Times when we feel stuck, out of control, lost to the elements of life. Depending how we are stuck or what situation we are in determines how we need to respond…and what response we need. Recognition comes before repentance. This recognition can come to us through different means:  Conscience – instinctive feeling of right and wrong  Conviction – inner sense of God’s Spirit speaking to you  Creation ...

We are using the weeks of Lent to help re centre our life and faith upon the person of Jesus. Lent is a time of reflection, repentance and, as we travel through into Easter, restoration. Today, we are starting by putting life and faith into context. 'No man is an island; entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.' John Donne We are not islands, independent and isolated; rather we are connected, ...

The exlore section is a new and evolving part of the site which is dedicated to interacting and discussing issues surrounding life and faith. Over time we hope to build this to become a major point of discussion and debate and to include features, articles, blogs, podcasts etc that will stimulate thinking in these areas. We plan to start small and build as ...

Should we take the 'Christ' out of Christmas seems to be the ongoing question? I thought this year we had missed out on the furore - but apparently not and the EA recently issued a press release which was kindly forwarded to me. It reads: “MARGINALISING CHRISTIANITY WOULD BE A TRAGEDY FOR SOCIETY” Evangelical Alliance response to “Christianophobia” ...

That said, they are great letters packed with good stuff! In our first session we took a look at chapter one under the title 'True Transformation'. The idea was to consider how God has changed our lives. Actually, that's not true at all. We weren't looking at change, we were considering transformation - and there's a big difference ...
