I have decided that I shall also take a sabbatical from this weekly e-column. I have been writing this column and its predecessors for more than 20 years now, not every week, but most weeks. It makes sense that a serious sabbatical should include my ceasing from this regular responsibility. One

The Christian life is not just a new start; it is a new nature. We are not reformed, but reborn. – John Stott

I was having lunch with some friends when one of them turned to me and asked: “Why is it that there are so many non-Christians who behave more Christianly than many who identify as Christians?” This is a question that raises many more questions, and to answer it would involve content fro
