    Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?

    Thus says the Lord: Shout for all you are worth, raise your voice like a trumpet. Proclaim their faults to my people, their sins to the House of Jacob. They seek me day after day, they long to know my ways, like a nation that wants to act with integrity and not ignore the law of its...

    Are we ghosts walking in a ghostly world?

    In is book The Great Divorce C S Lewis depicted people in this world as walking ghosts in a ghostly world where nothing was solid and real. He depicted the foothills of heaven as solid and real so much so that for the ghosts of this world heaven was full of sharp painful things. The grass in...

    Human life

    What's the value of a human life? Our film makers think it is very great indeed. The film The Martian posits spending billions to save one man. The motives for saving him are mixed - publicity, intrinsic value, politics - but they all have one thing in common; that a human being matters. So how...

    Voting early

    Voting early was a civilised experience. All I needed to do it go to a polling place for early votes, give my name and address, mark the ballot papers while sitting in a comfy seat and then seal them in an envelope before a polling official - as witness that the envelope contains ballot papers...

    Arithmetic - a sexist enterprise

    Arithmetic - a sexist enterprise ... It's hard to believe it but it appears that subtracting one is sexist. Apparently adding one is not. It's a wonder of technology! :smirk:

    There is always hope

    To the penitent God provides a way back, he encourages those who are losing hope and has chosen for them the lot of truth. Return to him and give up sin, pray to the LORD and make your offenses few. Turn again to the Most High and away from your sin, hate intensely what he loathes, and know the...

    You cannot be the slave both of God and of money

    Jesus said to his disciples: ‘No one can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or treat the first with respect and the second with scorn. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money. ‘That is why I am telling you not to worry about your life and...

    stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God

    People must think of us as Christ’s servants, stewards entrusted with the mysteries of God. What is expected of stewards is that each one should be found worthy of his trust. Not that it makes the slightest difference to me whether you, or indeed any human tribunal, find me worthy or not. I will...

    I will never forget you

    Zion was saying, ‘The Lord has abandoned me, the Lord has forgotten me.’ Does a woman forget her baby at the breast, or fail to cherish the son of her womb? Yet even if these forget, I will never forget you. God remember his people even when his people forget him. Hang on. There is always hope.

    The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him.

    The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him. As a father has compassion on his sons, the Lord has pity on those who fear him; for he knows of what we are made, he remembers that we are dust. The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him. As for man, his days are like...

    do not stop them

    People were bringing little children to Jesus, for him to touch them. The disciples turned them away, but when Jesus saw this he was indignant and said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. I tell you solemnly...

    making him master over beasts and birds

    The Lord fashioned man from the earth, to consign him back to it. He gave them so many days, determined time, he gave them authority over everything on earth. He clothed them with strength like his own, and made them in his own image. He filled all living things with dread of man, making...

    We are on a mission

    We are on a mission ‘We do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord’ 2Cor 4:5. This is at the heart of who we are. We bear witness to God ‘who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ’ 2Cor 4:6. We say ‘we’ rather...

    GOOD PEOPLE ONLY: Metaphor in holy scripture.

    When Jesus said "I am the way" was that a metaphor? What about "I am the Truth"? What about "I am the Life"? How about "this is my body"? and how about "this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins"? How many sayings of Jesus are you willing to...

    Departed family and dear friends

    Do you think often of your departed family members who died either recently or a long time ago and your dear friends too? I do. I pray for them too. My parents died some time ago. A dear friend of many years died three or so years ago. I miss them. I pray for them. I hope that they pray for me too.

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord?

    Why can't the bread & wine be the body & blood of the Lord? Some appear to teach that the bread and wine of the holy Eucharist is just bread and wine (for many grape juice rather than wine) but why can't it be what Jesus said it is; namely that it is, as Jesus said, "my body" and as he also...
