‘Jesus loves the little children’, as the song says, but Chris and Pete question whether our churches kind of hide them away. How are children better at the kingdom life than adults? Do we put as much value on what our children think and know as Jesus does? What are we missing by leaving our children out of grown ups church life?
Why are you working? We were made to work, so are we just some kind of labouring machine? Chris and Pete look at labour and ask what was work meant to be? Why is work a grind when it was meant to be a God given joy? Can work make life happy and where do we find work working well?
Chris and Pete ask what is this ‘bible’ thing? Not an operator’s manual? Is it a user’s manual? Why can’t we get order by following the bible? And what is its ‘authority’? Why is it so often used for ‘bashing’ people and how did science make the bible central? Will the bible actually put itself out of business and what would our churches be like without the bible?
As holiday season descends, Chris and Pete slip into the bubble bath to wind down. But, is that the wrong thing to do? What is self care and how has it become an industry rather than a life style? Did Jesus get his nails done? How did HE take down time? Have we got self care confused with self indulgence and what about self discipline? Or are we just too self focussed? Are we willing to try a new type of self care?
Back in the day there were so many ‘heroes of the faith’. Big names, big people doing amazing things, the Jesus movement, Mother Theresa, David Wilkerson, Billy Graham etc etc… So where are these heroes of today? Why aren’t there big faith things happening today? Where has the movement gone? Have big faith, culture breaking people disappeared, if so does that mean the amazingness of faith is dying out or just changing? Can there be a revival?
