Day 163: Even to the Gentiles

February 2, 2021

Acts 10:23b-11:18 (AD 44) Again we have complementary descriptions of what becoming a Christians looks like: God “accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right” (10:35) “All the prophets testify about [Jesus] that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name” (10:43) “even to Gentiles … More Day 163: Even to the Gentiles

Day 162: Living for God for People

January 27, 2021

Acts 10:1-23a (AD 42) Verse two is not a comprehensive statement of what it means to be a good Christian, but neither is it incidental. The Roman Centurion Cornelius was a “devout and God-fearing” man (not just him, but also his family). Furthermore, “he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly” … More Day 162: Living for God for People

Day 144: Evangelising Murderers

November 28, 2020

Acts 2:14-41 (spring AD 30) I can’t off-hand think of a bolder or more potentially self-destructive way to conclude an evangelistic sermon than by telling everyone that they killed God. But that’s what Peter did. He was in front of at least 3,000 people, possibly many thousands, preaching from the Old Testament to prove that … More Day 144: Evangelising Murderers

Day 116: You and God: Relationship or Lifestyle?

September 17, 2020

John 14:1-14 (spring AD 30, Thursday evening of Passion Week) As Jesus spoke the words, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me” (v.1) he knew that he was minutes from arrest and hours from death. His primary concern was for the welfare of his disciples, even as … More Day 116: You and God: Relationship or Lifestyle?

A Weight off My Mind

A Weight off My Mind

“Hi! Good to see you again! It’s been a while!”, said the gym staff member. “What have you been doing?” “Eating, mainly” It’s tough to encapsulate a year’s worth of non-gym attendance into a single constructive sentence, but as I fast-rewound 2016 that was the best I could come up with. She looked at me […]

I won’t be going to work tomorrow

It’s a day late, but I thought I’d try and help Cubs fans who regard going back to work so soon after their World Series triumph as an unreasonable intrusion into their celebrations. Besides, any business in Chicago that doesn’t shut down during the parade is just BEGGING for you to send them a letter […]

Dutch Pea Soup

Dutch Pea Soup

My Mum does a great Dutch pea soup. It’s thick to the point of chewy and is filled with innumerable ingredients, most of which you could never prove were in there because they’ve been cooked into a merger. It has a sneaky heat about it…Which brings me more neatly than you’d think to the 2015 Cayman Islands Half-Marathon.

People-watching in NYC

People-watching in NYC

German guy: “What’s happening?”

Me: “Maybe the apocalypse”

American (to his German friend): “Ugh…he’s European as well [as you]…British…”.

NYC Marathon Part 8: After the Aftermath – 26.2 Points

NYC Marathon Part 8: After the Aftermath – 26.2 Points

For about an hour after the marathon I was wondering whether perhaps running marathons was – for me – a bad idea. I recalled the skinny guy in the med tent telling a medic that this was his first and he wasn’t sure he was cut out for this. Well if he’s not cut out […]
