Belong or Believe?
Why is it that we belong?
There is a tension often in Christian communities – the tension of wanting more and more people to feel comfortable and welcome so that they may enjoy a sense of belonging to a body which likes to be together. Yet on the other hand, being a people who believe and respond to the Word of God – when at times that Word challenges, or confronts, or asks something of the person which is not that comfortable.
Which comes first? Belonging or Belief?
A Time to Act and Make a Difference
STOP PRESS – URGENT!
I would be surprised if you were not aware of the persecution that many Syrian and Iraqi refugees have experienced at the hands of ISIS. I would be even more surprised if you didn’t know about the persecution that Christians especially are suffering.
We can act – and the time is now.

A Thankful Thanks
It is a helpful to stop every so often and think about what God has been doing around us and for us. There is much to celebrate. Yet, I think I am often thankfully challenged! In other words, I often fail to be thankful for much.
Question: ‘What do you think is the biggest misconception unbelievers have about Jesus?’
How would you answer ?
Humbly, I am not sure I am the one to determine what the biggest misconception may be, but let me offer this thought. I wonder if a key misconception that unbelievers have about Jesus is that he is dead!

Standing on the safe side of Salvation!
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where some obstacle gets in your way? Where your desire to get from one place to another is blocked by factors you find too hard to overcome. Normally this is not too great an issue. Just give up, or slowly find another way around the issue.
Increase the temperature. Imagine a life and death situation. A situation where the obstacle just has to be overcome because if not, you lose your life! The urgency will force you to take risks that you would not normally take.
Friends, I wonder whether we need to increase the temperature.
