Associate Pastor at Kensington Baptist Church, Bristol. Tutor for @crosslands and PhD student at @UnionTCollege researching life and thought of Stephen Charnock

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

Through the generosity of my church, I'm doing a PhD into one of the brightest minds and warmest hearts of the 1600s, Stephen Charnock. Inspired by missionary newsletters, each month I'm taking one thing I've learnt and applying it to life. Fancy joining me? Link in my bio.

As Christians we can be certain about our heavenly hope. But the flip side to this is what the Bible teaches about hell. This is what one 17th century divine taught his people about it. https://t.co/GmJP8lvhn4

The latest installment in my series looking at Christopher Love's remarkable sermons on heaven and hell. https://t.co/DqE5SPoTsP

'I lie down with a world of comfort as if I were to lie down in my bed . . . where I shall rest ... in the embrace of the Lord Jesus.' Those were Christopher Love's last words on the scaffold in 1651. What enable him to have such faith? https://t.co/Hek9dwyZcM

Today I had the pleasure of introducing a room of guys to Christopher Love (1618-1651) on heaven and hell at the @southwestgospel men's convention. All the more poignant, given his last words before his execution: 'I shall go from a block to the bosom of my saviour'.

It was a privilege to lead a study day for pastors in South West England last week on @DrRobertLetham's helpful volume on the Trinity. And it was even better to hear how they were planning to wear their trinitarianism more heavily in their ministries as a result! @prpbooks

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

@martyncowan @sambostock I'm sorry I can't be there. I'm sure it will be a great time!

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

@StephenCharnock did not give his congregation a lot of parenting advice, but that which he did you don't hear today. https://t.co/4neeczUN1T

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

@martyncowan @SpillaneHarry And a nice connection to Bristol too!

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

I have spent the last year reading all of @StephenCharnock's writings. In my latest Substack I share some of what I have learnt from the process. https://t.co/WWU1kRSeAE

@matthewweston @DrDanStrange @crosslands Thanks Matthew! We came up with the idea four years ago and it's been wonderful to see it steadily grow from 6 to 11 to 20 to 25.

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

It was so fun serving with these @crosslands friends at our half term Bible intensive for teens in Bristol. Please give thanks for great teaching and conversations with 25 young people about what it means to be human!

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

This is one of my highlights of the year! Spending time with 25 teenagers from across Bristol for two days of Bible teaching and relationship building. This year we're digging deep into what it means to be human. Please pray for us! @GYDisciples

[Martyn Cowan @martyncowan]

Great to see two book reviews by @UnionTCollege PhD students in the latest edition of Studies in Puritanism & Piety - David Reid on Luke’s Edwards and the Supper and @jlamorrison on Schultz’s Protestantism, Revolution and Scottish Political Thought. See https://t.co/5GIulIuT4A

The irony about Christmas is that, even with the extra services and outreach events, we can forget to worship Jesus ourselves. Here is some help from @StephenCharnock for not forgetting Christ this Christmas. https://t.co/uqPUH2wVx6

[James Morrison @jlamorrison]

Christians often have a good idea of the difference Christ's resurrection makes to their future. But what about their life now? This is what @StephenCharnock had to say. https://t.co/3LB95ZBjBZ

A. J. Tozer once said: "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." /1

As I spend time supporting the believers in my church, probably the most common issue come across is people doubting whether they really are justified in Christ. Here's some help from @StephenCharnock with that.
