friends, FOES and families - Mary at the foot of the cross
by SPCK - Judith Dimond
Mary at the foot of the cross John 19.25-27 Mary came to the foot of the cross, drawn as by a magnet. This was the only place on earth to be; the whole universe spinning around this wasteland. There was no choice in her being there, only the necessity of a mother’s love. Sufferin…

Poem: Turning back
by Marjorie Dobson
Poem: Turning back If repentance comes too late to be able to say, ‘sorry,’ then the guilt lies heavy and forgiveness appears impossible. So when realisation points to the lesson that the wrong choice was made and acted upon, it would be wise to reverse the process, turn around a…

With My WholeHeart - Psalm 119:111-112
by SPCK - James Jones
Psalm 119:111-112 There’s a joyless religion that should be avoided like the plague. There’s a certain personality that obsesses with detail; it becomes preoccupied with rules and ritual; it prefers the letter of the law to the spirit of the law. Jesus clashed with this sort of p…

Meditation – Pentecost Year C Help at last! John 14: 8-17 (25-27) ‘If you love me, obey my commandments,’ he said. Well that sounds easy enough, and to a great extent it’s perfectly reasonable. We really do love him, and just as he so rightly said, because we love him, we want to…

The Letters 21 AUGUST 1930 I shall be forty-six in two weeks. I no longer have the sense that life is all before me, as I had a few years ago. Some of it is behind—and a miserable poor past it is, so far below what I had dreamed that I dare not even think of it. Nor dare I think …

The Open Gate - Intercession
by SPCK - David Adam
Intercession Intercession is not so much what we want from God, as discovering what He wants to do and is already doing for us. It is not that we are seeking to change God’s mind, rather it is to open our minds and our lives to His action that is taking place. Too often in prayer…

With My WholeHeart - Psalm 139:23
by SPCK - James Jones
Psalm 139:23 This psalm speaks of the intimate knowledge God has of each of us. Jesus said as much, in that even the hairs on our head are numbered. There are no other words that match the truth and beauty of this prayer so allow me to say only why it always leaves my soul in a c…

Poem: God’s way

Poem: God’s way When we are hurt, when we are attacked, when we are betrayed, when friends desert us, when love is scorned, when truth is contorted, when compassion, concern and care are rejected and the history of relationships is despised and belittled, then bitterness is under…
