As Taylor Swift sang to thousands in our City over the weekend, I loved gathering with our church family on Sunday and remembering that the local church is the greatest show in town.

One generation commends your works to another...

[FIEC @theFIEC]

We're currently working our way through the 'Sermon the Mount' at @BECEdinburgh.

We hit marriage & divorce this morning.

I was wonderfully reminded that God so often does the deepest work in our hearts when we go towards the hardest parts of His Word.

‘In that approach, the apologist highlights that whatever a particular non-Christian’s reasons for rejecting the gospel, that non-Christian would find his own objections unpersuasive if he were born in a different culture or time.’

‘Second, in response, the church must create places where non-Christians can experience Christianity more holistically and thickly than now happens in mainstream culture.’
