Judge yourself on what you are doing

There are too many “co-incidences” in my life to believe that something is not happening. On Sunday we heard a great sermon from Derek Tidball (london school of theology) - he talked to Judges 5 and ran through the 12 tribes that were asked to fight with Deborah and Barak. 7 fought and 5 didn’t. [...]

Crisis at Tynecastle………..again!

What is going on at Hearts? First we lose 2-0 to Kilmarnock. Then our manager, Valdas Ivanauskas, flys to Lithuania to meet our owner, Vladimir Romanov. We expect him to be sacked, but instead he comes out and says he is having two weeks off due to a health problem. Then Romanov comes to the [...]

Would you go naked to church?

Mark Driscoll is kicking off with a post on what people wear to church. This is a ridiculous issue that we have to keep talking about. Jesus looks at the heart and not the clothes - turn up in whatever you feel comfortable waering IMHO and worry more about your heart than your dress sense. [...]

Stuff the enlightenment, lets have a revolution

Shane Claiborne continues to stretch my mind, to make me just want to get off my seat and do something. There are so many minor things that I might take issue with, so many assumptions and prejudices that could be wrong, but if I took that approach, I’d be totally missing the point. As Karl [...]

Time to shout out to God for a friend

Colin Lamm, a made up name out of the letters of his real name, has posted about his upcoming medical trip, where it sounds like he is going to receiving some serious medical attention. I’ve never met this guy but have exchanged comments and posts and feel I know him a little as a result. [...]

Lets rock this city upside down

This weekend I decided to have a slight peek inside “The Irresistible Revolution” by Shane Claiborne - bad move, I haven’t been able to put it down since (apart from having to work today of course). He’s a guy who just decided to live for Jesus, learning and making mistakes as he went. He never [...]

RED is the colour

Bono has launched RED, which is a campaign to get us to spend our money in a way that can help expand the global fund for AIDS treatment. Jamie comments on the concept over here. There is a manifesto. I’m not going out to buy RED products for the sake of it, but if I [...]

We have church sorted - not

I’ve talked before about missional life. Just to get some insight into what someone unused to a church thinks when they walk through the door, read the poem in robbymac’s post. Quite hard hitting. What would these guys say in your church, in my church service? Of course, church is more than a service. And [...]
