    The stage is set. The actors are all in place. Nehemiah has finally come to the moment he’s been working towards as he’s prayed and fasted over the previous days or weeks.

    Looks at Paul's comparison between the Church and the body of Christ.

    How do you feel about your body? Strange question isn’t it? Most of us would rather not think about our bodies and if we do we probably don’t think very complementary things.

Tanks, flak jackets, bulletproof vests – you must have something to protect your heart, ...read more
