Welcome to my website
I am a pastor and Christian educator.
In a nutshell, this is what I do…
Understand the Bible
My online ministry focussed on creating videos and songs to teach the Bible and the Christian faith.
The Bible Uncancelled
A short, weekday thought from the Bible published on video or podcast.
This Blog
I only write occasionally here now, as my attention is focussed on the two things I mention above. However, there is an archive of over 2,000 posts which I’ve made over the last 20+ years, these posts are all still accessible.

Creation / Evolution 1: Why it matters
This is the first part on my mini-series Creation, Evolution and Evangelicalism. I thought I’d start off by answering the question, “Why does it matter?” Why should we bother discussing issues of evolution – is there any difference in whether you believe in a literal 6-day creation or evolution? Well, in some ways I think…

Creation, Evolution, and Evangelicalism
If you’re a long-time reader of this blog, you will know that I don’t shy away from the Big Questions: what I had for tea last night (pasta and chicken), what I think of the latest Coldplay album (at the time of writing Mylo Xyloto – I’m not a fan of it at the moment…),…

QI and Quirinius’ Census
I was watching QI XL last night, and the topic of the Bible came up (you can still see it on the iPlayer at the time of writing – at 20 minutes in). Now, it should be pointed out before we start that Stephen Fry has been known to be wrong before – he is not infallible!…

Autumn is the new summer
…given some of the temperatures we’ve had recently! That said, the last few days have been getting down to the kind of temperatures one would expect at this time of year. I’m not complaining, anyhow! Just thought I’d make another post to update with my progress. We are nearly done with the first term here…

Fireworks Night

Autumn
phillsacre’s photostream on Flickr. Went out for a walk this afternoon with Mrs Phil. We went alongside the Dollis Brook, something like the Dollis Valley walk but I’m not exactly sure. Anyway, it was a beautiful autumn day and I took some photos 🙂

Half Term
Just a quick update to say that it’s half term this week. After lunch on Friday, Phil and I drove back to Colchester, and that’s where we’ve been ever since. (Well, sort of.) Phil’s sister Roz and her husband Matt joined us on Friday night – they were going to a wedding on Saturday nearby…

The Dawkins/Lane Craig non-debate
Richard Dawkins is stirring things up again. (Surely not! – sorry, I’d better not be sarcastic). In an article on The Guardian ‘Comment is Free’ section, he explains why he isn’t going to debate William Lane Craig. In case you don’t want to read the article, what Prof. Dawkins’ comments come down to is that…

Protesting Supermarkets
I’ve read a couple of articles recently which have got me thinking. The first one was about people who protest supermarkets such as Sainsbury’s, Tesco etc – unfortunately I can’t remember where I found it so I can’t link to it! (May have even been… hushed tones… on paper!) The other article was called Good…
