I try to set time aside every couple of weeks to walk up to strangers and share the same powerful gospel that saved me. Many Christians want to do this but lack confidence, so here are some practical tips from my own experience.
The art of biblical interpretation: Inspiration and unity
- John McClean •
- 24 July 2015
We’ve looked at the implications of the doctrine of inspiration for reading the Bible. Since the Bible is God’s word, we don’t read it ‘just like any other book’. We reverence it as we revere God. We can’t understand the Bible without knowing the Author. We receive every part of the Bible as God’s word, no picking and choosing. This final discussion of inspiration focuses on the unity of the Bible.

When sacrifice isn't really sacrifice
- Ian Carmichael •
- 20 July 2015
Romans 12:1 is often used as the go-to verse to back-up the challenge to be fully committed as a Christian. To give up my ambitions, and really make sacrifices for the sake of God. But as I was reading Romans 6 it struck me that reading 12:1 this way is probably misreading it and unhelpful.

Biblical recruitment: Human-shaped service
- Peter Tong •
- 10 July 2015
Most pastors at one time or another have had a conversation with someone engaged in ministry, when they tell us things aren’t going so well. It can be hard to diagnose the problem in the moment. Maybe the person is over it or burnt out, too busy elsewhere, or wanting to try something new.

Calling to ministry
- Tim Grant •
- 3 July 2015
Regularly when I sit down with someone, they’ll use the phrase ‘called to ministry’. I don’t have a dislike of this phrase, it can be very useful—only when most people use it, it isn’t.
