Must I Love My Enemies?

Envisage this scenario: You’re a Christian and your next-door neighbour is keeping you awake playing oppressively loud music in the middle of the night every night despite your repeated attempts to ask him to let you sleep. You also hear him being abusive towards his son, and witness him dealing with every life circumstance with… Continue reading

A Brief Look at Textual Criticism

I’m currently doing some research into the issues surrounding the reliability of the Bible.

An English Preacher

‘Unlocking the Bible’ by David Pawson (book review)

I came across David Pawson via a friend; the same person who prayed for me to be baptised in the Holy Spirit a few months ago. When I first saw his copy of Unlocking the Bible I thought ‘What on Earth is that?’, such was the hugeness of the volume and the unfamiliarity of the… Continue reading
