Our local church Cornerstone, during the ‘Lock-down’ gave away some books. One of these is a book that had a foundational impact on me when I was very young. I am just now reading it again, and I can see why it was such a valuable book. Because it was written over 120 years ago […]
I am noticing an alarming trend, that the world post-lockdown is looking increasingly polarised, self-centred and unjust.

It seems the whole world is going mad right now: our hearts do go out to those who have lost loved ones; however it is clear from the scriptures that fear is never the right response. David knew what it was to live under the threat of death and the unknown, yet time and again […]
