Where's the catch?
But why doesn’t God simply get rid of the injustice and suffering in our world? This is a question we’ve heard and, perhaps, asked ourselves. I was thinking about this recently, when climbing with Caleb, my seven-year-old son. Far from an avid climber, I will dabble when the rock-face is made of…

Breaking down barriers
But, what if someone cannot access courts or advice and the protection they may offer? In this case, access to justice becomes as much an issue as the laws themselves. Bearing this in mind, how have Christians, children of a just God, approached this issue of access to justice and the problems…

God’s greatest rescue plan
The girls, Isla and Eilidh, were on the beach when they heard the toddler crying and saw the man, who had his son on his shoulders, in trouble. The older girl swam out to them on her lilo and helped them to shore, while the younger one went back to get her phone. In life, some dangers are so clear…
Public leadership: Seeking God’s kingdom first
A foodbank, a new business venture, mums and tots in the portacabin at church, recycling your plastic bottles. A teacher bringing knowledge to her students, a lawyer fighting for justice, a nurse compassionately binding up wounds. Kingdom seems to be used as a neat shorthand for everything we used…

Public leadership: Look back to go forward
Surely, it is the present that leaders need to understand not the past? But, what if we understood history as a vital matter of identity? What if history were a necessary part of generating a rich missional imagination for what public leaders might achieve today? For the last 2000 years Christians…

Do not be afraid
Then, as a colleague followed me into the room and was treated to the same greeting, I realised that there was nothing special about me on this particular Wednesday morning, just that the Evangelical Alliance team was feeling full of life, warmth and enthusiasm, and wanted to share the love with…

Thank you and goodbye from Steve Clifford
As I write, I do so with a whole mixture of emotions. It’s now 10 years since I took on this role, and I regard it as an amazing privilege to have been called by God to serve Him and His church within the Evangelical Alliance. I’m incredibly thankful to God for all that has been achieved over the…
Reaching young adults: a journey of hope, not despair

A time to rest
By now all the holidays are over with: the kids are back in school; students are starting to head back to university; and the rest of us are settling back into our usual routines and rhythms. The train carriage has been fuller this week than it was over the summer, and in the city centre…

Magnificently mundane
The post-holiday blues have led me to reflect more on the value of the everyday, ordinary activities of life, however. They’ve even caused me to try and embrace the mundane. Social media can make it seem like life is one big, ‘instagrammable’ adventure. Yet, at least in my experience, the majority…
