The Easter weekend is the most important point in history. Each year we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. This moment in history changed the possibilities for all humanity. It gave all of us the opportunity to have the relationship with God that He has always wanted for us, and with us. To understand […]
In 1999 I stood by the Millennium wheel in London at 23:59 with my girlfriend and the masses around us; I stood, ready for the world to end. The Millennium bug was just seconds away and I was poised to watch it all come tumbling down. What happened was at 12:01am, like many others, I […]
Hiraeth (Here-eyeth) is one of those words in Welsh that doesn’t have a specific equivalent translation into English. The nearest you can get is ‘Longing for one’s home’ and frankly ‘Home-sickness’ really doesn’t come up to scratch.

It has been becoming more and more obvious to me that we are currently standing at a crossroads. We are living in very turbulent times and how we react right now is probably more important than we might think. When I read my Bible, and particularly some of the New Testament bits, I am so […]
We seem to live in a world where everyone is distracted in some way shape or form. How many of us have laughed at seeing a person walk into something whilst absorbed by their phone screen – the irony being that we have more than likely viewed it on our phone screen! There is also […]
The kingdom I’m referring to is the Kingdom of God both here on earth and in the heavens above. The Kingdom being God’s domain upheld by Jesus Christ through his church.
