During the weekend’s outreach in Slough, one of the Elder’s at church said something really powerful. They spoke of not wanting to just come to church and be shaken emotionally but not changed. This reminded me of James Bond’s famous request for his drink to be “shaken but not stirrred”.
Let me explain how I saw [...]

A lot of the cartoons on the site were not the kind of thing I would endorse. However, the below cartoon was quite profound and summed up modern, secularisim’s view of God beautifully.

And if that is the case, I guess I’ll have to say like Paul ‘after the way called heresy so worship I the God of my fathers…’
