Too bad?
She’d gone too far this time. No way she could be forgiven. Everyone knew about her, she was the talk of the town. How could she do such a thing? That’s what everyone thought about her, and she had the cheek to crash a dinner party of some very religious people! Everyone was outraged, everyone…

In the Wilderness (part 2)
Is it possible to never fail in the wilderness? Yesterday, we thought about how God’s people failed in the wilderness, and if we’re honest, we’ll know that we do to. The season of lent reminds us of the time that Jesus spent in the wilderness, and one of our readings this week from the Bible…

In the Wilderness (part 1)
Does life ever feel dry and barren? I have been meaning to write on the book of Numbers for a while as those following the Bible Reading Plan have been reading through it (and hopefully have just finished it!). It’s not an easy read, there’s a lot of historical names and places – it’s called…

Happy Valentine’s?
For some today is a great day and we want to celebrate with them. For others it’s a difficult day and we want to mourn with them. Some are in a happy relationship and today is a celebration of that, others are excited about the possibility of a relationship, but others are grieving the loss…

How much faith do you need?
I was struck as I read Exodus 12 about how God’s people were saved, they simply had to take God at his Word and do what he said – kill the lamb and put the blood on the door post. Imagine two Hebrew men, Levi and Simeon on the night of the very first Passover…

God has a plan!
