Two weeks ago we had our first guest instructor at Cor Deo. Glen Scrivener hails from Eastbourne and is a full-time evangelist with Revival, as well as an Anglican minister. Glen’s compelling presentation to the Cor Deo team has left an impression, including his talk of the “OmniBeing.” So we decided to share this part …
As a lifelong single I see the marriages of my friends and family as a gift for learning more about life in Christ. Here is why. Marriage is not an end in itself but offers a picture of the ultimate marriage. Throughout the Bible God uses marriage to explain what it means to be united …
This weekend I was speaking at a team retreat for a missions organization up in mid-Wales. I spoke from the final section of Hebrews, a book that has been a regular delight for me in recent years. I was struck again how easily we can become myopic in our Christian journey. We lose sight of …
Most of us, I suspect, assume that God’s love is best measured by the way he treats us. We look to our circumstances as evidence of God’s delight and approval. Enriched, gifted, or attractive folks are on God’s good side; those whose circumstances or abilities are marginal to poor must be on his bad side. …
Sitting in a coffee bar in Central Asia on Friday we were conversing with a group of preachers about the Bible. “Some people study the text and it is all human level for them,” somebody observed. “But others prepare a sermon and they preach about God.” Why the difference?

This weekend all Christ’s followers remembered his death and resurrection once again. Yet the world at large retains its smothering skepticism about our claims that he is risen. We can hardly be surprised. Even his forewarned disciples doubted the first reports of an empty tomb as when Jesus scolded two of his disciples on the …
It is too easy to let Easter slide by as if it is normal. For many it is the break that marks the end of winter and the anticipation of summer. For others it is a mini-commercial moment, or a key point in the sporting calendar. But Easter has to be more than that. I …
I was reminded by Peter’s sermon tonight that blind people often have better sight than do the sighted. In Mark 10 the blind man, Bartimaeus, knew enough to call out to Jesus for healing and Jesus responded. The story of the man born blind in John 9 is another example. Jesus loves to give sight …
Rob Bell’s book, Love Wins, is causing a significant stir at the moment. At Cor Deo we are really concerned that people will fall into one of two extremes – either buying into the distorted kind of love emphasis that Rob Bell offers, or reacting against it and ending up in a loveless emphasis on …
We live in a time that is marked by our need to hear the Word of God. Actually this time has been ongoing since Genesis 3. Ever since His Word was doubted, God has worked to draw us back into fellowship with Him, but He does so primarily by asking us to trust His Word. …
