And yet, sometimes (in fact, usually) our message may fall on deaf ears – and we may wonder whether the time, effort and money was worth it. But the answer to that question is always a resounding “yes” – because all our… Read More Preaching in a modern UK or modern Europe
Why not going to Shunem or Hyderabad for helping many in need
It is a long time ago that I tried to help some people in India to get to know Christ and his God. At first, I was a (non-trinitarian) Baptist but got people baptised in Christadelphianism, before I myself also decided to become a Christadelphian, going out that denomination with thousands of my Baptist brethren… Read More Why not going to Shunem or Hyderabad for helping many in need
1st thought for today “The world may be wicked” (January 16)

Concerning administrative and preaching style of Christadelphians
Peter Ojike writes: Looking back, I think our administrative style and other factors has not helped us spread the gospel as we understand it to other people. Compared to Church of Christ, JW, Mormons, etc, we have had a very slow growth rate. I suggest a drastic reformation on our style so that we can… Read More Concerning administrative and preaching style of Christadelphians
Why not quoting more from well-known theologians
Often we get negative reactions on our replies, using so many bible verses and not having words of the many theologians from the past. We do find that the Bible says it all. There may have been lots of people who call themselves or who are called theologians, but we trust on it that the… Read More Why not quoting more from well-known theologians
Fullness of summer and abundance of harvest found in the satisfying plenitude of life in Christ

Thought for August 15: Mothers Day
Tomorrow several families shall come together to celebrate their mother and to remember the grandmothers. Without the mother there can not be a family. 15 August is that one day of the year we put her at a height. Much too often we caused her pain or gave her a lot of sorrows. Luckily most… Read More Thought for August 15: Mothers Day
Brothers and sisters in Christ for you
