Comment by the photographer - Some time ago while I was walking along Calle Larios in Malaga, I was struck by the skill of this craftsman who, there in the middle of the street in a completely artisanal way (the lathe was a wheel that he rotated with his hands) of a shapeless piece of clay was used to make vessels and other useful and beautiful pie…

Seated on high You yet stoop so low to meet us as and where we are. No matter that may sometimes feel like worker bees, gathering but a fraction of a teaspoonful of honey in our lifetimes, yet we are doing and seek to do all that you have commissioned us to do as we look above and not at the things of life.You are our refuge and our fortress, O God…

Miserere mei, Deus (‘Have mercy upon me, O God)Disaster! With one fell swoop, the second king of Israel broke three of the commandments God had given to help His people live in the light of His holiness.The enormity of what David had done in his sudden relationship with Bathsheba did not seem to strike his heart immediately, however. He had coveted…

Lament and Light: Seeing with God's eyes 5:47

20d ago5:47

5:47

Throughout this Mashal, we are thinking about how we can turn what we see into prayer. A while ago, I took a walk around the streets where I live, and took the opportunity to see – with my spirit as well as my eyes – the people I passed. My walk became slower and slower as I felt the Lord’s burden come upon me for these people, and He began to talk…

Prayer for those in Prison 4:58

I woke one morning nine years ago sensing a call to pray for prisoners around the world - and as soon as I reached the sound engineer's house I started praying into the nearest microphone.

Just a few days ago, I knew next to nothing about this huge country that is the size of Western Europe, but whilst preparing to lead the prayer meeting I had been asked to lead for it, I soon ‘discovered’ the country (the last of the former Soviet republics to declare independence in 1991) and took it to heart. Kazakhstan, has the reputation of bei…

With many situations both personal and international in great need of prayer, I turned to the best-known cry of all for mercy Kyrie Eleison to be the basis of this sung prayer.

In Uncertain Times 1:45

This is the sketchiest of sketches, musically speaking, but I was looking for something that would reflect and speak into the unsettledness of our times. Obvious examples spring to mind, such as the grim situation on the battlefront in Ukraine, and the endless grief in the heart of that nation - but may the Lord lead you where He and you together w…

I bind unto myself this day hésuchazó and charmolupē (Stillness and Joy-Grief) 4:05

7M ago4:05

4:05

When I wrote this piece, Stillness and Joy, I ‘bookended’ it with the theme from that wonderful hymn, 'I bind unto myself this day’ – the great ‘Breastplate’ prayer for protection that is widely accredited to St Patrick.* The Greek words I used in the title are hésuchazó (stillness, rest, quiet, silence) and charmolupē, a remarkable compound word t…

Nebuchadnezzar's empire was as secure and far-reaching as any great world power in the ancient world, but in himself, the king was not at rest. Night after night, disconcerting dreams swirled round his head, robbing him of peace and well-being. Dreams not only reflect the preoccupations of our hearts, but sometimes contain within them significant p…

The principle of Suffer-reign 52:52

The principle of Suffer-reign. In his first epistle, Peter frequently links the concept of suffering with glory. That's why I have coined the word 'suffer-reign' to describe this. In this far-reaching talk I am unpacking this precious and important theme. 1 Peter 2:11-25.By Ruach Breath of Life

The scale of the depradations and sufferings in Ukraine has been astonishing as the result of Putin's invasion.

Whole Russian brigades have simply ceased to exist as a resul…

Many years ago, as a young Christian, the Lord gave me this lovely song, reassuring me of His constant watchfulness and presence. I used to sing it to the community I was part of in Oxford.

What an extraordinarily rich account the book of Samuel is!

In the fourth chapter of Job, we see that a man of God who was going through hard times, hearing a whisper from a spirit telling him that he could not possibly hope to be right with God.How sickly subtle are the silent whispers that drip from the Accuser’s tongue.

Most of us will have known times when we regret things that we have said or done, or failed to say and do, and burst out, ‘Oh, if only I had . . .!’ Such idle regrets are usually an open invitation feels of worthlessness and condemnation – although they can serve some valid purpose if they make us more watchful and attentive in the future.As surely…
