I got a new computer a couple of weeks back and with it I bought X-Plane. X-Plane is a very good flight simulator. Ever since I got it I have been trying to find time to sit down and practice my flying skills. For someone who has a passing interest in flying but will never [...]

Firstly, I must apologise to my regular readers. My less than regular posting schedule over the last week and a half has been due to starting work again and struggling to maintain my blogging schedule amongst competing demands. Hopefully it will begin to sort itself out. As I mentioned in a previous post I have [...]

It is a great book (so far) looking at how the role of Officership has changed over the history of the Salvation Army.

I am going to review the book chapter by chapter. My focus is to highlight some of the questions and ideas that Cobb raises that resonate with me. [...]

Did you know that the word translated as ‘church’ in the New Testament, ekklesia, literally means a group of people? It had no religious connotations and was a common word used in society for any group of people that met together. Many Christians have begun to question the role and function of the church in [...]
