A Santa we can happily celebrate

At a Christmas Day church service I attended some years ago, the service leader started reading what he thought was a pretty humorous debunking of the “Santa delivering toys to every home on Christmas Eve” story.
Limited prayer limits evangelism
- Stephen Liggins •

Prayer is a bit like apple pie, motherhood, and long weekends: everyone is for them! I mean, is there anyone who doesn’t enthusiastically embrace these fine institutions?
The danger of Christian sluggishness
- Ian Carmichael •
- 6 February 2017
One of the things that trouble me about discussions of sermon length is the all-too-frequent assumption that it’s the preachers who need to change if people are switching off in sermons.
Do Catholics and Protestants believe in the same God?
- Mark Gilbert •
- 20 February 2017
This is different to the question “Can Catholics be Christian?”, to which the answer would be a hearty yes! This question looks at the fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church and compares them to those of Protestants and asks if we are talking about the same thing.
Choosing a daily Bible reading method

If we want to hear from God, to know him more and more and to see his works in the world, we can do no better than regularly listening to him in Scripture for our entire lives.

If I hear one more person—or myself—groan “I’m soooo busy”, I think I might explode. Or wilt. That gripe is getting really boring. Worse, I fear we are groaning about something that’s good.

You’ve probably heard the old saying “the main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing”. When it comes to ministry, it’s a useful adage that helps us review and stay on track with what we are doing.

When a single idea has dominated a person’s life for nearly thirty years, it doesn’t mean it is necessarily a good or worthy idea. But it probably does mean the person can show you things about that idea that have never even occurred to you.
What are you doing Wednesday night?
- Ian Carmichael •
- 12 January 2017
When it comes to small/growth group ministry in churches, not only is there a surprising shortage of aim-taking, but also a fundamental lack of clarity about what that aim actually is.
