    Few things are shared in by more human beings than worship. Worship is something nearly everybody does, in one way or another. Now I didn’t say that everybody goes to church. Obviously not. Not even half of the American population attends any kind of worship on a regular basis. The Gallup Poll ...read more

This was certainly the case with the prophet ...read more

    Paul is adamant that the preaching of the Cross is central to the Gospel and what is should mean to believers.

    There’s a striking phrase in St Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (6:14). When we come across that sort of statement it can be helpful to ask the question, “Why did Paul write like that?” To ask ourselves, “Why the ...read more
