Thursday, March 31, 2016. Our Evangelical Weakness in Offering Simplistic Solutions. We evangelicals are good at offering simplistic solutions to some of our biggest issues. They come thick and fast on social media. Usually they are in reaction to equally strident yet opposite propaganda from our politicians and in the wider media. They are frequently ideologically driven and often bolstered with Bible references. And yet there is often something missing. I suspect Qureshi himself doesn't disagree with a...

Tuesday, 28 February 2012. Disappointment, here we come? I haven't written in a while, mainly because this is the time of the year for stress, stress, stress! Aside from coursework, exam results and a boyfriend trying to decide which university to go to, the main focus of my last month has been the Eisteddfod. If you're not Welsh and don't know what that is, it's basically a talent contest we have in schools in our houses and mine is called Hywel (you've seen/read Harry Potter? So wish me luck! I'm sure ...

Wednesday, March 4, 2015. Welsh Weather: Guest Post by Elizabeth Pickett. Beth, who turns 11 today, was unwell the other day and missed the school St David's Day poetry competition.

There are sheep to be fed;. There are words to be said. There are seeds to be sown;. There are crops to be grown. But still the rain falls on. It’...

Wednesday, January 7, 2015. JS Bach and the Imago Dei. He asks. Could it be that since seven is the number of perfection Bach felt it would be immodest to go beyond six? Or is it that six is the number of Days of Creation? Certainly Bach was conscious that his creative gift was from the Lord (which is why he signed his work 'S.D.G.' (To the Glory of God Alone). But I think there is more to it than modesty. Bach was conscious of that great doctrine of the imago Dei. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). JS Bach and...

Monday, September 26, 2016. Spurgeon's Autobiography: The Early Years. Over the summer I have had the pleasure of reading the first volume of Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Autobiography: The Early Years.

I looked until I could almost have look my eyes away". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Wikipedia in the Classroom.
