Asleep In The Light Watch, listen and hear the Spirit speak to your heart.

Hat tip to Stephen Court for the following: CSM is an important local officer position. We have two people filling it in our corps. CSM Phil Wall (an LO at a corps in UK) was heard recently to say, on accountability, “If you don’t master yourself, your self will master you.” On the same subject, … More Corps Sergeant-Major

We are in the thrust of beginning to flesh out our corps review from earlier this year. After the typical ‘lazy’ (yet crazy) summer in this part of the world, we’re back in action thick and fast. Main thing is our Ward System is due to start running in November. This is really exciting. We … More Wards

I wonder if a few seconds dangled over the fire of hell would change our attitudes towards evangelism?

Lets put it this way, I had to lovingly preach on Hebrews 13:17,18 last Sunday morning! Go figure! There isn’t a huge … More Keep your chin tucked in

Having been back in Pill a day, I’m now not feeling well…happens everytime we go away and come back…Pill is a bit damp with our big river running through it and I’m athsmatic. … More Back

‘There’s been a murrdurr’ I’m a big fan of the TV series, Taggart, set in Glasgow, for obvious reasons. I love the dry Scottish wit. I love seeing bits of home even although you can’t turn on to that particular street from that particular hill because its the other end of the city! Know what … More Taggart
