Massacres in Nigeria

Posted by Hugh on Mar 9, 2010 in Church | 0 comments

This week, hundreds of men, women and children were butchered in Nigeria, for being Christians, by Muslims. Islam = Religion of Peace? PRAY for Christians in Nigeria.

Archbishop Ben Kwashi said:

“It was not a good sight at all. The villagers had no chance whatsoever. They were slaughtered. I could see machete wounds in the necks of children. Kids from age zero to teenagers, all butchered from the back, macheted in their necks, their heads. Deep cuts in the mouths of babies. The stench. People wailing and crying. Some have lost their voices. I could not stand it. From what I saw from a distance, it was over 100 killed in one village. I don’t know what sparked it off. I thought we were making headway after the previous crisis in January.”

The Evangelical Ministry Assembly - 23rd-25th June 2010

“Not by might, nor by power… Spirit-filled ministry”

Main speakers are John Piper, Rupert Bentley-Taylor, and Christopher Ash.

Looks like PT are getting a bit more charismatic, or at least open but cautious as they also invite Wayne Grudem, John Coles and Terry Virgo to give a bit more of a charismatic spin on things…

I’ll be there I guess, stewarding I think… should be fun!

Repairing Relationships

Posted by Hugh on Feb 27, 2010 in Sermons/Talks | 1 comment

I preached last Sunday night… we’re still in Proverbs… preaching it thematically…

I got the topic of Repairing Relationships… which is ironic at best. But it was good to use lots of resources collected on the topic of Forgiveness, lots of Keller influence who’s just very helpful at explaining and applying the Proverbs…
