Do you know what the real meaning of Christmas is? Why does the whole world come to a standstill at Christmas time? Why is it still one of the most important dates on the calendar? Why do millions of people rejoice at the this time of the year? Read more.
The centrality of the gospel is the very person of Christ. In other words, He is the good news. The good news is not the message in and of itself, but the very person and work of Jesus Christ. As Baxter points out “”our Lord’s message was Himself.” The gospel message, whilst eternity itself will not allow us to fathom it, is the truth that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15).
We appreciate that you’ve taken time to visit our site. This article is perhaps the most important page you will read here because it is an introduction to the person who has inspired this site.
Let me introduce you to Him, Jesus Christ.
The well known American astronomer, astrophysicist, author and cosmologist, Carl Edward Sagan was well known during his lifetime for his contribution to the sciences. But he was also well known for being an agnostic and denying the existence of an afterlife. Read more.
Salvation is a gift of God. You cannot earn it with your good works or buy it with your gold, silver or money. God cannot be bribed and He does not accept good deeds as a payment for salvation. Salvation is the grace of God demonstrated as a free gift to unworthy sinners.
I am a Christian solely and entirely because of the Grace of God and not because of anything that I have thought or said or done. It was HE who by His Holy Spirit quickened me and awakened me to the realisation of certain profound and vital truths taught in the Bible. Read more.

Yesterday evening I was reminded again of the greatness of the LORD. During a prayer meeting in Wood Green (North London), several of us had the privilege of hearing what God is doing among the nations. We were delighted to hear that God truly is glorifying Himself and is most worthy to be praised. We were even more delighted to hear that the LORD God has not given up on any nation. As we prayed our hearts burned within us. Read more.
A few weeks ago, I felt the need to read the biography of a missionary. I think it was spurred on by my recent attendance at the Grace Baptist Mission 150th anniversary celebration, where I sat in awe listening to the stories of missionaries serving all over the world. Humbled and inspired is how I left. Read more.
There’s something about the work of missions that really stirs my heart. A sense of adventure mixed with awe and appreciation that the words spoken by our Lord in Matthew 28:16-20 are still being fulfilled this very day. This is a thing of great joy that in 2011, men and women the world over, enabled by God’s grace continue to go to the nations to make famous His name through the salvation of lost souls. Read more.
Recently, my husband and I moved from northern England to the London area so my husband could get more education. We had committed to the university by placing a large deposit months before we knew where we’d live. At first, it had made sense to me to find an affordable flat and then put down the deposit. But, I realised we wouldn’t be practicing faith in doing this. Read more.
The courting is over, introductions are done, we wed in beautiful Cyprus, and even the honeymoon has gone. Nearing three years of growing in love, sharing much joy and laughter, we have been joined together to start our happily ever after.
This Christmas, Grace Community Church in Richings Park will be supporting the work of Brunel University and Mustard Seed Relief Mission by packing, wrapping and sending Christmas shoe boxes to children in Eastern Europe. The Christmas Shoe Box Appeal, called Love in a Box is an annual tradition at Brunel to provide gifts to children who have very little.
I once heard that living the Christian life is to live a life of correction. We are born sinners by nature, and after we recognise Jesus as Lord, the Holy Spirit constantly corrects us in the ways of God. It’s our responsibility to listen to this gentle correction and maintain a teachable heart, even when God uses other people in the church to correct us. Read more.
Some of the most powerful words I have ever read about the person of Jesus Christ of Nazareth come from the pen of a James S. Stewart (1896–1990). A minister of the Church of Scotland, he taught New Testament Language and Literature and Theology at the University of Edinburgh. Read with me these scorching yet soothing words.
My husband is very good with children. When we’re at a party, I can usually find him surrounded by two or three giggling kids—he’s making faces and they’re climbing on his knees. About a year after we married, I asked him, “Why do you enjoy spending so much time with children?” Read more.
Every so often I flick through the channels of UK Christian television. Sometimes, very rarely, I see some God-centred, Christ honouring and Biblically saturated resources. Things which bring glory to God and edify my walk in Christ. But the sad reality is that on most occasions I have to switch it off because it vexes my spirit. Today was one of those days.
Two weeks ago, I knew nothing of John Doggett. I hadn’t even heard of his name. But today, I can say that the little I do know about him gives me reason to rejoice for the life he lived. The skills and talents this man had aquired during his life were put to good use. Indeed, a lesson for us all. May the Lord raise up many more John Doggett’s again so that the fame and glory of God’s name be spread throughout these lands. Read on.
