Hi guys, Just received a text from a friend who say that Open Doors are requesting prayer urgently regarding Christians in Iraq about to be beheaded. Seems this is about to get much worse. There are even threats to people in the UK. Strength needed.

I have been very fortunate to have travelled to some really cool places in my life time. In 2004, I visited Microsoft's Campus at Redmond, WA, as well as Electronic Arts in Burnaby, near Vancouver. Pardon the namedrop, but a friend of mine named Jeff Boettcher (who is a Christian) was the guy...

OK, so there I was chatting to God about my singleness and asking questions of Him...(Yes, I'm single. Not a commercial, just a FACT hehe). Well recently I've been frustrated about my ability to fall for someone, and my ability to put my feelings out there, only for them not to be reciprocated...

Ever fallen for someone online? This one's for you... You're listening to Late Night Love...This one's for all you romantics out there.... You see a smile, a laugh a song; but there's something wrong beneath the waves, a turbulent undercurrent of an artistic temperament. A deep frustration...

This poem looks at the empowerment of people through sites like CC... Someone wants to hug you there’s no right or wrong right now. A tender embrace, as reason gives way I just wanted to say you mean the world to me I love you Hold me close No geographic location; no fixed abode your life...

There’s a hole in my heart, as big as the Sun. That can only be filled, when the battle is won. Come to me Lord… Take this broken heart, heal it for me. I can’t fix it alone…. It’s too heavy… Too heavy a burden for any one to carry, but You alone. Heal my heart, of the hurt that lies deep...

I warn you, this gets depressing, but so were the psalms hehe........ Staring into a black hole with only my faith for company. Holding on tight to the knowledge of One who promises me something better. Beyond the four walls of this dull existence. Time to hang in there. I leave the light on...

Anybody else get nervous around scaffolding? I do. It unnerves me. Especially walking under it. I keep thinking it's going to fall on me, or someone will drop something from it by accident. However, scaffolding is often a sign of growth. Around the corner from my house, new student blocks are...

This poem laments society's pre-occupation with entertainment, which brainwashes it into submission. The power of things, pulling like a tractor beam upon the heart, start to think people, start to rise up and take back your thoughts, your independent hearts, before it’s too late. Wait a minute...

From the bottom of a broken heart Broken hearted baby face, always doing the right thing, struggling to breathe above the surface, sometimes taking in water, like those days I learned to swim, Look to Him, who will rescue.

Decided to look at the idea of taking both Jesus and our natural food for granted, especially being low on money, and realising how much I am grateful for finding £1 coins in my pocket... Give us this day our daily bread, in need or well-fed. satisfy us with the clothes we wear, not plaited...

It's always amazing how God operates through people, isn't it? My last few blogs, I have been writing about the idea of applying the principles of Jesus' earthly incarnation to the realm of mission, but at the weekend, I felt some of this was confirmed at a conference I attended in Bristol...

In all the excitement over the election of a new Pope at the Vatican, it is also important to remember that the Anglican Communion (The Church of England and the Episcopal Church etc.), also has a new leader, Justin Welby. Although pretty establishment in his school background (he attended the...

Interesting choice for the New Pope. Pope Francis I. Latin American, evangelistic man, belonging to the Jesuit order. Leading on social justice? Any thoughts?

Just as the bronze snake was lifted up in the wilderness, so Jesus was lifted up to cure us from the poison of sin. They became impatient with God. In otehr words, self-sufficient. The same sin as Adam and Eve. "Did God say?" In Genesis 3 Numbers John 3

In my last blog (http://christianchat.com/blogs/jeremy1981/409-incarnation-getting-our- hands-dirty.html), I wrote about the idea of the Church taking the example of Christ and becoming 'Incarnational', and dwelling among the people, in order to change society. Today, I want to look at the idea...

One of the biggest criticisms of the UK government at the moment, is that it is filled with millionaires who don't understand the needs of ordinary working (or non-working) people. In fact, there are millionaires on both sides, but it goes to show that the divide between the rich and poor goes...

A psalm for those who feel condemned for taking medication. Dark nights of the soul, pierced by an artificial smile. Some say it's witchcraft, haven't met her in a while. Heavy clouds that hang around my soul, like wet laundry on a rainy day. Claustrophic fears, not far away from tears now...

History, it is often said, is written by the Victor. Contrary to popular artistic interpretations of the heavens, found in paintings of the Renaissance, or on Christmas cards, the spiritual realm is a palce of war. Having done all to stand

From the lips and mouths of babes… MODERN SQUALOR Little children line our city’s streets, disfigured, dismembered, disempowered. Without a voice to stop the decay no volume to chase the clouds away. Who will fight for them in their anguish? Who will bring justice down upon the heads of those...
