Praying for the Persecuted Church : Burkina Faso
This lent I am using resources provided by @BarnabusFund to pray & fast for the persecuted Church. Each day is challenging & humbling – reading of the terrible suffering of my brothers & sisters in Christ endure for His name’s sake. (There is a recurring theme to most of the persecution, but like the recurring […]
The Prayer of Helplessness
Two years ago today I had the privilege of visiting the Martin Luther King visitor centre in Atlanta and the Ebenezer Baptist Church where he was Pastor. Among the many profound and moving things I got to see, this inscription from one of the displays happened to be the “on this day” reminder from my […]

Why we still need Orwell
So many great articles in this week’s @spectator. First up, from @toadmeister… #FreeSpeech
IMDb: Green Book
A serious subject treated seriously, but with humour and without lecturing or profanity. Challenging. Entertaining. Moving. Brilliant. Watch it! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6966692/ Coincidentally, currently reading this… Lord, we need his sermons now more than ever. How on earth have we got to the state where we are now more concerned about the colour of a person’s skin […]
Image from #Berkshire
This image of our national flag draped out of a window was worthy of sneering contempt by an MP of the party for the many not the few. Today, I happened to be driving my white van around a neighbourhood inhabited by A-list celebs. The picture below was just one of numerous houses I saw […]
