For those of you who don’t subscribe to Youthblog (all 2 of you), I loved Ian’s commentry on the Church Times article…

I found this blog referenced on Think Christian and amused myself for a while enjoying the some of the awful signs found outside (mainly American) churches. Sadly though I found a link to this sign on flickr which outlines some of the narrow-mindedness of some Christian churches.
From the photographer:
Jesus made it his mission to serve [...]

Following on from my last post, I attended a prayer meeting this morning where a few of us got together for the first time. Martin announced that his inspiration for gathering together was the passage in Mark 3:17 where Jesus nicknames James and John the “Sons of thunder”. He strongly felt these words are significant [...]

A few weeks ago, I forgot my mum’s birthday. Well, I say forgot. I actually remembered it was her birthday and bought a card. What I failed to do was to call her up, wish her happy birthday, or even post the card to her. This is even more unforgivable when you know that I [...]

This is the sixth year I’ve been involved in the 11-14’s programme and yet again I absolutely loved being part of such an amazing and talented team! Sim has already posted on what we were up [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about the 11-14’s age group recently (especially as Spring Harvest is coming up fast). I’ve been running the church 11-14’s group for around 5 years and always had a lot of fun doing it, but I’m seriously considering if the programme we run is delivering what this age group actually [...]

I love this picture!

“A baby boy who was pronounced dead after a heart attack came back to life 30 minutes later as he lay in his grieving parents’ arms.”
There’s no mention of God or Christianity in the article, but it certainly looks like His handiwork to me!

Today I was supposed to be laying down some vocals for the upcoming Spring Harvest Pre School Praise 2 Album. I did some tracks on two New Wine Kids recordings last summer which went quite well, so my mate Andy asked me to come back and do a session for this new album too.
Unfortunately, I [...]
