Reformed Theology v Hyper Calvinism
You can access an interesting article here about this subject. I find that there is a lot of ignorance in many UK churches about what it means to be ‘reformed’. I have blogged about this already but I will say that many people have a poor or caricatured understanding of what it means to hold to a ‘reformed theology’. When people first discover my…
Take a guilt free break
This is a short article from resurgence (here) on taking a break to avoid burnout. I have to confess that I am almost useless at doing this. If I have a spare hour or two in the day I have to fill it by reading or doing something ‘productive’ because I find it so difficult to switch off. Any ideas?

Even though they are written from an…

Pastor as the Chief Fundraiser!
Darrin Patrick gives a lecture on what it means to raise funds for planting a church. His advice, ‘go and learn from somebody for a coupe of years. Shut up and work.’ Nice. Listen to what he has to say here.
