An Easter Tale
Reading Time: 7 minutesLet me tell you a tale.
It starts in a garden, long, long ago.
And what a garden it was – literally, a paradise on earth. A place of grandeur and beauty, filled with trees of every description and with leaves in every shade of green, soaring upwards towards a sky so blue it hurts the eyes.
The sound of a great river can be heard flowing through this garden paradise, a source of life and refreshing for… -

Will Progressive Christianity Destroy The Church?
Reading Time: 8 minutesI want to talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while. Some time ago, I watched a commentary by a ‘Christian pastor’ that totally shocked me. In fact, I haven’t really stopped thinking about it since.

John Writes A Letter
Reading Time: 8 minutes“God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us.

Women + Church Ministry
Reading Time: 21 minutesThe early Christians faced many challenges in their new life of faith in Jesus. The gospel boldly sought to realign humanity according to the values of a true and impartial God. Differences based on race or social status found no place in this new religion.

Walking With God
Reading Time: 7 minutes“He has told you, O human, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you, but to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” | Micah 6:8 NAS 1977
Knowing And Being Known
At the heart of us all is a deep desire to be known; to be so intimately connected with another person that it’s as if we are no longer two people but one – ‘a single soul… -

A Christian Response To The Global Crisis
Reading Time: 4 minutesHow we, as Christians, respond in times of crisis is not just vitally important for our own faith and for our witness of the gospel, it’s important for the wellbeing of those around us, who may be struggling with doubts and fears in what is a very distressing and anxious time.
A Measured And Faithful Response
I want to speak plainly to a disturbing trend currently being observed amongst some, in response to the current pandemic facing…
