Ed Sheeran’s love song, Photograph, speaks of a love that is frozen in time as it has been captured in a photograph. Yet, carrying the photograph with you in a necklace or your jeans pocket is only a very pale reflection of the reality of having the loved person alongside you. Not having the complete Christian vision is similar to only having a photograph. It creates a longing, while totally missing out on the fullness of love that only the real person can provide. In fact, being a coherent Christian is actually about embracing love, the love of a son,...

Without God, humans are no more than accidents of the universe. On what basis should you, a bundle of cells, respect any other accidental bundle of cells, especially if it is going to cost you something? Loyalty to the human species as a whole might have some rational basis, but why be truly concerned about denying the freedom of other specific individuals? Why worry about the vulnerable, as long as we are not one of them? Why worry that those who inhabit our planet in 150 years’ time may have to live underground to escape the heat, due to our...

As there is no other known particle into which an electron can break down or decay, it is believed that its lifetime is infinite! Yet even measured against that timescale, God’s love for us is more enduring. You might even say it is a more fundamental constituent of who we are. We are creatures of God’s love and so we have an eternal future before us. The reassurance provided by this constant, forever love motivates the Christian to gratefully respond by carrying out the task entrusted to him or her by God. That task is one of co-creation, that is,...

‘In previous eras, it was more common for Christians to speak about what are called last things, namely heaven and hell, death and judgement. Our modern way is to seek to be non-judgmental, to allow the, often clear, wrong behaviour of many others to go without any public comment or judgement. In such a climate, even to speak of the existence of the next life and the possibility of hell is regarded as unacceptable. Practically all will share the view that certain persons are monsters and ‘deserve to rot in hell’, yet the exploration of what hell is about, or...

We see elements of the rich man in ourselves. Our riches do blind us. We instinctively feel that the well-paid job which has come our way is ours by right, we have earned it with our studies and our work, and we fully deserve all that we get. The western society in which we live, we feel, also deserves its hard-earned place, and rewards, in the world rankings. Christ actually does really expect a greater sense of proportion from us. He requires that we be aware that our success is never ours alone – we live off the accumulated achievements...
