    A short talk for the start of the busy Advent season. This talk uses one of may favourite stories to encourage people to rest, stop, slow down in the midst of a busy time to rest.

    Jesus said, “Come with me … to a quiet place and get some rest” (Mark 6:31). One of my favourite stories is about the world wood chopping competition. Now the champion was a bit older than he used to be – well, who isn’t – but he was still the champion. Everyone ...read more

     | 3,025 views

    Who was it exactly that was placed into the manger that first Christmas morning? Was it God but less than God or fully God? Was He fully human or only veiled in flesh? Like the Trinity the Incarnation boggles the limited human mind. Glory to God!

    The birth of Jesus is a tiny part of the plan of salvation and yet it is a gigantic step in that it accomplishes the incarnation. Have we gotten the priorities reversed in the church as well as in society?
