The Foolishness of the Gospel

Jesus famously taught that if we seek, we shall find. Those who wish to find favour with God and live a godly life will at some point encounter the teachings of the Bible and be forced to consider the Christian worldview, and whether to embrace or reject the radical gospel of salvation we find in… Continue reading

Must I Love My Enemies?

You also hear him being abusive towards his son, and witness him dealing with every life circumstance with… Continue reading

An English Preacher

A few days ago I was reading through some of the latest posts from blogs I follow and came across a lovely poem by a man named Leonard Ravenhill.
