Sipech was right. In last month's blog off he wrote: To me the starting point of Christianity has to be Jesus. Many have started off with the idea of “God” and many words are spilled before we even get onto Jesus. And that is it. It is the be all and end all of how …

How I read the Bible
This started out with a comment from Sipech on Twitter, where he was asking what to blog about. So we set out to each do a blog with the same title : How I read the Bible Back in July I blogged on The Bible - What is it? This is more about how it …
Full Circle
Full Circle Galatians Part 11 This is the last post in the Galatians series, and has taken me a long time. What was supposed to be a sprint through the book turned into a bit of a slog. It was meant to have been written in some pool time on Holiday in Morocco in September, …
