We were out in the Peak District today with some friends of ours, visiting a place called Castleton. As we were walking into the centre, we came accross this sign which I thought was very funny:

I thought I would just pass on this prophetic word which Dutch Sheets received earlier this month.
This will be a year of the greatest change the church has experienced in our generation. While preparing to minister in Dallas on January 5, I heard the Holy Spirit very clearly say, “Tell them. . .” I quickly […]
I am reading Leadership Next at the moment by Eddie Gibbs (a definite must read for church leaders by the way) and he passes on six early-warning signs of the degeneration of a movement - identified my Max De Pree - which are very much applicable to the church. He says that teams fail to […]
For some reason I thought that I first started blogging last February, but a closer examination has revealed that it was in fact last January. And so January 11th 2006 was the one year anniversary of my blogging life. I’ve had a couple of blogging breaks between then and now and also moved “house” a […]
Has anyone heard this Tim Hughes song? I love the lyrics, they really strike a chord with me. The words “keep us from just singing, move us into action” are spot on. You can have a listen here if you want to (I don’t know how long the link will work though).

Well Rachel isn’t very well today and so we’ve been in the house all day (we were planning on visiting another church in Sheffield this morning) and have just spent about the last three hours watching last years American Idol! It was interesting! One of the things that really stood out to me listening to […]
Well yesterday was Rachel’s (VOX Blog) graduation after having qualified as a speech and language therapist last October. I’m really proud of her! She’s way more intelligent than me and has done amazingly well in completing a two year, highly intensive masters course. She now works in Rotherham and is making a real, practical difference […]
Last Saturday saw me and Rachel get to spend six hours hanging out with Dean, Tina, and Jason Sharp. It was a really great time and, like Tina said on her blog, it felt like the beginning of a life-long friendship. We enjoyed sharing one another’s stories, and dialoguing about our hopes and dreams. We […]
Rachel and I were talking the other day about the challenge it often is to have meaningful and regular quality time with God through worship, prayer, Bible reading, study, meditation, and the like. Whilst I believe that I can talk with God throughout my day and be aware of His presence all the time, I […]
Well I thought it was about time I update my blog with news of our Christmas and New Year break. It’s been a really good time of catching up with family and friends, though 10 days away from Sheffield felt like a long time and it was great to get back on Monday.
It feels like […]
