This week I shall be hopping on the train from Tuesday to Friday to head to Bridgend, to the Wales Evangelical School of Theology (WEST). WEST are in the middle of their Summer Season and this week I have the immense privilege of sitting in on Dr. Wayne Grudem’s ‘Doctrine of Scripture’ week. This is what WEST has to say …
Re:Sound
Re:Sound, a new worship label from The Resurgence, has their website up and running. And what’s more, right now you can download their free 8 track sampler, with some familiar and some new songs. The sampler has got me excited for the launch of the albums, which I’ll be looking to purchase and share soon enough. So if you’re into …
“Preach the gospel at all times; when necessary, use words.”
“This saying is carted out whenever someone wants to suggest that Christians talk about the gospel too much, and live the gospel too little. Fair enough—that can be a problem. Much of the rhetorical power of the quotation comes from the assumption that Francis not only said it but lived it. The problem is that he did not say it. …
Dr. J. I. Packer: Thoughts for New and Old Christians
At last night’s service in Bath with Dr. J. I. Packer we were treated to a quick question and answer time before the main message (which incidentally was taken from Luke 1:67-80 entitled, “Safety, Certainty, and Enjoyment.”) From this Q & A session I want to highlight three questions and their answers that I found particularly insightful and helpful. 1. …
Buying Christian Books in Great Britain?
At a recent church service in Bath with Dr. J. I. Packer I came across a book distributor that caught my eye. 10 of Those.com is a Christian resources service that provide a good number of books at some pretty substantial savings. For example, the ESV Study Bible (hardback) is currently £26.97 – that’s cheaper than Amazon. And when you …
Jonathan Sherwin – Web Designer
My father’s web company began over 10 years ago. During those 10 years I have gained a fair bit of experience working for him; at times in a full-time role, and also part-time to support my work with YWAM. This April I returned to my native land and have taken the bold step to start my own business. Sound tricky? …
Dr. J. I. Packer Comes to Bath
When stopping through my local Christian book store yesterday I came across a leaflet promoting a talk next week from Dr. J. I. Packer. Naturally, I was very excited. Now, Dr. Packer has been made known to me chiefly through so many book endorsements. Along with this, he was also the general editor for the English Standard Bible (ESV), of …
The Cause
Yesterday a new sermon series, The Cause, began at Bath City Church. This ongoing series, from Ephesians, should be quiet exciting. I’ll be studying the book over the next month or so myself and look forward to learning much from it.
Ours is the theology of the Reformation
R C Sproul jr. has written a wonderful short piece on what it means to be on the Reformed ‘team’. Too often it is easy to identify our walk by the shadow of another man. But all men are sinners, and all are fallen and finite. The only person we should seek to ultimately emulate and aspire to is Jesus …
