I only write occasionally here now, as you will see. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, which are all still accessible.

  • The Pattern of Sound Teaching

    A week or so ago, my friend Andy asked me to write a guest piece for his blog. I duly obliged, and it was published a couple of days ago. Here’s a snippet to whet your appetite: But if the Trinity is a deeply Biblical and important truth for our faith, why is it that…

  • The Social Media Pandemic

    I am fascinated by social media. I just find it amazing how it seems to have changed the world so fast in so little time, I don’t think we have grasped how much difference it has made to our society. I think you can really see the difference it has made with the response to…

  • WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!

    I hate to break it to you, but – we are all going to die. Not of the coranavirus – well, not all of us, at any rate. Some will die of the coronavirus. Some will die of cancer. Some of us will die of old age, some will die young. Some of us will…

    New: Understand the Bible discipleship programme

    I’ve previously mentioned my new project, Understand the Bible. I have been working hard on this for the past few months, and I am pleased to announce that I’ve just launched the new Understand the Bible discipleship programme, which is available on the website. “Discipleship” is a word which simply means, learning to be a…

  • Jonathan Fletcher, Steve Timmis and the danger of tribalism

    As you may have seen in the news last year, Jonathan Fletcher, former vicar of Emmanuel church, Wimbledon, has been caught up in a storm over abuse – without going into all the details, see e.g. this article. Then, in the news last week, I read that Steve Timmis, CEO of the Acts 29 network…

  • I need your help!

    I am asking for support – I need your help! As you may have seen if you’ve been looking at this site regularly, I’ve recently launched Understand the Bible. I need a bit of help to get it all going, it’s something that anyone can help with. I’ve recorded a video which you can see…

  • “I’m not that kind of guy…”

    I’ve been thinking a lot recently about what type of person I am. It just seems over the last few months I’ve done a couple of things which don’t fit my “type”. A few months ago I started worrying about my fitness and health – I really wanted to try and lose some weight and…

  • Am I just my brain?

    A wise and learned philosopher once said, “We are living in a material world, and I am a material girl”. OK, those were the lyrics to Material Girl by Madonna – but, whether she realised it or not, I think she was onto something: many people today, especially within science, do think we are quite…

  • Introducing… Sacred Podcast

    I used to have a section on this site about “DJ Stuff”. This is because, in years gone by, I used to do a bit of DJing. With, you know, vinyl and everything. Anyway, I hung up my headphones a while ago and hadn’t done anything for years, but last year on a whim I…

  • Christians are not left or right (politically)

    Christians are not left or right (politically)

    Over the last year or two I’ve got into YouTube: it has gradually become a valuable resource where you can access high-quality content. One of the channels that I’m subscribed to is Douglas Carswell – he is formerly the MP for Clacton (who achieved notoriety by becoming UKIP’s first MP when he defected from the…
