A strategy to beat Pandemic

The game of choice this year has been Pandemic, a cooperative board game where all players join together to defeat viruses outbreaks across the world. I don’t know what made us think of this, but there we are. Pandemic is a notoriously difficult cooperative game…

Who's afraid of the farmer?

I am not fully decided whether it is the pandemic or the predicted economic and employment turmoil that I am most concerned about.

God's irresistible transformation

In Acts 9 we read of Saul’s encounter with Jesus on the Damascus Road, and his sudden and unexpected experience of being rendered blind. Done to him, it plunged him into darkness and removed from him every confidence, certainty, and comfort that he was previously used to, and made him dependent upon others.

Stop the world... don't stop the world

I remember press coverage of a “private” conversation between world leaders at a G8 summit a few years back where our (then) prime minister complained about the lack of thinking time and the relentless unceasing mill of meetings and decisions. There was no opportunity to pause or reflect or to gather evidence before setting events in motion, and as the leaders talked they each revealed a longing for space to reflect and consider.

A Season for Everything

A Season for Everything

As a parent, it is blatantly obvious that September heralds a new season. The return of children to school brings with it some much needed relief for diary management, the anxiety of whether our children will settle in well to their new classes and schools and the administrative challenge of how the drop-off and pick-up arrangements will actually work. Is it possible to be in two places at once?

The opening talk at the UCAN conference has caused quite a problem. Based on the profound book "The Starfish and the Spirit", I found my jaw dropping at many of its insights and its revelatory explanations of how God created the church to function.

Breath-taking simplicity, profound consequences, but only attainable through miraculous intervention. Impossible to see happen except in rare circumstances?

Life to the Full

Life to the Full

On my drive back home from school pick-up today I drove past a church which references ‘life to the full’ as part of its mission statement, shown boldly on its noticeboard outside. ‘Life to the Full’ - Sounds good, but what does it mean and are you experiencing it?
