I preached on Psalm 88 yesterday and said that it wasn't the sort of Psalm you'd find on one of those pretty posters or those nice Instagram posts.
So my friend made me these:

This morning I preached at the first gathering of a new church in the council estate I've lived on for nearly 11 years. I've wanted and hoped and prayed for this day for ages.
It was a good day. All Glory to Him!

This week, the churc voted me to continue as Assistant Pastor beyond this summer when my initial contract was until. It also included being the lead on the Eyres Monsell plant, and a commitment of the church to support me in it. Which is all very exciting innit??

Hey
@TGC
. I just read this article and wanted to offer a few thoughts. Please read them?
First - I LOVE The Gospel Coalition. I'm incredibly thankful to have a biblically faithful organisation putting out regular and diverse resources for the worldwide church. Thank you so much.
There is almost nothing more counter-cultural than having more children. And once we have those children, there is almost nothing more important than catechizing them in the faith.

Tomorrow is the last Sunday where we as a family will gather as members with Avenue Community Church. We've been at Avenue for 10 years: we arrived spat out by a church that nearly destroyed my wife. She really didn't trust anyone, and didn't want to let anyone get close at all.

We don't need "Sunday School" for secondary school age children. They can cope for an hour in school - they can handle a 25-35 minute sermon. All we do is un-equip them for adult church life.

Tomorrow, Sunday 18th September, my incredible wife is finally (for reasons too long to explain on here) getting baptised. Thankful for her bravery in doing it right now, and for her willingness to obey Jesus when it would be easier in some ways not to.

Morning all. Quick prayer request if you're a pray-er. I'm currently down A&E with a physical thing (nothing life threatening!), and not 100% sure how long I'm going to be.

Mother's Day is a bit bittersweet in casa James. Infertility means mourning for the lost babies we never met, while rejoicing in the miracle of the 1 that stuck in there.
Overall - very thankful, of course, but it's always tinged with a hint of sadness.
However, she is amazing!

So, whatever size your church, no matter the quality of the music or the preaching or the kids work: every church can do this. Every one in a church can do this.

It's incredibly 'middle class' to think that going on holiday in the UK isn't an actual holiday. Can't imagine many council estate folk consider their holiday at a seaside anything less than a holiday. Travel abroad is a luxury, not an essential.

Take 2 minutes out of your day and watch this.
We need this kind of messaging for men in church. Something has to change. This can't keep being a hidden, unseen thing that we're ashamed to talk about. We have to do better, and lead better.
And it does start with leaders.

100% second this. I am in exactly the position Ash mentions in his second tweet - no other staff and a wife that works and who is a fantastic present mum when she isn't. So I go and have coffees with women in my church in the local cafe. And there's no temptation.
Yesterday I sat through an extraordinary and deeply moving seminar addressing justice issues as related to complementarianism.
But there was a single moment (I don’t think representative of the speaker, hence them being unnamed) that troubled me.

I'm struck reading through the New Testament how often we're commanded to pray. And yet my experience is that I measure/assess my Christian growth not on how I'm praying, but on what I'm reading - and what we read is what a lot of us talk about on here and IRL.

Avenue - in the most loving way - wouldn't let us stay at a distance. People refused to let us not have friends, to not be in a homegroup. We were invited to houses and Homegroups, and people refused to be told they couldn't love us.
