What to expect?

In order to encourage you to read my blog I now want to give you some idea of the content I hope to post.

(1) Insights from my reading of the Bible and others Christian books that might stimulate and challenge others. My primary intention is to stand on the shoulders of giants and so pass on the wisdom of others rather than my own.

(2) Comment on contemporary affairs that impact the lives of Christians and the Church in the UK.

(3) Posts that will cause us to think about elements of our culture through the lens of the Scriptures. What does it mean to be a discerning Christian in the news we hear, the films we watch, and the books we read? I want to grow in my own discernment by interacting with you.

(4) Book reviews and recommendations. I want to get people reading great books. After Bible Reading, prayer and the support of other Christians the reading of good books has helped me to grow spiritually more than anything else. It is also an essential trait for anyone who might think about preaching for in the words of John Wesley, 'A man who will not read will not preach'.

(5) Lessons I am learning about preaching and pastoral ministry.
