While in UK churches the so-called “Worship Wars” have to a large extent abated (although not completely), in the US they are still in full swing. I was debating with someone from the US on facebook just now about “Contemporary Christian Music” and whether it’s all ungodly rubbish, and found myself asking, why is the [...]

Rob Bell’s book has stirred up a lot of debate and I’ve been conducting a number of debates on facebook with my brother and my niece. You can find their blogs here and here. I feel totally inadequate to face the issues raised. How could a loving God condemn those who reject him to eternity [...]

You can find free downloadable charts of the songs on the same site including one which I really want to [...]
