We’re back from a great couple of weeks in Serbia. The week after a holiday is always a bit of a strange one, lots of catching up – the dam gates of people wanting to meet open up and handling the backlog is tiring. On the plus side England are in the World Cup Quarter Finals, the Tour de France is underway, there’s a Brit still in Wimbledon and it’s still summer.

I’ve said it before but how we use social media is a discipleship issue and if someone in your church is abusive, downright mean, being blocked all over the place then please don’t do nothing, it matters. It matters to them because their heart is getting bent out of shape by what they see in the world. It matters because the reputation of your church will suffer and so will the cause of Christ.
