The Work of the Holy Spirit - Introduction
Status and Purpose This is draft content; feedback by anyone who reads it is welcome! I am trying to write for those who are Bible-believing evangelicals but who have not hitherto been open to experiences of the Spirit embraced by the charismatic community. My aim is to call such people
Letters to the Churches
In the book of Revelation Jesus, risen from the dead and ascended to His Father, appears to John and gives him messages to write to seven different churches. I find these fascinating. They reflect Jesus’ love and concern for particular groups of believers in particular places. He has different things
Led by the Spirit
Led by the Spirit Acts chapter 8 gives an account of Philip which is remarkable. When the church was scattered by the persecution after Stephen’s martyrdom in Acts 8, Philip, rather than becoming scared to share the gospel, went to a city in Samaria and proclaimed Jesus as the
Peter's Vision
In Acts 10 we read about a remarkable sequence of events. Cornelius, a Gentile, has a vision of an angel who gives him specific instructions about calling Simon Peter to come to him. Peter (before he hears about this) has an experience where he falls into a trance, and has

In the most self-referential of blog posts, I've redesigned and relaunched this website using Mezzanine, a Django-(and therefore Python)-based CMS. I originally implemented it seven years ago in Drupal... then four years ago was heard regretting that... I've migrated almost all the original content

A happy charging laptop
In a slight break from our normal family news... Charis experimented with inserting a mini audio jack into the power connector that plugs into my (David's) work Dell laptop. It produced no auditory success, but bent the pin inside the power connector. I managed to straighten it, but
