Bit personal this time, but I guess most people reading this blog are interested in my personal journey… 10.  I got to hear Andrew Wommack share his views on why universalism and preterism are wrong, and it was exceptionally powerful.  These ideas are making massive inroads in the UK and messing up churches, and itContinue reading “10 Reasons I Am Grateful for my trip to America”

Fascination in end times seems to be at an all time high.  I would say I am being asked more questions about end times than anything. Yet with all the interest, there is a lot of nonsense out there.  Some people are falling for date setting, for signs in the heaven that have nothing toContinue reading “End Times!”

The world needs your gift, your wisdom, your unique point of view.  Keep going, keep believing.

I make no apologies for everything in this list being challenging.  You need to be challenged about how you handle money, or you will never walk in your dreams.  It’s that simple. If you are not saving, you hate your future self. If you don’t tithe, you don’t believe God is good.  Deep down youContinue reading “10 Tough Truths About Money”

Sometimes I watch people make a foolish decision and I think “yup, that could be me, I have definitely been that dumb before”.  Other times I was people make a decision and I just don’t understand.  I don’t grasp how they got to that point or how their priorities could be so far from whatContinue reading “7 People I Can’t Get My Head Around”

This is the most important conference we as a church have ever put on.  I say that without any sense of exaggeration or hype.  We have gathered our own leaders and preachers and pastors and evangelists.  There are church networks ten-twenty-one hundred times the size of ours who could not gather such a gifted andContinue reading “Heal the Nations 2015”

One of the things that happens a lot is that people as Christians are told “judge not”.  It’s like a mantra.  The whole world has embraced it now – we must not judge. Now if you take that to logical extremes it’s absurd!  There are two pieces of meat, one is rotten and smells, theContinue reading “Jurisdiction 2: To Judge or Not To Judge”

5.  Captain Complainer No, church this Sunday is not going to be perfect.  Well done, you worked it out!  Imperfect people are going to come together in an imperfect manner, with an imperfect system, rub up against each other, and be imperfect.  If you come to church looking for something to complain about then IContinue reading “5 People Not To Be This Sunday in Church”

During our leadership conference last weekend, Greg Mohr pointed out that you cannot believe for something that is outside of your grace.  If it isn’t in your destiny, it isn’t going to be something you can believe for (of course, everything in redemption is freely ours for all of us).  You can only believe forContinue reading “Jurisdiction 1: Mind Your Own Business”

And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. That’s Acts 4.33 above.  The early church had not just grace but great grace, with the Greek word for grace being megas, it would not be wrong to declare that theContinue reading “Great Grace!”
