Doctor Who- dabbling in pollitics and the return of the Daleks

April 26, 2005

Newton’s Third Law is salivating at the return of the Daleks which will hit the UK screens this Saturday.

The plot centres around aliens who disguise themselves as politicians and there is [...]

April 23, 2005

Blogotional: has a great post which ends: “So what is my vision for preaching? Just this — it is a tool for my, and every other Christian in the congregation’s, use in their own ministry.

Don’t disregard leadership, preachers speak up!

April 23, 2005

Doing the McCheyne reading: today from 2 Tim 2 the phrase “Let no one disregard you.” struck me. The NIV translates this as “despise” and I am sure that most readers would say of course I don’t despise my leaders. But I cant help but feel that the people I discussed yesterday do ignore their [...]

Sermon preparation and "lay preachers"

April 22, 2005

Does Spirit-Less Preaching have power?

April 22, 2005

JOLLYBLOGGER: argues that the word preached can make a difference even if the preacher is in rebellion and not spirit-filled. I think that whilst it may well be true that this CAN happen, nonetheless it is not the ideal. There is definitely such a thing as the annointing to preach which is associated with a [...]

How to preach a good sermon

April 21, 2005

JOLLYBLOGGER shares his thoughts with us on sermon preparation and Blogotional has an interesting quote on the difference between sanctification and justification. The quote seems to imply that man has nothing to do when he is saved. Whilst I understand where this is coming from, there is no doubt in my mind that saving faith [...]

Unveiled Face: responding to his surprise warnie award: “Before saying anything else I should confess that once upon a time (i.e. quite recently), I would have added this to my collection of self-esteem-boosting stuff stored up in my brain.
