  Human beings need to be redeemed from the abuse of power and the effects of the perversion of the good gifts that God has given us.

• Revelation 22: Seven principles for today's church

  The Bible begins with humanity being shut out from the presence of God – it ends with an open invitation to all to come and drink from the river of the water of life.

• Scotland's smacking ban and the Church: Should Christians care?

  Why the Church as a whole should not be associated with this campaign.

  Sometimes we miss the sheer glory and beauty of the Gospel invitation, because we do not see, feel or long for the end result.

• Reformation 500: With the 'fundamentalism, terror and religious violence' should we really celebrate?

  Is it not the case that our praise is too often mediocre or weird? It's heartless or thoughtless.
