Love the way you always get it across in an easy to understand way. It has helped us re focus on the general call that God has called all christians to do believing that by doing so his specific will and purpose will be revealed to us. It was really encouraging to hear your testimony of how God directed your steps. Great Stuff Gavin.

The love the idea Gavin is exploring of the will of God being in so much of the stuff God has already revealed. If we learned to grow and go... what a difference it would make. Too many see the will of God as a place, an event, a ministry... all of which are really important... but if we saw the will of God also as a life well lived, then perhaps the place, even and ministry would slot into place so much easier. Keep preaching it Gavin... excellent stuff. Living the dream John A Lovin’ the series. The love the idea Gavin is exploring of the will of God being in so much of the stuff God has already revealed.

Unfortunately I did not get to listen to Gavin last Sunday as my kids where being noisy & so took then out of the main hall. So I logged on today to listen to the podcast & unfortunately its not on yet so I look forward to when it does. However I have just listened to the final session from John Andrews as again I had the kids with my that week. From that and reading Gavin's home page I think I am trying to walk before I can run. I seem to go through stages where one month I am in the bible every day & praying everyday and although life is good I then get frustrated as if by magic a sign will pop up & tell me exactly what to do & then my busy life takes over and once I have been away from the bible for a few days I seem to find it hard to get back in to it & my busy hectic life takes over for a few weeks. I find it really hard to not allow that to happen with so much going on all the time. But what I possibly need to realise is that maybe the answer to my question is that right now what God wants from me is me. I am going to really try hard to kepp staying focused with Gods word. I need to think about how I can do more as a christian. I have never thought about the fact that unless you do something you don't believe in it and maybe there's a lot I say I believe in but don't actually do. So one step at a time, firstly try learn from the bible. Then live by what I learn & hopefully this will then help be to live out God's general will & then maybe God will show me the next step.

It's been photographed at such a high resolution that you can zoom in and see more detail than you would if you could hold it up to your face! The site is not working too well today, as there are so many visitors, but it's something every follower of Jesus should see, even if "it's all Greek" to you. Speaking of which - I thought I'd kept my Greek fairly current since Mattersey - but the difficulty I had making sense of this has made it clear what a debt we owe to the scholars who work with the text at this level.

I have just finished Matthew and I have so enjoyed it. It has given me a much greater understanding of Matthew. I can't wait to start on Mark. I found some of them in Zim in November (there are 7 books in the set) and was praying for the rest and lo and behold in the same shop in May they only had the ones I needed! I was so delighted to have the whole set. Praise God. He is so gracious. I have also really enjoyed your series and learnt from that too.
