Water and Agriculture (part one): Gardening God’s Way [Mike Writes]

Why do we struggle to care for the world that provides for much of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being?…Much of Western society might view the bible as outdated and irrelevant, but it actually presents a God who loves the entirety of His creation and offers enduring guidance about how humans should relate to the natural world. Be convinced there is perspective-shifting, darkness-dispersing, despair-relieving wisdom in Scripture, and we would do well to consult it before turning elsewhere.

Reflections from the Lausanne Conference

I was encouraged by all the Lord is doing and stirred by the realisation that He still has so much more for His beautiful, glorious church. We still have a vast inheritance in Christ to fully embrace, and through sharing the gospel, we are called to lead the ransomed from every nation into their glorious inheritance in Him.

Church For The Broken World: The Call To Christian Influence [Mike Writes]

“Evangelicals are seen as marginal, irrelevant, and bigoted. Yet we are called to serve people, even if they don’t like us.” With more and more change on the horizon, often for the worse, the Church must rise up and respond.

‘Who’s in charge around here?' [Mike Writes]

The last book of the Bible, a vivid vision of the dynamics of the heavenly realms given to the Apostle John, is not an easy read! It is, however, worthy of our perseverance.

For the Christ follower, a much grander narrative now fills our horizon than simply achieving temporary things for ourselves and then dying.

Climate Maps, 2024 and the decade ahead! [Mike Writes]

How does the Lord want us to proceed should Christ not return within that time? What will the Relational Mission ‘Map’ look like in 2034?

Gender Quality: An extract from the new book by Stef Liston

“Naked and unashamed.” The picture painted of the first man and woman is one of deeply harmonious beauty. Now we have gender wars, gender inequality and gender confusion. Gender Quality, a new book by Stef Liston, explores two quite different perspectives on the matter of what God had in mind when making us as he did. Both need to be heard; maybe it’s only in the hearing of both that we can find the unity and diversity that is the mark of so much spiritual truth. Prepare to think deeply. Prepare to listen carefully. Prepare to ponder purposefully.

Gender Quality: A new book from Stef Liston

The debate surrounding the subject of gender is very ‘live’ right now. It’s therefore increasingly important to hold our beliefs up to the light of Scripture and examine the biblical foundations that inform our perspective.
