Over the course of the two-and-a-half years that I have been Pastor at Caerwent, by God’s grace I am seeing spiritual-growth in many of the believers. I have also seen the spiritual conversion of some, including two young women: Isabelle and Dixie. It was my pleasure and honour to baptise...

  How can I know God’s will for my life? This is a question I hear all the time. Your best bet and definitely the best place to start is by reading the Bible. If you’ve never read the whole thing, and aren’t still ploughing through it day by day,...

How did you become who you are today? Are you the person you envisioned you would be 10 years ago? We are all products of our past, aren’t we? Every one of us have been shaped and moulded to be who/what we are today. We have made thousands of decisions...

Recently, South Wales was badly struck by storm Callum. Carmarthenshire, in particular, suffered more floods than they have in over thirty years. Over 260 properties across Wales were damaged.

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. This would imply that there...

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...

This blog is an attempt to answer the problem as to why teenagers might feel so far from the Lord after a mountaintop experience at a camp. If you’ve ever been on a Christian camp, you know that it’s the best week of the year where you get to spend...
