Book Review: Grace-Based Parenting by Tim Kimmel
Being a parent is one of the most exciting and terrifying experiences of any person’s life. Walking with our children through the ups and downs of life can produce both exhilarating joy and petrifying fear. This is probably what Solomon meant when he said, “A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is […]
Ministry Update – Trips, Events, Preaching, World Cup, Stabbings
Trips – It has been a busy few weeks with a trip to Northern Ireland two weeks ago and then a two-day discipleship conference in Coventry last week. It was good on both trips to spend time with fellow laborers and to make some new friends in the ministry. I particularly enjoyed hearing Bill Hull speak […]
What We Need to Go On
1 Kings 19:7 And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. 1 Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice. […]

The cultural diversity in London and in our church […]
Book Review: The Pastor’s Kid by Barnabas Piper
Even though my two brothers and I are all in the ministry and are all married to pastor’s daughters, we did not grow up in a pastor’s home. Our parents are wonderful committed Christians and have always been very involved in church, but, to some degree, we were spared some of the drama that comes from […]
Ministry Update – Camping Trip, Sunday Service, Visitor from America, Birthday
Camping – This past weekend, a few of the men from the church went up to the Peak district in the middle of England for some camping and Christian fellowship. Men came from several churches across different parts of the country. We really enjoyed the beauty of that area and the opportunity to spend some […]
