It’s nearly 4 years since a few folk in Hampshire were emailing one another about the Florida Outpouring and which resulted in my keeping friends updated on events, the Middle East in particular. Funnily enough both places are again ‘hotting up’ – but more on that later.

Currently, I’m preparing Nina’s published testimony of healing for this blog. This is sooner than planned but is in response to the ruling by the Advertising Standards Authority against pamphlets for Healing On The Streets – as announced in Bath, where Nina received her healing. (This issue surfaced last week; see below).

One of my aims is to encourage believers to become more well-informed and take a stand against the encroaching antichrist culture in our nation. Hence, my occasional references to the work of Christian Concern, Barnabas Fund, ‘His Grace’ Cranmer here and to several other Christian and secular sources overseas.

In my opinion its becoming more important to not only keep abreast of developments but also be in closer and regular contact with a network of fellow believers as much as we possibly can.  Therefore, let me recommend the following blogs whom I’ve found to be solid, articulate Christian writers:

Stuart James’ Echurch blog  >  offers a number of daily postings on a variety of sources and acts as a lively forum for believers, not-yet believers and atheists, especially from the high-church end of the spectrum. (Stuart, wherever do you get the time?)

I’ve engaged in discussion on his site several times, EVEN unwittingly at the same time as one of your fellow readers over an issue, which is very informative for another in Ghana!

Gillan Scott’s GodandPoliticsUK blog > a relatively new blog giving a sound Christian consideration of daily politics. His posting about the ASA is well-informed with useful comments and drew my attention to the issue.

Peter Kirk’s Gentle Wisdom blog > an erudite chap who pens meaty but easily digestible articles with a dash of theological salt and occasional eschatological pepper. I found his succinct series on different streams within the church under the theme Cross of Resurrection? refreshingly instructive.

If you do have time to swim and not just surf the web and would like to take a dip, here are brief but better informed introductions:

> To Archbishop Cranmer

> To Echurch

> T God&Politics (includes comments from yours truly)

> To Gentle Wisdom

I offer these not for any reciprocity whatsoever but for the sake of everyone being more informed. I heartily thank you gentlemen for your encouragement and, readers, for your valuable time…
