    Sometimes throughout history God has had to break us in order to deal with our sin, not in anger but with true justice and love. We die to the old way of life in order to live for Christ.

     | 6,752 views

    In Genesis 11 we have the family tree of Shem, but only 3 women are mentioned by name - very Chauvinistic to our modern way of thinking!

I carried on the name of Cochrane when I had a son. My son's wife is about to have a son. This means that ...read more

     | 4,035 views

    Piety should not be on public display; this doesn't mean that Christianity should be practiced in private.

    An old joke says, people would be equally shocked if they saw Christianity doubted or saw it practiced. Of course nowadays lots more people openly doubt Christianity than they used to, but I don’t think many more people openly practice Christianity than they used to. At least not in this ...read more
