The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
here is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
(Psalm 19 v 1â6)

Many of us have mixed feelings about our jobs. And rightly so!
Work is good (Genesis 2:28): We're created to be workers. And doing a job (whether that's paid or unpaid) helps fulfil our purpose, our humanity.
Work is fallen (Genesis 3:17-19): Our jobs are not as they are supposed to be. We live in a work where colleagues hurt one other; good things too easily become idols and our activity - and the activity of those around us - often becomes self-seeking rather than God-honouring. ... continue reading

Elenâs first Christmas passed her by with minimal fuss. By the second time round, however, she had really started to get her head around the whole Christmas thing â loving the bright lights, the cheesey songs and of course â all the presents. Bizzarely, however, it was a small cloth bag stuffed with soft nativity characters that she got most excited by.
It contained shepherds, a sheep, three wise men and some dodgy-looking angels. Mary and Joe were obviously in there too, but it was little baby Jesus who really captured Elenâs imagination the most. She couldnât get enough of him as she cuddled him, talked to him, danced with him and invited him to join her at every family meal. All she would talk about was âbaby Jesus thisâ and âbaby Jesus that.â
It really got me thinking about Jesus in a fresh way...... continue reading

MAJOR POINTS FROM THE MINOR PROPHETS
By John Blanchard
Evangelical Press. 286 pages.
ÂŁ9.99 ISBN: 978-0-852347829
âPlease open your Bibles and turn with me to the clean pagesâ, a friend of the authorâs once said when beginning a sermon! Pick up your Bible and look at the page edges. Are there maybe some âdirtyâ ones at the beginning (Genesis), in the middle (Psalms) and later on (the Gospels), but are they âcleanâ when it comes to the last twelve books of the Old Testament â the Minor Prophets?! I wonderâŚ... continue reading
July has been another exciting month: Christianity Explored is now available in Portuguese!
The translation was spearheaded by our Brazilian brothers at Editora Crista Evangelica and launched to 250 pastors earlier this month. Since then the course has been snapped up by church leaders and evangelists across Brazil â the material proving particularly popular at the 100th Spiritual Convention (a big event similar to the Keswick Convention). ... continue reading
When Elen was born she just seemed so perfect. As she started growing up, however, we soon realised that our precious little girl was not the perfect little angel she had first appeared to be.
Far from itâŚ... continue reading
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call to the Lord, who is worthy of praise,
and I am saved from my enemies.
Psalm 18:1-3
