From an English Pulpit: March 2015
http://englishpulpit.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Tuesday, 31 March 2015. We began our Church's week of prayer last evening. We're using the chapters of John's gospel set in the Upper Room and this brought us to the very familiar words of John 14. Or so we thought. It is about Him. It is about trusting Him. It is as available on the deathbed as the Sunday school, in the workplace or the clinic on the aircraft in the pulpit. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Links to this post.

From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Saturday, 28 February 2015. There is on ancient Celtic poem which reads;. He drew a ring which shut me out. Heretic, rebel, things to flout. But Love and I had wit to win. We drew a circle that took him in. Yet what is more amazing is the way that God. Draws circles. Without any touch of irony or hypocrisy God could comfortably and justifiably draw a circle of holiness that leaves not just Mr Savile and JJ outside bu...

From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Tuesday, 27 January 2015. I was struck by the crafted words of a journalist reporting on today's commemoration of the liberation of Auschwitz:. Those who survived Auschwitz lived through one of the 20th Century's worst acts of hatred and inhumanity. In a world where hype so often hides the truth here is the truth:. One of one century's worst. Protection for Frankfurt's Synagogue - today. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. All th...

From an English Pulpit: July 2015
http://englishpulpit.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Friday, 31 July 2015. The story is told of a man on his hands and knees under a street light looking for something. Along came an Officer of the Law who was concerned with the man's behaviour so late at night. Have you lost something, sir? My wallet, officer", drawled the man who was evidently somewhat the worse for drink. Do you remember when you last had it? Friday, July 31, 2015. Links to this post. It's that time of ...

From an English Pulpit: November 2014
http://englishpulpit.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Sunday, 30 November 2014. Advent is about reflective waiting. Is it not a haven from the madding crowds of Black Friday, every subsequent Saturday, Sunday and Thursday late and through to Christmas eve? There is something appealing about retreating into a Carmelite Christmas. (It will be less expensive for a start . . .). William Booth was an activist. You don't start an expression of church that becomes called. Well in ...

From an English Pulpit: Magna Carta
http://englishpulpit.blogspot.com/2015/07/freedom-is-strangely-elusive-idea.html
From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Tuesday, 7 July 2015. Freedom is a strangely elusive idea. Instinctively we want it, value it, demand it, yet it is much less clear what it really is. Take the striking opening of the Magna Carta. And one of the only four of its clauses that remain in contemporary English Law:. Then there have been the times when, whatever freedoms the Church did enjoy it used against other expressions of church and religion. You wou...

From an English Pulpit: June 2014
http://englishpulpit.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Monday, 30 June 2014. One Month back in London. Celebrating this Anniversary today it strikes me that there are a bunch of London things that I am reliving after years of being away. 1 My driving has diminished. On ringing the Car Insurer to discuss my new (higher of course) premium the receptionist suggested I might do only half or less of my previous mileage. She was right. 7 I assume everyone in London has a baby - it...

From an English Pulpit: August 2014
http://englishpulpit.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Sunday, 31 August 2014. As August comes to its end its most pleasantly memorable day for us was certainly the one spent at Trebah Gardens. It was one of those perfect days at a perfect place that it is quite possible to get through years - or the whole - of life and never have (especially taking holidays in England! If only we could hold these moments as our constant way of life. Sunday, August 31, 2014. At the end - it'...

From an English Pulpit: May 2015
http://englishpulpit.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Saturday, 30 May 2015. London a year on. GROWTH: Those years ago London seemed like a great but tired old city. Not any more. It is no exaggeration to say that cities are being built as part of the city. It feels like a 21st century place. HOUSE PRICES: London was never cheap but now it is simply insane, fueled by an international buying spree that simply offers silly money for almost any London freehold. This makes ...

From an English Pulpit: Hearing
http://englishpulpit.blogspot.com/2015/07/hearing.html
From an English Pulpit. A Pastor from London thinking aloud. The Bible Blog by Blog. Monday, 20 July 2015. Not too much attention is given by Christians to the meaning of hearing. The hearing I refer to is that with which the Lord Jesus ends many parables - he that hath ears to hear let him hear. Lest we take that turn of phrase to mean that everyone will hear Jesus also indicates rather the opposite, quoting the old prophet - ears have they but they hear not. But there is also hearing. The picture above...
