Ouch!!
Sometimes people don’t like you. I mean they really don’t like you. You do something that they disagree with and the knives are out.
For those who are of a macabre mind, why don’t you pop on over to the comment thread on Mark Harris’ blog discussing my latest video and see all the love and [...]

What Others Think Of Me
It’s always interesting when you write a blog post or two which challenge others. In particular I’ve been fascinated by some of the responses to the video I did yesterday, so for posterity here’s some of the nicer things that people are saying.
Does the camera tilt down on Ould’s video to show the gay men [...]

Some More Thoughts On Martyrdom
On the whole the response to the post below has been good - most people have understood very clearly the simple truth that dying to self is the hallmark of Christian discipleship, and that sometimes that involves the ultimate cost. But some people haven’t.
For example, let’s take Mark Harris. Mark Harris is a member [...]

An Open Message To The Orthodox Bishops In Tec
Seeing as my wife and I will be on holiday when the TEC House of Bishops begins its important meeting next month, I thought I’d let the Windsor Bishops know at this point what I’m praying for them. If you share my thoughts then feel free to use the video on your own blog / [...]

Shock Exclusive - Martyn Minns And Peter Akinola Are Colleagues Who Work Together
OK, who wants some internal Anglican politiking? Really? Go on then…
The Church Times has a piece this morning “revealing” how a recent letter by Peter Akinola, the Primate of Nigeria, was extensively edited before publication by Martyn Minns, the new CANA bishop in Virginia. Apparently this is a huge scandal and indicative of some [...]

Can A Man Change?
You’ll have probably seen the fuss in the UK media over the failed deportation of Learco Chindamo. He’s the person who a decade ago murdered Philip Lawrence, the headteacher of a Maida Vale school. The fuss around his deportation is over the interpretation of the Human Rights Act which states that Chindamo, like any other [...]

80s Buzz
Simone has been blogging about introducing her kids to the programmes she watched as a child and wandering into Lidl to find a pair of Biene Maja socks, of all things. Of course, the video she links to is a more up-to-date version then the one I grew up on. So, for the [...]

Mary’s Day
Evangelicals find it pretty hard to handle Mary. On the one hand we reject the Roman speculation that is the dogma of the Assumption of Mary into heaven or the nonsense of the Immaculate Conception, the first of which only emerges in the 5th century and is denied by prior fathers, the latter of [...]

Why Listen?
I spent a portion of yesterday at the Anglican Communion Office, putting some more input into the Study Guide that’s being produced by Phil Groves as part of the Listening Process. The Study Guide is going to be made available to all the bishops attending Lambeth 2008 (assuming any come of course) and will [...]

Nanny 911
Do you know why I like Nanny 911 so much?
It’s not because the program teaches clear child-care techniques that are useful and practical. It’s not that you can watch families that are on the brink of ruin and despair being healed and mended. It’s not because it promotes healthy family values in the light of [...]

Some Thoughts On Preaching
Wise words from the authors of the wonderful Monergism:
Don’t criticize your preacher too much. He has a hard job.
Preaching is very personal. The preacher is vulnerable within the Community of God. He is weekly under the microscope, scrutinized by God and his people. You probably have no idea what that does to the dynamics [...]

Blinded By The Light
Fantastic quote from C S Lewis, with some musical accompaniment if you so wish.
“When I was an atheist my argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea [...]

Telling The Right Story
Peterson has posted an interesting video of Christine Bakke and Darlene Bogle outside the Southern Baptist Convention headquarters. Christine and Darlene are members of an “ex-gay survivors group” and this is a video of their response to the Southern Baptist’s stance on homosexuality. It’s about 15 minutes long and if you consider yourself on [...]
