- We lost a paradise by sin,
and have gained a heaven by the cross.
Stephen Charnock (1628-80)
Until sin be bitter,
Christ will not be sweet.
Thomas Watson (1668)
The cross once seen
is death to every vice.
William Cowper (1835)
The tear of repentance is shed by the eye of faith, and faith, as it weeps, stands beneath the cross.
Horatius Bonar? (1880s)
Let them that will, repent, that Christ may do for them.
I believe what Christ hath done for me, that I may repent.
Thomas Boston (1720s)
A discovery of Christ
in the light of the Spirit,
wastes, weakens and withers
the body of sin.
Ebenezer Erskine (1730s)
If you will remember Christ's love, you will be lifted up from your crookedness, and made straight.
C.H. Spurgeon (1890)
Live in Christ, die in Christ, and then flesh need not fear death.
John Knox (1572) Top posts (last 24hrs)

Infant to adolescent church growth
Mark Driscoll’s Confessions of a Reformission Rev. (see a full review on Challies.com) has given me loads of food for thought and encouragement. As a result of reading it, I’ll keep going with two strands of ministry. First, Christ centred … Continue reading
Being missional – made simple

Vision and personality
We had a mission action plan meeting at St Luke’s a few weeks back. Part of the day was spent discussing our current aim statement and whether or not we needed a vision statement. As we reviewed vision statements of … Continue reading
For Men Only: overcoming porn use
I have decided to change the opening line of this post from “This post is for men only” to “read this if you use porn, it will help you build the desire you need to kick the habit.” Why have … Continue reading

I don’t deserve the Lord’s love…
There are, as far as I’m aware, two famous Colin Buchanans in the Christian world. One is the former Bishop of Woolwich, evangelical theologian and liturgist. The other is the Aussie Colin, of Aussie Praise for Kids fame. If you … Continue reading
Sydney Anglicans, British Evangelical Anglicans and Driscoll in Sydney
Many thanks to Gordon Cheng who has posted his notes from Mark Driscoll’s lovingly hard hitting analysis of Sydney Anglicanism. Given that much of British Evangelical Anglicanism holds hands with Sydney, many of Driscoll’s points seem to apply directly to … Continue reading
Routine vs Reformission evangelism
I’ve culled the table below from Mark Driscoll’s Radical Reformission and hope he doesn’t mind. It highlights the difference between routine presentation and reformission participation evangelism and has helped me think not only about personal, friendship evangelism but about how … Continue reading
Invitational Mission or Radical Reformission?
Willow Creek’s change of direction from “seeker sensitive” to “disciple making” church has been widely reported and blogged about. Christianity Today has two recent articles about the change, Willow Creek Repents? and Willow Creek’s Huge Shift. In essence, the church … Continue reading
