Contraception – modes of action

April 27, 2003

I wonder why it is that issues of childbirth and contraception seem to cause more heat than light with all of us? Having just had a debate about what exactly is the mode of action of the pill (why should that be of interest I hear you say!) and the morality of having lots of [...]

Work, don’t take the credit!

April 27, 2003

My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition. –Indira Gandhi taken from The quotations page

Work- curse or call?

April 27, 2003

For many of us work seems like a curse and is something that we endure in order to earn money so we can do other things. I am not convinced that should be the case. Can we all get a job we love? I’m not sure but if we are realistic maybe we can get [...]

meekness explained

April 26, 2003

A couple of months ago I preached on meekness this was a message that certainly challenged me. I was reading in Philipians this morning the following passage which to me seems like a commentary on meekness.

Christianity is dead long live Christianity

April 25, 2003

A nice thought, which according to quotesblog comes from G.K. Chesterton | “”Christianity has died many times and risen again, for it has a God who knows the way out of the grave.” Thanks QuotesBlog even if it wasn’t the man himself its a great quote for these times of closing churches (and new ones [...]

Will faith alone save?

April 25, 2003
