France, faith, family…. Jan 25, 2013. The most important of these is love…. The apostle John taught us two essential truths about the nature of God:. We can’t experience communion with God if we are living in darkness, because God dwells in light. The darkness is the place where we hide. In their shame, Adam and Eve hid themselves in the garden, so that God might not find them. ‘Walking in the light’ means being open to being known, being willing to live transparently. If we say we have no sin, we deceiv...

France, faith, family…. Jul 8, 2012. If there’s one thing Christians can agree on, what ever their flavour, it’s that Jesus is the way to God. He said it himself: “I am the way, the truth, and the life” – which means one of three things (to quote C.S. Lewis): he is either a liar, a lunatic or Lord. Years ago I read a book entitled Unfamiliar Paths. And heard nothing to that effect. Was it because of the “ecumenical” nature of the gathering, or is this normal? May 12, 2010. Old – this one dates back...

France, faith, family…. Jan 10, 2015. France is in shock. In the attempt to make sense of the senseless, many are making every effort to promote national unity. To this end, yesterday President Hollande declared that “these fanatics have nothing to do with the Islamic religion.”. And the duty of the Muslim to eradicate unbelievers. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them. 8:12. May be seen as carrying more weight&...

I’m writing this from Montpellier where I’m waiting for a bus to take me out to a Christian community in the Cévennes hills – a historic area where many huguenots (French Protestants) took refuge during the wars of religion.

France, faith, family…. Jan 13, 2012. How one man saved humanity. Any more than we do today, but nevertheless God’s reaction to his offering shows that Abel had obeyed, but Cain hadn’t. Noah waited over 7 months before leaving the ark. After the ark stopped moving, 7 more months living on stale food with all the smell and mess of those animals, presumably in the dark, breathing old air. Why did he do that? Why did God require that of Noah and his family? We don’t know, but I imagine that Noah’...
