Should Christians be AV only?

There are often debates in our churches about what Bible translation we should use.  In this episode, Michael, Ryan and Josh sit down to discuss if we as believers should be King James-only Christians and if not then why not?! We hope you will find this helpful and encouraging.  Do let us know if there […]

Active and passive singing

Singing is (or should be) an important part of our walk. The words of hymns can help us reflect upon the Word and what we learn on Sunday. Historically, Psalms played a significant role in congregational singing in reminding God’s people throughout the ages of God’s character, to encourage, to rebuke the nation and provide […]

The Christian bubble

2 Timothy 4:3 ESV For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions Matthew 6:33 ESV But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Oh dear… It rang no bells; no names. Yikes, not again! I had not even a faintest […]

There are hundreds of different denominations, and this annoyed me. Yet I believe God has shown me something else recently. Jesus had to deal with sectarianism with his […]

Being a balance

I was just chatting to Josh, literally a minute ago and this post came to me. Being a balance!   What do I mean by this? It all relates to me and my role in church. Confused? Well I intend to explain. Being the contemporary Christian When I find myself in a church that is a […]

The number game

Do you ever feel that sometimes church is a number game? I often get the question, ‘How big is your church?’ As if it’s the most important question going. Sometimes I just want to answer ‘Why does it matter?’ or ‘How big is God?’ But it is always asked and one you just have to […]
