Reformed Rapping & Catechisms!
Right, here is one more post on rap! I know, I know. But I found this clip online and I was just immensely impressed by it. I also discovered a website called, ‘Reformed Rappers’ with some great articles including one, unbelievably, on the subject of the regulative principle. It’s worth a look around even if rap is not your thing. How cool is the…
Christians in Football
This is an old clip from match of the day about faith in the Premier League. The piece was presented by Gavin Peacock who is coming to Niddrie next month (October 26th-Nov 5th) for 10 days. It is fascinating to watch the reaction of Lawro and Keown as they fumble about trying to be nice about the Christian faith whilst it is patently obvious they do not believe.…
How Too Much Discipleship Was Hurting Our New Christians

Just to prove that (c)rapness knows no cultural bounds! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnT22QImDLY] OK…this has been a ‘stop doing rap if it’s not your gig’ week. Indeed, what is worse is when churches think they’re cool by doing it as some sort of marketing tool to reach non Christians. They just think you’re tragic and very,…
The Hard Corp
Anybody else remember the days when book launches were sedate things done in coffee houses and maybe a quick plug from the pulpit? Not these days my friends! Here is the launch video of a book written by Dai Hankey, a friend of mine who is church planting in one of the toughest estates in Wales. It look suspiciously like a Scene from, ‘Saving Private Ryan’.…

Being Wise In Church Revitalisation.
I am away for a few days so I will not be personally posting until some time next week. I found this small article recently and thought it may be worth further reflection.
