Friday 2nd June, 2023 If the message of the bible could be summarised in one word that word would be love. God’s love for us, and God’s desire for us to be in loving harmonious relationship with both God and one another is woven throughout the entirety of the bible: From Genesis that tells us …
22nd June, 2022 I was always brought up to believe that God doesn’t have any gender, that ‘He’ is neither male nor female.[The same Christains who say that God has no gender though usually get their knickers in an especially tight knot if you refer to God as “she” or “they” or anything other than …
Monday 22nd May, 2023 If you’re a Christian and you’re following the example of Jesus then yes, yes you do. Moreover you should want to.

Because this verse does not stand in isolation from the rest of the passage, if love is kind and humble, if …
Monday 20th March, 2023 I designed my future house when I was about seven years old. I say house, mansion is a more appropriate word; I planned to be rich. Naturally my house had two study rooms, one for me and one for my husband, and enough bedrooms for each of the five children to …
25th January 2022. John answered, “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” (Luke 3:11)I wonder sometimes what the church would look like if it took the same attitude to money as it does to sex.Just before the pandemic the House …
16th July 2021 God designed and created our bodies.God created all those funny shaped noses and big ears and wobbly bellies and weird shaped feet that smell a bit funny.God designed me to be four foot ten (and a half) maybe they designed you to be six foot seven.God probably likes that awful red flush …
Thursday 15th December 2022 I’ve already written extensively on the links between a non-LGBTQ+ understanding of our faith and a theology that at best minimises rape. LGBTQ+ people have become the Christian equivalent of Godwin’s law: Whilst secular abusers say “at least I’m not Hitler” Straight Christian wrongdoers will justify their abusive behaviour with “at …
