Christian Love

I recently read a tweet from a Christian that touched me in a profound way: We become more and more joyless and call it Jesus. More and more hateful and call it holiness.

Creation and Creator

I found this diagram really useful in depicting the different ways people see the relationship between God and the universe: In theism, God and the universe are separate, but God can intervene in creation. In deism, God and the universe are separate and distinct from one other, with no interaction between the two. In pantheism,… Continue reading

The Bible and Patience

I have encountered a variety of situations in my life recently which have really tested my patience. Sometimes it is little things that frustrate me, such as people throwing litter onto the street or when people stand at a crossing for ages and don’t press the button, seemingly not realising that the lights won’t change… Continue reading
