I watched a family walking down the beach. The adults were walking quickly as they could see a dark cloud looming and moving swiftly towards them. However, they couldn’t just dash back towards shel…
I remember standing, one evening back in the 1970s, talking to my youth leader in the church building that had become my spiritual home after my coming to Christ not so long before. And I said to him…
There are no better words than those of the bible. When we are in need, be that a little need or great need, the answers will only ever be found in scripture. Let’s read from the book of Isaiah, chap…
What’s your favourite season? Mine has always been summer, for multiple reasons. For example, I love the heat, so a wet summer is absolutely miserable to me. I love the long, light evenings. I love t…
Think back to when you were at school. Maybe that's a long time ago or maybe fairly recently. Which lessons did you like and which lessons did you really want to get out of? I know that I didn't espe…
I’ve been thinking about ‘paths’ lately and I haven’t been able to get this out of my head. So many of us focus on other people and what they’re doing in life, instead of focusing on ourselves and th…
I was reminded of something Jesus said in Luke last week. I’ve been looking after the kids in the day with Jamie and their mum being at work. Eli would come out with some random sentences but one thi…
There’s always one thing we like to talk about – the weather. It must be so boring to live in a country where every day is predictable: yet another sunny day with clear blue skies! Well, I woke up on…
I acknowledge my source for today’s Beacon as being Messianic Bible Ministries. There is an old, grand hymn entitled Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God almighty, that was written by Reginald Heber.
Recently I went with a friend on a road trip to Romania and back. It’s a long and tiresome journey .my friend did the driving and I tried to do the navigating. As I’m here to tell the story, you can…
I wonder if you can relate to this experience. You get worried about something, perhaps something you did, or anticipating a stressful situation, and you keep mulling it over in your mind.
Oliver Hardy, of Laurel and Hardy fame, had many great catch phrases. One of the best known of these was “That's another fine mess you've gotten us into” usually delivered towards Stan as they sat th…
There is a well loved old gospel song that says, “Trust and obey for there is no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.” These Beacons have been run-in for quite some time now.
There are those who say “I would love to have faith in God but I doubt too much” or “I would love to become a Christian but I don’t have enough faith to not doubt.” They say it as if we must have som…
Now today, I’m feeling a little nostalgic. One of the films that used to be a staple diet of Christmas telly when I was a kid was the original ‘The Italian job’, not the later remake, but the 1969 M…
I love being on the coast any time of year. It’s obviously better in great Summer weather – a gentle breeze and clear blue skies, with uninterrupted views across the sea to the horizon. However, this…
On Christian TV shows I have sometimes seen short street interviews in which passers-by in shopping centres have been asked if they believe anything that is written in the Bible. Almost all the time …
Our culture often sees Christians as “judgey”. The world thinks that we think we have all the answers and have it all together and we are judging them for how they act and what they think or say. The…
