Chris Moyles On Church

June 16, 2009

Radio One chat shows in the UK are not exactly known for being pro Christian. But this video has commentary from Chris Moyles for six minutes with his team talking about his very positive reaction to watching a televised service that was a bit different to your average church (HT Peter O):

Koinonia and Generosity

November 26, 2008

Terry Virgo has been blogging a series entitled Remember the Poor. He begins by talking about the extraordinary sense of togetherness that was experienced by the early church. I suppose I would characterize it as a sense of “brothers in arms.” There was a missional purpose that was accompanied by a relational [...]

Spurgeon – Conversions are God’s Stamp of Approval on Preaching

October 4, 2008

I’ve been sharing a number of quotes from Spurgeon’s The Soul Winner. Today I thought I’d share one which is quite striking. It argues that since conversion is a miracle, it is by a trail of such miracles we can know if someone is called to preach.
“A new and heavenly mind must be created by [...]

September 13, 2008

UPDATEThis was up for less than an hour before I received three responses! The list of the nations can be found on the Stoneliegh 2001 CD, The Fathers Embrace, which is available on iTunes, at least in the UK. I would be interested to know if that URL works in the USA as well.

Multiculturalism – You Are What You Eat?

September 10, 2008

I thought I would do a short series of posts looking at some of the practical implications of thinking in a multicultural way within the context of a Christian worldview. There is probably nothing more firmly embedded in our cultural identities than what we choose to eat. If you are English of a certain age, [...]

Spurgeon on Church Statistics

September 6, 2008

Spurgeon’s book, The Soul Winner, is the kind of book you really need to read several times over the course of your life. I decided to dip into it once more over the summer, and read just the first chapter. It’s a book I have recommended previously. I found the following quote which is interesting. [...]

Driscoll in Australia

August 21, 2008

Driscoll had a fascinating and substantial video interview with the Sydney Anglicans which I just had to draw to your attention.
Intriguingly they are happy to describe him as “Apostle to the generation wired“!
The fact that he can be well received by both Newfrontiers and the Sydney Anglicans says a lot about the ministry [...]

August 5, 2008

Ed Stetzer on Modern Day "apostles"

August 1, 2008

Ed Stetzer has a great post discussing the concept of apostolic work today. He has some great links many of which would on first glance describe a view very similar to that which I hold. There almost seems to be a consensus emerging that recognises the need for some kind of apostolic role [...]
