nukelearfishing – the random and occasionally humorous musings of a Baptist Minister who is trying to be a free sample of Jesus and discover God in the ordinary.

evil is vile but lives
I wonder how you reacted to yesterday’s bloggage (if you read it). Did the title make you think, were your worried, curious or simply dismissive of yet another Nick-gimmick? One of the things that I have pondered since is reason 5, and my answer to it. If believing in God is unfashionable (to say the…

Ten good reasons not to believe in God
I think it is about time we were honest. So this Baptist Minister is giving you ten good reasons why you should not believe in God* and risking being burnt at the stake or excommunicated. Perhaps your reasons are in here somewhere… 1. It’s old fashioned – believing in God is not really a 21st century thing…

One of my reflection moments yesterday was from a book that a good friend gave me when I started my current role. The book is The President’s Devotional by Joshua Dubois and it is a series of daily devotional readings that the author wrote for President Obama. I am following it through each day this year…

a weekend full of blessings
What a weekend I have just had. On Saturday I had the joy and privilege of inducting a Minister, on Sunday morning I preached at one of our churches and in the evening I joined in with a gathering of lots of Christians from Baptist churches in Southend. An Induction is a bit like a…

harumph!?
In case you didn’t realise I was away at a conference for the first three days of this week. While I was there I was checking my emails when I saw an urgent message from someone who needed a relatively instant response from me that I was unable to deal with until I got home.…

from the conference
Today is the second day of the Eastern Baptist Association Ministers’ Conference (#ebaminconf). I have a small problem (or at least the one I am prepared to admit to is small). I have been asked to preach on a particular passage from the Bible at one of our churches in March and one of our…

and the loser is…
I am intrigued by all of the hype and attention that the Academy Awards (aka Oscars) have gained in the news media this morning. There is a lot of triumphant jingoistic celebration of those Brits who have won awards. I am not having a grump about that at all. Well done to them, I say. But…

And relax
I’m going to be enjoying a few days of leave now so no more bloggages this week (stop cheering!). I hope and pray that you will find refreshing activities or rest this week too. You’re worth it. Be blessed, be a blessing
