Good News of Great Joy
When the angel spoke to the Shepherds at the first Christmas, the glory of the Lord shone and the Shepherds heard this: “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.” When we’ve heard or seen something often enough, we tend to lose the wonder and awe of it. Recently…

“Consecrate yourselves”
Recently on a Sunday morning I was talking about the ‘Life of Faith’ of Abel, and I started with a [true] story of a Pastor in the US gambling town of Reno. He was asked in a conference ‘What has being a Pastor in Reno to do with gambling?’. His reply was shocking and unexpected…
