How People Change
I first got introduced to the scariest moustache in the world about 18 months ago through the work of CCEF (see links). So, I thought I would take the time to review one of his books today. It is called, ‘How People Change’ and I would put up a nice book cover of it but I can’t seem to get one to stick and paste! Mike, who will maybe read this later…
Believe what you like: it doesn’t really matter
Interesting little blog here on the danger of having so many ‘options’ in the so-called ‘Christian’ theological world. Have a read and see what you think.
The Reformed Pastor (4)
Here is the fourth installment of my updating of this immensely challenging book. My comments are in bold. Having explained the nature of what it means to be an overseer of the flock, he now moves on to talk about the manner in which a man must shepherd his sheep. He has 15 points: 1. ‘The ministerial work must be carried out purely for God and the salvation of…
A Critique of Radical!
As with all books there are fans and detractors. I am reserving judgement until I have read the whole thing but I have to say, being a fan of polemics, that I am mightily impressed with the first few chapters. Given all the wishy-washy lovey dovey rubbish being spouted these days by so-called evangelicals, it is nice to read guy unashamed by the hard truths of the gospel.…
Radical Living!
Thanks to my friend Robert Briggs for posting this. It looks interesting. We may not be chasing the American dream here in the UK but we have our very own version of it. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoicm4wnQ4c&feature=player_embedded]

Why sissies make bad Pastors
I found this article and was amused by it. check out the blog it came from here. I will make my comments in brackets. If you enter pastoral ministry… 10. Not everyone will like you. (This is an absolute given. Do not enter the ministry if you want everybody to be your ‘friend’, ‘respect your opinion’, ‘agree with you’ and…
The Importance of a Good Wife
A fourth threat to undermine a man’s ministry is a nonsupportive wife. It could also extend to the children, but particularly a nonsupportive wife, one who nags and battles a pastor as he tries to be faithful and loyal to the Lord and the church. If she is negative on the church or the people in it, or if she is spiritually out of sorts or materialistic and self-indulgent…
The Homosexual Issue @ NCC
Hmmm….I have thought long and hard before posting on this topic. Not out of a fear of putting forward my position but because it is such a hot topic that it is almost being done to death in Christian circles. Please refer to the various posts here for a multi-faceted view on the debate. This issue has raised its head in a number of ways at NCC over the last couple…
