    Psalm 23, our text for today, is incredibly famous – maybe one of the best-known Bible passages besides John 3:16. It's written in a way that feels poetic and musical.

    The terrorist attack in Bali came a week before I was to preach on the subject of murder, and a National Day of Mourning was declared for that Sunday. God does work in mysterious ways...

    Over the last few weeks God has been showing me how his timing is always perfect. I became more convinced of this when I realised what sermon I had planned to preach today. In view of the events of the last week today’s passage seems to be the most appropriate in the Bible. The bombing in Bali ...read more
