Not only is it Easter Sunday – Resurrection Day – but we also had two baptisms this morning, one at each service. We stood to sing Jesus Christ Is risen today, Alleluia! Then followed the first baptism. What a day to be baptised on! Praise God! Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia! Our triumphant holy day, [...]

There is a Path of Pardon

I take the view – if pushed on the subject – that hymn writing is not what it once was. So often after singing one of the ‘old favourites’ the phrase ‘they don’t write them like that any more’ comes to mind. And for today the following hymn will demonstrate this. The desire to post [...]

In complete contrast to the ridiculous idea of having a donkey in a service of worship we were treated to the unadulterated Gospel at Alfred Place Baptist Church yesterday. Here Christ and His cross were at the centre, not donkeys, drums, entertainment and all manner of man-centred trivia. It was great to be in Aber [...]

I couldn’t decide what to call this post, as it could so easily have been ‘you couldn’t make it up’. On Sunday morning while preparing the veg for dinner I normally listen to the tortuous BBC Radio 4 Sunday broadcast. The purpose of listening is to have some sort of idea what’s going on in [...]

It’s a New Year and what better way to begin than gathering together to worship God and hear His Word preached. Our Pastor gave a very encouraging message this morning from Haggai 2: 1-9 (“Be strong and work” – Haggai 2:4). We have home group Bible Study every other Tuesday evening. At present we discuss and [...]
Hark! the herald angels sing

Here’s one of THE great Christmas Hymns – ‘Hark! the herald angels sing’ and so should we!. Or if you prefer one of THE great Incarnational Hymns by Charles Wesley (18 December 1707 – 29 March 1788). I’ve included below each stanza the verses from the Bible so we can see just how full of [...]
Free Salvation – at a price!

Salvation is free – but at what a cost! THERE is a path of pardon In His blood; There is a sure salvation In His blood. The law’s full consummation, A Father’s approbation— Hear Zion’s acclamation! In His blood— Atonement and redemption In His blood! O come, ye sons of Adam, And rejoice! Now trust [...]
See the place, and see the tree

In Eden – sad indeed that day My countless blessings fled away, My crown fell in disgrace. But on victorious Calvary That crown was won again for me – My life shall all be praise! Faith, see the place, and see the tree Where heaven’s Prince, instead of me, Was nailed to bear my [...]
Throned Upon the Awful Tree

Throned upon the awful tree, Lamb of God, Your grief I see. Darkness veils Your anguished face; None its lines of woe can trace. None can tell what pangs unknown Hold You silent and alone. Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around You and [...]
The New (Old) Religion?

I’m familiar with a Christian Union notice board in a school. There has been little activity on the notice board for while but I happened to see a full notice board just the other day. There was a large display of ecology materiel that over-spilled right across and covered the Christian Union space. I have [...]
