Rebecca needs enlightenment!

February 22, 2004

Without wanting [...]

Look on the dark side of life

February 21, 2004

The guardiansays : “Look on the dark side of life”, and seems to say we need to be realistic about lifes problems.

Draw swords……

February 19, 2004

Someone has moved that bible verse…..
Remember that game some of us played as kids in sunday school, well heres the challenge- find a verse (that I am SURE is in there somewhere!) that says something along these lines.

Full Engagement……

February 18, 2004

One of the many ironys of parallels between the UK and US has to do with our view of politics, religion and the state. We don’t have a well developed Christian Media presense, but most of them, like most pastors would tend to take a rather detached view when it comes to politics. [...]

Why did Dean fail?

February 16, 2004

I have decided not to express too many opinions on the US elections- believe it or not I was approached by an over eager online campaigner to endorse George W Bush. Clearly I have been identified as a Republican! I declined to comment either way due to an old fashioned belief that I shouldnt [...]

Aim higher!

February 15, 2004

Thanks to Joshua Claybourn for this:
“‘If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. The Apostles themselves, who set foot the conversion of the Roman Empire, the great men who built up the Middle Ages, the English [...]

A quote from the politically correct lobby-”‘The word [...]
