One to One Ministry – what's that all about then?

If you’ve never come across it before the idea of meeting ‘one to one’ or “to do a one to one” might either sound a little bit odd or  just a bit too intimate. And yet the phrase seems to have recently become popular vocabulary amongst churches and Christian ministry across the UK.

I can think of lots of friends who testify to ‘one to ones’ being precious times of personal growth, both in learning to read the Bible for themselves, and in getting to know Jesus and going deeper into Christian discipleship.

In this helpful video below my friend Amy talks about why meeting up to dig into the Bible with someone ‘one to one’ is a brilliant thing, as well as explaining what it might actually involve.

Gospel Ministry, Law, 2 Timothy, john berridge

Berridge and Romans 7…

“Run, John, run,” the law commands
But gives me neither feet nor hands.
Yet better news the gospel brings;
It bids me fly and gives me wings.

– After John Berridge (1716-1793)

Also:

A complaint was lodged against him, and the bishop sent for him and reproved him for preaching “at all hours and on all days.” “My lord,” said he, modestly, “I preach only at two seasons.” “Which are they, Mr. Berridge?” “In season and out of season, my lord.” [taken from biog here]

Truth Claims are banned???


Halfway through the KCLMS CU’s week of events, and we’re facing upto having been told by college authorities to change the name of our lunchtime talks on all publicity, so that they
no longer make truth claims.

It strikes us all as a little odd that a truth claim can be so threatening that a univeristy society made up of around forty students in a college full of thousands is required to turn objective statements to fence-sitting questions.

It was nearly two years ago now, but this letter from Richard Cunningham, Director of UCCF, to the Guardian newspaper, is well worth a read on the importance of freedom of speech meaning exactly that, whether your chosen belief is a subjective haphazard approach to the world or whether you have an actual opinion. All the more stunning given we’re dealing with the context of the university.

“If we could be fully persuaded that we are in the good grace of God, that our sins are forgiven, that we have the Spirit of Christ, that we are the beloved children of God, we would be ever so happy and grateful to God. But because we often fear and doubt we cannot come to that happy certainty.”
- Martin Luther
