Shape of things to come!
A few weeks ago Alice and I went to a pottery/craft shop. I was more taken by the potter’s wheel than anything else, sad I know! I tried to imagine how a lump of clay could be formed into the beautiful items that surrounded us. My mind has gone back to this image whilst reading Jeremiah 18 Like the potter who has something in mind when he sits down at the wheel, Father ...
Master’s Choice

Actually, our true identity was lost when Adam & Eve failed in their walk with ...

Eph 3 v 20-21 I have a book on my bookshelf entitled Revival: A People Saturated with God. It’s a very perceptive and helpful book by Brian Edwards. Sorry! But I think it’s out of print at the moment.

What are its distinguishing characteristics? He simply states Revival is a people saturated ...
