A church is not truly catholic just because it has ancient architecture, formal liturgy, or a supposedly unbroken line of human bishops tracing back to Peter himself. A church is truly catholic when it holds fast to the apostolic gospel of Jesus Christ.
In one of his sermons, Jonathan Edwards called families “a little church,” which is a good illustration of spiritual responsibility. The greatest responsibility for the spiritual life of a child is held not by a pastor or youth worker, but by their parents. (From 2017)
I have no hesitation in recommending Truly Positive. It is easy to read. It is comprehensive, covering a wide range of negativity triggers in modern life. It is biblical. It is written by a loving pastor with thoughtful application in each of the thirteen chapters. It will help us drive out negativity as we (re)discover good reasons for thankfulness, contentment, and generosity.
The consortium approach aims to simultaneously maximise the economies of scale required to efficiently engage with the administrative requirements inherent to formal academic qualifications; the dogmatic convictions and ministry priorities of different denominations and institutions; and a smaller-scale, communal approach to ministry formation.
The distress, darkness, gloom, anguish and the hunger which Isaiah foresaw is still with us—and for exactly the same reason: we’ve pushed God away ... And as a consequence, just like our ancient forebears, we’ve become unstable and insecure and lonely and afraid. (From 2017)

It’s easy to overlook that the Bible itself, as artefact, is a technology ... We’ve only had the word of God in its current printed book form since the invention of the printing press a bit over 500 years ago ... Before the printing press, a single copy of the Gutenberg Bible was formed from 170 calf skins.
I commend Evangelism in the Local Church for all who are in Christian ministry leadership. It is provocative, but in the best way – provoking us to seek God’s glory and people’s eternal good.

Faithful Christians desire adequate discipleship, catechetical and apologetic resources to equip themselves and others to stand firm against the social forces that seek to undermine Christian faith and identity.
