First of all I would like to thank Lady Gaga for the title of this blog. As a result you may be reading this with a deal of trepidation as to what might be coming next. Some of you might already know what I am about to reveal about myself, either because I told you […]
Have you told God lately that you love Him? At our Men’s Breakfast recently we started talking about ‘strange times’ and how some of us were not feeling very spiritual (in the absence of church and communion). Others were reviewing their values/priorities (i.e. family as top priority). It was suggested that our current situation could be a prolonged […]
Christianity is not a playground but a battleground! When Elijah came back from his victory on Mount Carmel he was exhausted with the struggle with Jezebel and others. He collapsed underneath the Juniper tree and experienced what Winston Churchill called – ‘The Black Dog’. Today, all around our country, people are feeling exhausted with the […]

Some years ago I was reading an evangelistic magazine in America when an advert from an evangelist caught my eye. He boasted that if he was invited to preach at any church he guaranteed that at least one hundred people would be saved! Probably one of the greatest evangelists that ever walked this earth was […]
Our son rang me recently to say he had been greatly moved to find out more about his great grandfather who served in the Royal Lancaster Regiment in the first world war and had been praised for gallant and distinguished service by the Secretary of State for war – Winston Churchill. He had signed up […]
During this time of lock down we are having to remember that waiting on the Lord is part of the Christian’s life experience. It’s not easy for active mission focused men to be patient but as David said in one of his many times of struggle “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and […]
God’s grace and our character Through this series of blog posts we’ve explored something of the seven deadly sins, what they can do to us, what they might look like in everyday life, where the world might reflect or even celebrate them, and some encouragements from the Bible as we deal with them. For there […]
