This Is What Faith Looks Like in the Middle of Chaos. Hello my friends, I want to start by telling you why I’m sharing this meditation with you. It’s because there are moments in the Christian life when faith doesn’t collapse dramatically, it just gets quietly tired. You’re still believing, still praying, still doing the […]

A Gospel-shaped meditation – Those You Have Given Me.
A Gospel-shaped meditation – Those You Have Given Me. I’ve been sitting with a line Jesus prayed, and it keeps drawing me back, not just emotionally, but theologically. “Thank You, Father, for those You have given me.” – John 17:6, 9, 24. That sentence doesn’t stand on its own. At first glance it sounds gentle. […]
The Lord Is My Rock and Fortress.
The Lord Is My Rock and Fortress. When I read Psalm 18, what strikes me isn’t how beautiful the language is, but how compressed it feels, as if David is reaching for words faster than they can come. He isn’t crafting a song for effect. He’s naming what kept him standing. Let’s start where the […]
A Meditation on Self-Worth, the Worship Landslide, the Loss of Doctrine, and the Call Back to Christ.
A Meditation on Self-Worth, the Worship Landslide, the Loss of Doctrine, and the Call Back to Christ. There’s a quiet but devastating shift happening across our culture and, heartbreakingly, across much of the Church. It’s not sudden. It’s not explosive. It’s a gradual landslide, a slow erosion of foundations that once held firm, leaving us […]
When “Manifesting” Becomes a Modern Tower of Babel.
When “Manifesting” Becomes a Modern Tower of Babel Why the Trend Is Empty, Why It Has Crept into the Church, and Why Scripture Pulls Us Back to Reality It is almost impossible to miss the rise of “manifesting” in today’s culture. Everywhere you look, someone is telling you that if you just “visualise intensely”, “speak […]
“When God Rebuilds What Life Has Cut Down”
“When God Rebuilds What Life Has Cut Down” A Gospel Reflection on Isaiah 29:17–24. Introduction: Isaiah 29 gives us a picture of hope that grows quietly but powerfully, and yet, the sort of hope that doesn’t make sense until God begins to transform everything. To really feel the force of Isaiah’s words, we need to […]
When God Calls — Do We Come or Contemplate?
When God Calls — Do We Come or Contemplate? I was sitting in the vet’s waiting room yesterday with my three Persian cats — each of them looking rather unimpressed that their morning had been interrupted. The three furry critters sat in silence, glaring at me with that mixture of pride, intelligence, and utter indignation […]
Only One Voice Opens Heaven — From Death to Life Through Christ Alone.
Dead to God — Until Christ Makes Us Alive 1. Outside of Regeneration, All Humanity Is Spiritually Dead Ephesians 2:1–5 (NIV)“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins… But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead […]
The Protective Layer of the Holy Spirit’s Fruit
Introduction: Love: The Protective Layer of the Holy Spirit’s Fruit. When the Apostle Paul lists the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22–23, he deliberately uses the singular — “fruit,” not “fruits.” This is no grammatical accident. Paul isn’t describing a variety pack of spiritual produce, but rather one divine fruit with many qualities that […]
The £99.99 COVID Jab Rip-Off — When Compassion Becomes a Commodity.
The £99.99 COVID Jab Rip-Off — When Compassion Becomes a Commodity. Written by Rev. Albert M. Martin – Worldwide Christian Ministries I’m seventy-two years old, and as I get older, I realise I’ve grown far less tolerant of what society quietly labels as acceptable. Things we once would have questioned or resisted are now simply […]
