Truth without love is brutal; love without truth is sentimental.

Christians are not today's people; we are tomorrow's people living in today.

This week sees the end of my tenure as Principal of School of the Word. Yesterday was our last class, and on Saturday we will hold our Graduation Ceremony. I have been thinking back over the last six years and of all those who have come and gone during that time. Mostly my memories are fond ones, tinged only by thoughts of the tiny few who at this moment of time, are not walking with God as they should. I am immensely proud of those who have gone on to greater and greater things in God since their year at the School. To have played even a small part in their destiny is hugely satisfying.

At times like this I often think of a quote from that great man of God, Arthur Wallis:

If you would make the greatest success of your life, try to discover what God is doing in your time, and fling yourself into the accomplishment of His purpose and will.

That's my prayer for all 117 men and women who have passed through the doors of School of the Word; and for all who will pass through in the future.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose – until you lose.

This comment was left by Tom Miller in Beijing on the Times website, following an article on the continued decline of the traditional 'church' in the UK (for which I am grateful!).It featured in the News Review last Sunday.

I am an atheist, but still culturally Christian and I'll ensure that my son grows up knowing the Bible stories: though I hope to God he never finds faith.

Your new birth launched you into a life of the supernatural.

Augustine on the eternity of God

“You precede all things past, because of your ever-present eternity; and you surpass all future because they are future and when they come they shall be past; ‘But you are the same and your years fail not’...Your years are one day; and your day is always Today, because your today does not give place unto tomorrow and neither does it replace yesterday. Your today is Eternity. (From the Confessions of Augustine)

A miracle is just God's way of acting as God.

Thought for the day

The eye of faith is always operating in the realm of where God is.

Living by faith means you're always faced with the impossible.
