Living with Somebody Watching Your Every Move

September 23, 2008

I was reading this piece about the latest in “reality TV” and wondering what is it about people that makes them want to volunteer to have somebody install cameras in their home and watch everything they do for several months.

Pressing In To Know God

September 22, 2008

This quote from Martyn Lloyd-Jones should challenge us in our determination to truly relate to our glorious risen Saviour. Do you know God?

Dare to Ask God for Success

September 3, 2008

Yesterday, at two different times during the day, I was confronted with the idea of God granting success to people.

TOAM08 – David Devenish – A Call to the Nations (Jeremiah 1)

July 10, 2008

I was getting tired last night, so I devoted more of my attention to being personally impacted by this message and less to typing. Thus, these notes will probably be shorter than some of the other sessions, which is probably just as well! Last night’s main session was taken by David Devenish. Dave is based [...]

NWA08 – Mike Ovey on Humanity

April 8, 2008

Mike Ovey is the new principal of Oak Hill Theological College. His seminar was billed as one that would be more “stretching,” which drew me in like a moth to light. New Word Alive certainly seemed to be familiar with substantial and weighty teaching, which is very encouraging to see. We began by being asked [...]

Help for our Prayerlessness – by Sam Storms

January 24, 2008

Part of the reason for my blog holiday has been, hopefully, to fit more time for prayer into my schedule which, even without blogging, remains tightly packed. As usual, I have not found that as easy as I would like—although I am praying more than I normally do. What is it about prayer that we [...]

Review of the Year – My Life in Jubilee Church, London

December 17, 2007

For me, once I have prioritized my own personal inner life and relationship with God, then my dear family, a clear third place in my affections is given without a moment’s doubt to my local church. Family does come before the church, but of course our church is like an extension of my family and [...]

September 11, 2007

Hi! Mrs. W. here again. When I read this passage this morning, I was reminded of flowers, like in this picture. They are so fragile, so vulnerable, and so utterly dependent upon God for their fleeting lives. Today being the day we remember many who lost their lives in the atrocious terrorist attacks, I am [...]
