    When we die we will all come under judgement - but who will do the judging?

    Do you remember Perry Mason? Perry Mason used to be one of my favourite TV programmes. I used to watch it avidly every week until it became too predictable, and I became bored. Perry Mason was a courtroom lawyer - each week he would be faced with an open and shut case. A murder ...read more

The woman who has recently gone through a divorce to Ted Turner, sold more exercise videos than Bill Gates has sold Windows, and who has been ...read more

    The wonderful thing about being made God’s children is that he gives us his Spirit to enable us to be like him, and that likeness is shown most clearly in our love for others. And so, as we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in u

    I always get edgy when I hear someone make a definitive statement about God. There are so many aspects to God that any single statement always feels a bit deficient. So, for example, when someone says God is all-powerful, I find myself waiting for them to add that he’s also all-knowing, and ...read more
