This post from Missionary Confidential is well worth reading and pondering upon. I suspect that it could also be applied to some evangelistic work in the UK, too. Just over a year ago, I read “Following Up on Your Mission Trip” and was jolted by the honesty of this: “I first became aware of the […]

God and the World
“Isn’t it amazing that the God who made heaven and earth is willing to entrust his mission to people like us.” Someone one said this in a meeting I was part of this morning. It’s a familiar thought and I’ve said the same thing fairly often. This morning, however, I had a bit of an […]
How Africa Shaped the Christian Mind is a bit of a mixed bag. It is partly a demonstration of the pivotal role that Africa played in the early history of the church, partly a plea for scholars (especially African ones) to do fundamental research into early African Christian literature and archeology and partly a lament […]
My second and last, day in Bangkok has finished with an amazing thunderstorm and I am dripping wet – though not, I have to say, frightened. This morning, Francis and I went to church at the Anglican Church (Christ Church) just around the corner from where we are staying. Apart from the multinational nature of […]
On the Road Again (Again)
Well, I’ve been in Bangkok for just over 24 hours.The journey out here was a good one. At first, I was disappointed to find myself on an old 747 without a good selection of films to watch for the long night flight, but – wonder of wonders – I ended up having a row of […]

Starting with one man and his barren wife, then miraculously transforming them into a large family within […]
Imagine There’s No Heaven
Actually, according to Onesimus, there is no need to imagine that there is no heaven, because there is no such place anyway. Before you gasp and condemn him as a heretic, read a bit of what he has to say. One would think that Bible-believing Protestants would know better. But for some reason, many of […]
Mission and Repentance
The first recorded command of Jesus was not “Go”, but “Repent”. In this respect, he joined the ranks of the great Old Testament prophets for that was their unanimous message to God’s people across all the centuries of their existence. We have seen how some of the most profound missional passages in the Old Testament […]
Chris Wright: The Marks of Mission
In a comment on an earlier post, Mark Meynell mentioned Chris Wright’s sermon on the Marks of Mission at All Souls this week. Can I briefly endorse Mark’s comment and suggest that you get over to the All Souls website and download the sermon immediately. It will only be available for four weeks, so if […]
