Welcome
Hello to you and thanks for visiting our website.
As we enter our Summer with the bursting forth of long hoped for sunshine may I
wish you and yours a peaceful and restful summer period. While we enjoy the
wonderful colours and textures of summer, I wonder if you can imagine yourself
as a thread running through life? What colour would you be? What would you be
made of; silk, wool, synthetic, even optic fibres, what length, how easy to
work?
We are all different but we are all important in the tapestry of life, the
tapestry of God’s purposes and together- as individual threads we are essential
to complete God’s tapestry.
As Christians we often struggle to see how the Old and New Testament fit
together, like a tapestry that’s in progress, you can see what has gone before
but you can’t imagine the finished article. With every thread necessary and
every length and texture essential to complete the work The Holy Bible is
exactly the same- very part of scripture is God Breathed and it’s integrated
with a running thread!
2 Timothy 3: 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,
rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may
be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Accepting this and being excited by it might lead us into a newer, deeper
journey with God! So when you are looking for that new paperback to read this
Summer, why don’t you also, alongside it, pick up The Living Word and be
refreshed and renewed by God Himself.
After all you're part of the
story: “My peace I give into you”.
Rev. Arthur Christie

past - a miners safety lamp and above a plain cross, given in memory of a
