As I sit and wait before my first meeting of the date, my mind is thinking of many things. These include was "was my son really 12 yesterday, it only seems 5 minutes since he was born" and then I briefly think that of many of the things that have happened in that time and think there was more than enough to fill 2 or 3 life times.

I am thinking of the nature of grace. After the success of IgniteHope I am considering some of the people who chose not to be involved or really where quite against it. The old man in me wants to either bay for their blood or ignore them. The road of Christ is I think one that challenges me to discover how I reach out to them.

I am a fortunate man, fantastic wife, amazing kids, blessed ministry and a great church.

Yesterday in City Temple Cardiff, John Coles of New Wine spoke on Mark 1: 15 "The time has come," he said. "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" It was a sermon in season. In particular in thinking about what the kingdom of God is now. How our world is in darkness and as Christians it is our place to usher in light. So we cannot expect it to be light unless we do something about it!
So what is my role in all of this?

Have a great week!
