Watching Euro 2020 reminds me a lot of Jesus and his disciples
Gareth Southgate not only believes in his players but is willing to give second chances. Remind you of anyone?
-
If the US Church hasn't called out Trump before, it needs to now
This was a deliberate, calculated tactic, which culminated in a destructive mob and people dying. It's time for the Church to call this behaviour out.
-
Being cross about Covid won't help
We don't need to think Covid is ok. It's awful. But we do need to accept that like it or not, this is a challenge we have to face.
-
Let's not pretend this season isn't tough
What is not needed here is stiff upper lips. Rather God promises he is still present and faithful, and he calls us back to him.

Dominic Cummings: why it matters and what it means for all of us
Mr Cummings is unelected and yet wields great power. The accusation that he broke the rules he'd helped to make matters because if he doesn't follow them then why should anyone else? Serious stuff when tens of thousands have died and further spikes of infection are expected.

A personal take on the 'new normal'
It's not about pretending that it's all okay and putting on a brave face. It's about seeing that good can come during and through this time.

Where is Jesus in the Covid-19 outbreak?
Just as the Queen eloquently stated that Easter is not cancelled, God is not distant or impotent.

Coronavirus and the danger of being in denial
There is so much we cannot see. We need to be willing to see past the imminent and the obvious.

How slowing down can help us to get further
To slow down and occasionally to stop altogether appears counterintuitive in a world where there is always something to do. The question is – how much are we actually getting done running at full speed and what is the cost?
-
Are we minimising what God can do?
It's easy to only look to God with big issues and for big events and breakthroughs. If we do, we miss what He wants to do in the seeming insignificance of the everyday.

The Brexit blame game: it won't get us anywhere
Blame leave. Blame remain. Blame Theresa May. Blame Boris Johnson. Blame Jeremy Corbyn. Blame the EU. Blame immigrants. None of this gets us anywhere.
-
Proroguing Parliament crosses a line
My current 'Is it me?' moment is with the counter reaction to the shock of Boris Johnson proroguing Parliament, with some people acting like it's a perfectly normal, reasonable thing to do.
-
Same ****, different day?
Holidays are great but if day to day life is rubbish, they won't help much, they're just a temporary respite.

From King Saul to milkshakes in a few hundred words
The Israelites found out the hard way that it wasn't really a king they needed.
