Perhaps it is only when a virus slows the world down that we are able to come off the merry-go-round and take time to reflect?

My predictions - not prophesies - for 2021
Aware that prophesy is a particular gift which gives a direct word from God, I will refrain from making any prophecies about this coming year. But Jesus says we should know the times and be like the men of Issachar who understood the times and knew what to do. So perhaps in that spirit, may I now suggest where I think the trajectory we are on is heading.
2020: the year for good news â if you know where to look

Lessons from the US presidential election for the worldwide Church
It has been distressing to also watch Christians get caught up in the spirit of the age. We are not going to be saved by politicians, nor are we going to be damned by them.
A letter to Evangelicals for Trump
Evangelicals for Trump reflects rather a widespread view that the vast majority of white evangelicals (and a significant number of African-American and Hispanic ones) have voted and will vote for Donald Trump. This is deeply puzzling to many outwith the US who do not understand how you can vote for such a flawed human being.
