Not Just Saved – SENT!

Yesterday I had the privilege again of speaking to homeless people in Manchester City centre at Barnabus at one of their regular outreach gatherings. While I was getting ready someone hammered on the door because another homeless man had been run over by a taxi driver right outside! I went out to see blood pouring from the guy’s head and a huge lump appearing on his leg as he couldn’t move. I went into First Aider mode and spoke to the emergency services to help as best I could. There were people all round shouting angrily at the driver which may have been understandable but wasn’t helping anyone much.

How To Avoid Winning At The Wrong Game -Put First Things F.I.R.S.T.

I know it’s true because I have seen it happen so many times I had to pinch myself that I wasn’t dreaming when it happened!

Beyond Balance: Embracing God’s Priority, Plan and Purpose Today

Balance, by definition, means finding an equilibrium between competing forces. It assumes life should be a delicate juggling act where everything—work, family, ministry, personal time—exists in perfect harmony.
But life doesn’t work that way – especially if you are carrying a cross (Mark 8:34). Aiming at balance is an impossible standard that leaves you frustrated and exhausted.
Can you think of one person in Scripture who lived a “balanced” life?

Unlocking The Mystery Of Dreams: A Biblical Guide To Interpretation

The Bible teaches that God communicates in many ways, including dreams:

“For God does speak—now one way, now another—though no one perceives it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people… He may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride.” (Job 33:14-17)

In a world where people seek meaning for life through astrology, psychics, and new-age philosophies, dreams remain a direct line from heaven—if we learn to interpret them biblically.
