Ever climbed up Snowdon? I have. It was very tiring. I was thirteen when my father took my two brothers, my step-brother and me camping to a place called Cwm Nantcol in North Wales. One of the things on our holiday bucket-list was to walk up Snowdon. The day was...

I’ve always believed in God (accompanied with occasional doubts over the years), but haven’t always understood who God is; his character, his personality and his personhood. Even though my mother taught me about God and the Bible as a child, I imagined God as being a big bearded man in...

Galatians 5:22-23 – ‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.’ Notice in the verse above, it mentions the ‘fruit’ (singular) of the Spirit rather than ‘fruits’ (plural) of the Spirit.

Jesus said, “Get up, take up your bed, and walk.” When he said this to the ‘invalid’ man by the pool (John 5:8), he wasn’t joking. Whatever was wrong with this man (probably paralysed or lame) he had been this way for thirty-eight years. Everyone who knew this man knew...

What is the way? How can we know the truth? Who is the giver of life? Jesus says he is the way, the truth and the life. More than that, he said that the only way to God the Father is through him. One of the most famous verses in...

“Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8 The New Testament was originally written in Ancient Greek. It is a very old language which developed over many, many centuries. So, in many ways, the language is far richer than the...

Last year, my wife and I mourned the death of two family members. Libby’s grandmother (Grandma) died in July and my grandfather (Tadcu) died in November. It really is a terrible shock when you receive that phone call. It pains that you cannot say a goodbye or tell them how...
