On Saturday I had some good reading time on a train to and from London. On my lap? A book by Donald Bloesch, God the Almighty, that begins with a survey of the 20th century theological landscape. In a chapter on various attempts to define God he noticed views of deists, pantheists, panentheists, classical theists, …
If you were God, what kind of Bible would you give by inspiration? It really depends what kind of a God you were. Let’s say you were a God as conceived by most human thinking on the subject. A supreme power-broker God who can think only of itself. The kind of God we see portrayed …
As I write this on Sunday evening I’m reflecting on this morning. With Jon and Rob of our Cor Deo group this year we were privileged to join Huw and Alison at the International Church of Turin. Huw is a Cor Deo alum from last year and now pastors the Turin church. We had a …
Twenty years ago when I learned to drive I had to face the dreaded UK driving test. Nowadays there are two tests: the practical test that I took, and the theory test. Ron is in the midst of all this as he needs to get his UK driving licence to be able to continue to …
In Hebrews 12:6 we find a citation of Proverbs 3:11,12: “For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” The author then elaborates the point (verses 10-11), “For they [earthly fathers] disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our …

Mike Reeves, one of Cor Deo’s trustees, is about to release his new book, The Good God. It is a fantastic little book that we want to promote as much as possible. To see Peter’s review of it, click here.
Who is the Spirit? What should we expect of him and how do we respond to him? It’s an important question, especially given what Jesus had to say. And what Paul said as well. It’s a question so important that our lives depend on getting it right. We need to begin by getting the right …
The Bible doesn’t just use language of relationship, it actually does speak of relationship. This may be a subtle difference, but it is important. God isn’t just pretending to enter into relationship with us any more than He is just pretending to be in relationship within the Godhead. It’s not a matter of Him “dumbing …
“The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answers of the tongue is from the LORD” (Proverbs 16:1). Here the author offers us God’s perspective as a basis for our own point of view. That is, of course, a key insight for faith as we enter a new year. Let me carry it …
