It was on Easter Sunday that Jesus rose from death. Jesus had told his disciples before he was arrested that he would be crucified and on the third day he would rise from the dead. Sunday was the third day from Good Friday (Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Day). The second day after Good Friday. […]
During a weekend of speaking and conferencing in London, Dean (CVM Managing Director) and I were heading back on the Northern Line to our hotel, when Dean spotted a woman being forced aggressively against a wall by a man. Our train was in the station with the doors open. It looked like it was going […]
I was present at the birth of both of my daughters. It was of course an amazing experience and far more exhilarating then the gas and air that I sampled earlier in the labours. (Just checking it was safe of course, much like Nehemiah and the King’s wine). When both of them were born, I […]
Nuts, a basically pornographic magazine has seen its circulation fall by 22.5%. Zoo has fallen by 32.1% and FHM by 19.2%. Good riddance. You’re going down fast and I couldn’t be happier. I’m sick and tired of seeing these “things” on the shelves of our newsagents. I can feel the anger rising up every time […]

As you may know, I have two daughters Emily and Annie. When Karen was pregnant we spent months thinking about what we would call them – obviously there were a few names we had to avoid with Beech as a surname! (Please don’t email in with suggestions such as “Sandy”!) Jesus’ parents didn’t have to […]
A few weeks ago the CVM team and I headed off for another nights stay at a hotel somewhere in the UK, ahead of a regional mens conference we were putting on. Pitching up at the hotel my wife (and PA) had booked for us, we found it difficult to find the reception but eventually […]
In 2003, Evangelicals Now published some research that suggested that in terms of seeing whole households come to faith, the following could be statistically proven. Lead a child to Jesus and 3.5% of the time the whole family will come to Christ Lead a mother to Jesus and 17% of the time the whole family […]
(Originally published at carlbeech.com) I promised in the opening paragraphs of my recent Blog Post “real men ain’t wimps” that I would clarify my comments in more detail over the next few months. What I’ve therefore decided to do is work through each point one by one. First up is the whole issue of what we […]
