The work goes on!

You may have been wondering if the redevelopment has ground to a halt! Well the answer to this question is most definitely not ... Whereas the updates did slow for a while ... Sorry!

But for those who have been following the redevelopment, and especially those who have any familiarity with the house, you will be interested to see the latest pictures.

The freshly completed rooms are already in use as seminar rooms, with one as a prayer room! The last residents to move into the new buildings have vacated rooms that are now in the process of being gutted before awaiting final painting.

The Lord, as always, has been so faithful in His provision of skilled workers to compliment the team here, and so progress has continued apace. However, we don't presume so please continue to pray that the Lord would release His abundant provision on us for this season ... All that we need not only to do the task at hand, but also that we might be in a position to bless others!

Recently I was reading the following verses in Psalm 112:1 'Praise the Lord, Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in His commands.'

It is one thing to know the mind of the Lord, and another to commit oneself wholeheartedly to the fulfilment of it, but the next step ... the place of fullest liberty and blessing, is to find great delight in our service.

Please pray that, as a fellowship, we would all break through to that place and remain there even if the work seems boring, mundane or difficult.

Labels

Who are you? I have never been a great fan of labels when it comes to describing members of the body of Christ. eg. he is anglican, she is Baptist, they are Charismatic, etc. etc. I remember once causing a man to become increasingly hot under the collar when he asked me who I was? To which I replied I was a disciple (follower) of Jesus. He was meaning which Church did I attend (presumably so he could classify me and decide whether I was bona fide or not) and my answer did not bring him peace, but I refused to go any further.  Why? Because, as I said, I am not a great fan of labels, but also because for me there is a very important distinction between primarily identifying myself with Jesus and identifying myself with Church. Of course, I recognise that by becoming a follower of Jesus I become part of the body of Christ, but that can be very distinct from being a member of a Church. To me this is the crucial difference between vibrant faith and dusty religion.  ...

Homes I have lived in #3

This year I am celebrating my silver wedding anniversary ... Just for something to do I have begun to sketch all the houses we have lived in during that time. So here is house number #3 On our return to the UK we were faced with the question that faces all people in transition, what next? For us, we were encouraged by our friends to investigate further training and opted to spend a year with Kerygma ministries. We joined with a group of some 20 other people from various different cultures and backgrounds to join the ministry led by Dr Bob Gordon, based at Drayton Hall near Norwich. We spent one year here, between September 1993 and July 1994.   Significant events that took place here included: Suffered reverse culture shock, as I grappled with the transition from life in a mudhut in Africa to life in the UK in a Manor House! (Struggled with the amount of money being spent on a sign that was being placed outside ...

Sacred Pathways: Discover your Soul's Path to God - Gary Thomas  When you became a christian did you look around other people's lives and seek to model some of their spiritual disciplines? Did you find that somehow they didn't work for you in quite the same way as they seemed to work for them? Did this lead you to a place of discouragement? Did you think that, somehow, the things that bring such life to other people but don't bring life to you must mean that there is something wrong with you? Or that maybe God doesn't love you as much as He loved those people whom you sought to emulate? These are very real questions that all c hristians probably grapple with at some point. As we grow and mature in Christ we eventually reach a place of liberty where we realise that we are unique and therefore we shouldn't be surprised when our Father deals uniquely with us - and the way we most easily 'connect' to Him is also unique. Or perhaps we find over time th...
