With My WholeHeart - Psalm 38:8, 10
by SPCK - James Jones
Psalm 38:8, 10 The success of those who trample on others with no regard for God or any moral principles can be very confusing for those of us who try to live our life by faith. It’s not unusual for us to make a costly decision in favour of doing what we believe to be right befor…

With My WholeHeart - Psalm 86:11-12
by SPCK - James Jones
Psalm 86:11-12 The prayer to ‘knit my heart unto thee’ is as poetic as it is profound. Weaving the sinews of our will into the will of God echoes the prayer of Jesus as he faced the cross: ‘Not what I want but what you want’ (Matthew 26.39b nrsv). His example shows us that it is …

Parallel Lives of Jesus - 11 The Death of Jesus
by SPCK - Edward Adams

Psalms for Everyone - They're Trying to Wash Us Away
by SPCK - John Goldingay
They’re Trying to Wash Us Away Psalm 31 Last night we went to a concert by the great honky-tonk/blues singer Marcia Ball, who grew up in Louisiana. Her closing song was Randy Newman’s unbearably moving “Louisiana.” The song describes how the Mississippi River rose all day and all…

Paul for Everyone Romans part 2 - God Calls a Remnant
by SPCK - N T Wright
God Calls a Remnant ROMANS 9.25-29 The Beatles once recorded a song called ‘Nowhere Man’. It grew out of a casual, dismissive remark one of them had made about somebody they’d just met: ‘He’s a real “nowhere man”.’ It was meant as a scornful put-down, and if the person they were …
