One of the joys – and difficulties – of having a large team is sometimes a few weeks can elapse between preaching. During February this year, for various reasons, I’m preaching almost every Sunday though. This coming Sunday, our text is 1 Thessalonians 4 and here it is as a Wordle: Paul seems to turn …

An Open Invitation to Mark Driscoll
“Pastor” Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Church (no, not that one, the other Mars Hill) has commented on his perception of the quality of preaching in the church in the UK. He’s done so in an interview for Christianity magazine conducted by someone from Premier Radio. To help people get up to speed on this, …

Taste and see that multiculturalism is good
Tonight, in what I think is a particularly British act, the last of this year’s turkey will be turned into a curry. What do I mean by that? The UK has, perhaps more than any other nation, a rich heritage of different cultures from across the globe – and the cuisines that come with them. …

Fernando Torres – ha ha ha!
In 2011, Fernando Torres spent one month at Liverpool and eleven months at Soulless Chelsea. At Liverpool, he scored four league goals in 2011. At Soulless Chelsea, he scored three league goals in 2011. Yes, I am laughing.

Make your church website suck less
Earlier today, I commented on Twitter that a lot of church websites “make me want to cry“. This spawned a number of suggestions as to why it might be. The simple answer of course is that it’s because so many church websites are just very bad indeed. Now, I’m not a definitive expert on how …

Appearances can be deceptive
When people say to me, “You don’t look like a vicar”, two things happen: I take it as a compliment. I point out that I do because I am one and this is what I look like – QED. So, do I look like a vicar?

Sorry Facebook, you crossed the line
I posted a photo on Facebook today that was only visible to a selected group of friends. When one of those friends commented, a friend of theirs with whom I am not “friends” commented, that friend (and presumably all of said person’s friends) was able to see the photo. Sorry, Facebook. Line crossed. If you …

Impromptu Sermon: All “isms” are defeated in Jesus
Below is a transcript of my impromptu sermon at yesterday’s FlashEvensong outside St Paul’s. The readings were 2 Kings 9.1-16 and Acts 27.1-26. You can hear the audio of the whole FlashEvensong here. The sermon begins at 28.04 and lasts just under three minutes. “Keep your courage, men” said Paul (Whay!). Keep up your courage …
