So I went snowboarding, twice. And twice just as I thought I was nailing it, I crashed, hard. Got a sore back today which is the peril of an old dog trying to learn a new trick. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!
You Should Read These
As per usual here are 7 articles that I think are worth you bookmarking, reading & thinking about.
- Heschel on the Joys of Slowness. I really liked this: “…weekly rest is not about taking a break from the world around us, but instead about experiencing the joys of the world to come. It aims to makes the current moment more holy, not to render future moments more efficient.”
- Seeing in Colour. A lovely reflection from Tim Suffield. “I’ve often pondered how I might respond that first moment in the new creation, when the cones in my eyes can perceive all the wavelengths of light like yours probably can. I assume a breath of wonder that what I thought was a richly marvellous world shot through with God’s glory was significantly more beautiful than I had previously realised.”
- But Where Is The Peace? Harvey Kwiyani asks an important question and this paragraph hits hard. “Talking about the genocide in Rwanda, Emmanuel Katongole said, “the blood of tribalism runs deeper than the waters of baptism.” For many of us today, we can say that the blood of nationalism runs deeper than the waters of baptism. This should not be. If indeed blessed are the peacemakers, where is the peace?“
- Ignorance, Vincible and invincible. How’s this for a killer line? “The smartphone era is bad for boys, but it’s nightmarish for girls.”
- You Wear Only One Leadership Hat.
- How many books will you read before you die? Not enough, surely.
- All 10 regions that will make up Neom now revealed. Brilliant, bold, beautiful, and utterly, utterly bonkers.

So while not everything is missional, setting up your home for hospitality, friendship and having people in it, most definitely is. If you kit out your home so it works for just your family you’ve not been thinking properly about what you’re doing or the importance of your home in doing it. The most important asset any church planter has for years is their home, so make sure it works to help you with your mission.
