Sometimes as a bit of a break I have to read a biography. I am privileged to be able to spend much of my time researching theology but every now and again I need to drop the intense stuff and read a tale of the sort of courage and against-all-odds endeavour that inspires me. I […]
It’s too simple, any fool can understand. It’s only meant for fools – who realise That it’s to stop, see and take the stand Of a fool’s what starts the walk of the wise. It’s too deep, too off-the-wall for any mind To completely grasp the how and why – The central tangle I need […]
Ian Bartlett kicks off his first blog on the theme of gambling and shares from his experiences about the danger it can be to us. Growing up I never went to church and my parents were not Christians, My fathers church was the pub and the Bookmakers and like father like son I was to […]
Inspired by the exposed, volcanic coast of western Lanzarote, at La Santa, where CVM holds its annual sports outreach week every March. Read 2 Peter 3 v 8. But do not forget this one thing, dear friends. With the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day […]

This was what we silently prayed as ten of us set out on 14th October 2013 to climb Mt Kilimanjaro; the […]
As someone who goes to church I’m probably not meant to say this, but I absolutely love the film 300. A few men standing up and resisting an enemy they have no hope of defeating so that their family and friends remain safe. Yes a comedy film is good from time to time. Sometimes sci-fi […]

Read Matthew Ch. 2 v 16-18. Narrator. A rival to the throne Somewhere unseen, Unknown.
