Most people in my local area have a very limited knowledge of the Bible. There’s the odd occasion where someone hears the gospel and believes within a few weeks, but most people will take months if not years. I am in it for the long haul.
Writing has connected me with whole communities of non-Christians who need to hear the gospel but who do not necessarily know other Christians. God has been kind in gifting me with opportunities to share my faith, but that sort of pre-evangelism and evangelism is hard and lonely work.
Love that is only for another human person is hellish. As long as it presents itself as the true goal of human existence, erotic passion cheats lovers of the real Love for which they were made. (From 2016)
I’m good at starting books. Sometimes I don’t finish them, or I take my own sweet time. This year I was doing a lot of research, so my bookshelf was a mix of critical pop culture, heavy phenomenology, heavier satanic panic books, and reflective Christian books - with some fiction for bedtimes.
We gather as bodies with our bodies, forming a body. And … it all takes time. Like an oak tree, growth is slow. Relationships are uneven. People arrived damaged and leave partly healed. There are people we have to learn to like.
As a mother of three, each of the songs on on Tenielle Neda’s forthcoming album were written in the everyday moments of life and motherhood. “The Lord is My Shepherd”...
Preaching a funeral sermon is not an easy gig, and I want to acknowledge the preacher’s efforts. However, I really wish he had bolstered the sermon with the real, good hope of Christ. I wished I had heard the following:

Here are my ten favourite books from this year. There wasn’t a theme that emerged this year. It’s more of an eclectic mix of theology, psychology, science, apologetics, social commentary, and ancient Church Fathers.
I have been ministered to by so many good books, whether sacred or secular. My imaginative world has been shaped by great books. I write because I know how blessed I’ve been by writers, so I want to be that blessing.
God’s been kind in giving me access to much that has stimulated my mind, my heart and given me some joy.
After plenty of Bible reading and study, you should be able to distil exactly what it is about so you could summarise it in a couple of minutes to a child or hold forth for ten minutes to a ministry colleague. You won’t need your notes to do that because you will know exactly what this text is all about.
The Abolition of Man was first published in book form in 1943. As with much of C.S. Lewis’ work, his argument has proven to be remarkably prescient.
