Faith, life and kick-ass moves. There is no such thing as a 'free meal'. There is no such thing as a ‘free meal’. August 1, 2015. I think of my cats and I wonder…. If you’re a cat lover like me try looking up Simonscat.com for amazingly well observed cartoons and short animations ( http:/ simonscat.com/blog/watch-our-full-playlist/. I often think of my cats but today it’s been prompted by reading John 6.24-26. They sound so like my cats, particularly their obsession with their stomach! By feeding thousan...

Faith, life and kick-ass moves. June 18, 2016. Boy abandoned in bear-infested woods ‘as punishment’. Boy abandoned in bear-infested woods ‘as punishment’. I remember my shock at reading that headline earlier this year. A seven-year-old boy had annoyed his parents by continuing to throw stones, so they drove off leaving him in a dense forest with no food and water. It just happened to be full of bears too. Then a simple phrase in the Bible came alive. The Spirit lifted it off the page for me. It w...I rea...

Faith, life and kick-ass moves. Seeds – Faith just grows. June 13, 2015. At the end of the great commission Jesus tells his disciples: ‘And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age’ (Matthew 28:20, NIV). Thank him that he is with us each day. Mark 4:26-29 (The Parable of the Growing Seed). Our responsibility is not for the growing of the seeds, but with God’s help, with the gifts he gives us, he will use us to sow and to harvest the seeds of the kingdom. What seeds are you sowing? Lost boo...

Musings on a Royal Wedding | KungFuPreacherMan
https://nigeltuffnell.wordpress.com/2015/06/27/musings-on-a-royal-wedding
Faith, life and kick-ass moves. Musings on a Royal Wedding. June 27, 2015. Last week I was watching a royal wedding. I was spell bound by it all. The spectacle, the drama and the excitement were infectious. It was so amazing that it didn’t really matter that it wasn’t my queen getting married. The whole occasion was very different from a British royal wedding but none the less for that. Not many but it all goes on anyway unconcerned by the lack of any human audience.

“I used to be Church of England but now I’m not so sure about God” | KungFuPreacherMan
https://nigeltuffnell.wordpress.com/2015/07/18/i-used-to-be-church-of-england-but-now-im-not-so-sure-about-god
Faith, life and kick-ass moves. Kick up the backside. I used to be Church of England but now I’m not so sure about God. July 18, 2015. I have been thinking about three people that I met this week. The third was a young man who knew absolutely nothing about God or his son Jesus. He was a generally caring and decent man but God was just not a concept that he had ever considered seriously. God was the invention of crazy people who either cornered you in the bar or tried to blow you up! Reshape us, good Lord,.

Faith, life and kick-ass moves. I’m an ordained priest in the Church of England. But am no pacifist. I practice Wing Chun.

I see caring for this fragile world that we live on as part of my faith, keep bees because they are just wonderful creatures and ride a motorbike just for the fun of it!

Ordinary people: Amazing treasure | KungFuPreacherMan
https://nigeltuffnell.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/ordinary-people-amazing-treasure
Faith, life and kick-ass moves. Ordinary people: Amazing treasure. July 25, 2015. I love visiting museums and especially the British Museum. I particularly love it when I can touch a piece of history at one of the museum’s ‘ Hands on Desks. That pot was a link to the lives of ordinary people but no less precious for that. Like that pot, I’m not rich or famous. I’m not a celebrity (thank God! They weren’t wealthy or powerful but Jesus saw their worth and called them to be among his first followers. Their ...

https://nigeltuffnell.wordpress.com/2015/07/04/well-ive-never-wanted-to-be-a-bishop
Faith, life and kick-ass moves. Well, I’ve never wanted to be a bishop! July 4, 2015. Now that I’m away from the show I know that the infectious enthusiasm offered there needs to come back with me to my parishes. To be fair there is already a healthy slice of confidence in the work of the Spirit here in these Norfolk congregations. But you can never have too much encouragement! 1 I had said that I was being called to rural ministry;. 3 It was in the old part of the town in which I grew up. In the end I h...
