Love, Grace and Mercy - New article
At last I have finished this article which I have been writing for years. These themes are throughout the Bible and it has been difficult to be selective. I have included what I consider to be most relevant from the Bible and there are some issues which are less obvious and controversial!

New article - Repeats or Mantras
This might seem like a strange subject for a Christian article. It was triggered by listening to some modern Christian songs in church meetings. I realise that it may be controversial but I do try to be biblical!

PRESENCE OF GOD
A few months ago, the pastor of a church which I follow announced that the main aim in their church meetings was for people to experience the presence of God. I was aware that this is an increasingly popular thing to say in modern churches and it sounds spiritual and plausible, but I began to wonder if it was actually a biblical idea? This article looks further into this! I guess it will be controversial - haha!

JUST ELDERS - a new article
Rev, Minister, Vicar, Priest, Pastor, Bishop, Deacon....and so the list goes on! The earliest churches, however, had a simple leadership structure with just elders. This article explores this and suggests that this simple structure is also appropriate for modern churches.

This Bible study by John Robertshaw explores the simple biblical church structure with just elders as leaders.
