Letter from the Manse (152)

Thought provoking, biblical, often topical but always worth a read!

  • Floods

    The floodgates have opened. Winter 2013/2014 has been declared officially the UK’s wettest winter since records began. Our hearts go out to people who have lost everything - including, in some cases, their nearest and dearest. Many people are very angry.

  • Five Points

    I am encouraged by the feedback I’ve had about the Sunday morning series that’s just come to an end. It’s the first time I’ve preached a series on “the Five Points”.

  • Thank You!

    Another year comes to its end. 365 days. Some days have been very happy. Some very sad. Some when the Lord has seemed very close. Some when he’s seemed very far away. Yet goodness and mercy have followed me through every one of those days.

  • Santa Claus is coming to town?

    It’s that time again. The run-up to Christmas. We’ve been preparing our children. We’ve warned them. They mustn’t say it. They mustn’t even hint at it. Whatever anyone says to them, they mustn’t let it slip. They don’t believe in Santa.

  • Together

    I had an interesting email this week:   Is it good for a church to be part of a wider organisation - a “denomination”, a “fellowship of churches”, or an “association”?  Or is it better to remain independent?
