One exam to go. New Testament Greek.
They said Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Hello, my name is Robin. Welcome to That Happy Certainty, where I write and collate on Christianity, culture, and ministry. I’m based in Barrow-in-Furness in South Cumbria, England, where I serve a church family called St Paul’s Barrow, recently merged together from two existing churches, St Paul’s Church and Grace Church Barrow.
A fresh look at Advent through the book of Ruth. Why not order a bunch for your church to read through Advent together here. 100 for £1 each!
And you know what, that’s just peachy.Wasn’t it Augustine who said:”By faithfulness we are collected and wound up into unity within ourselves, whereas we had been scattered abroad in multiplicity”?And I believe it was Tozer who said:”One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always.”So what was the point you were making? Something about essentials? Something about unity? Maybe you weren’t making a point. I don’t know, you just got me thinking.I hope your exam goes/went well.
