The new dragon on Old MacDonald's farm puts all the other animals, and the farmer, in peril.

I guess every believer is conscious of wanting to go further with God, to dig deeper, and to climb higher. Paul himself said, "Not that I have already arrived, but I press on..." But the New Testament, whilst stating that qualification, also provides an astonishing optimism of grace - a marvellous confidence that God can do "all things" in and through us. The little book of Colossians expresses that confidence to a high degree. The writer is n...

This book started life as a series of talks on Hebrews 11 on the nature and practice of faith. It was a time of change in our local church: a change in leadership, a change in building and -even more significantly-a shift in what may be called an "ideology of purpose." By this phrase, I refer to a corporate sense of journeying, a fluid spirituality of mobility. We began increasingly to define ourselves as the People of God on the Move, not bo...

This little book is a series of discussion starters designed to accompany the Theology Lectures of Elim Academy, Dublin. It is written from the conviction that theology should be "hands-on" and accessible, street-level, and centered in Grace, rather than "laying down the law." As Pope Francis put it: "Grace is not part of consciousness, it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.

The Bible says, "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." This little book is a day-to-day collection of Bible verses with which to start your day with the Lord.It is based upon the theme of "The God of More than Enough." God is our supplier and provider and promises never to let us down.

Through Fire and Water is the first of four novels based upon the life of Kathleen Bewley (née Kelly), charting her story from 1915 to 1923. This forms the context for giving an account of the beginnings of the Elim movement and the wider story of Pentecostalism in Britain and Ireland. 2015 is the hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Elim Movement, whose beginnings can be fairly traced to a single tent crusade in a field outside Mona...

This book is a cave of old echoes, a journal of quotes and thoughts from many years of reading, praying and considering. It comes down to forty short reflections on what is important in this business of being alive. The reflections emerge from what -in the old-fashioned term to which I am still addicted- I call "Morning Quiet Times." I was asked to provide a series of three-minute reflective clips for radio and so have been glad to extract th...

This is a compilation of four previously published, rather slenderer books, entitled The God of More than Enough, Christ the Hope of Glory, According to the Power and This Hope we Have. It appears now by popular request in one volume to encourage the reading and reflection on God's word every morning. It also contains the revised script of an E-book from some years back, entitled "First Thoughts: Be My First Thought in the Morning." As a co...

Taking one Psalm for a whole month requires calm development of the skill of listening. But Ken's conviction is that God loves to speak to us. It requires a conscious recognition of one's prejudices and preconceived ideas, and then a dropping of one's guard. God, you will find, is happy to work with us where we are. Hebrews begins with an acknowledgment that "In many and various ways" he spoke in times past. He speaks the same Word, but there...

The book of Joshua contains the ancient account of the People of Israel's entry into the "Promised Land" after the death of Moses, under Joshua, the newly chosen leader, and the settling of the land under their occupation. This is a devotional day-by-day study through the Biblical text, taking about a month, to ask the title question "What do these stones mean?" Joshua's stone marker was intended to provoke a few questions that this little boo...

God must build our anointing strong, so He can lay His glory thick." (Alisa Hope Wagner) But what is the Anointing? In this little book, the author examines Isaiah's prophecy (in chapter 61) and makes the challenge that the anointing that Jesus claimed for Himself at the beginning of His ministry is ours too, if we are in Christ. In Christ, we come into a wonderful new liberty of joy and praise. It's the anointing, that breaks every last ves...

In this lecture, we will consider the work of the Quakers in relation to the Potato Famine during the years 1845-1848 with particular reference to County Cork. There are a few preliminary notes to make. First, just who were the Quakers? In answer to this question, we'll investigate their origin and development in Bandon (as an important West Cork market town) during the last years of the seventeenth century and into the next century. Second,...

This book provides a unique and current look at the process of discovery in the field of crop protection. As many plants are able to resist various control agents, it is necessary to look for entirely new active types of compounds. The book examines combinatorial chemistry approaches, long used in medicinal discovery, to find new agrochemical types. Applications in modifying plants to provide their own crop protection or enhanced yield and qua...

When I came to preach and teach on the book of Nehemiah, a friend of mine -David Crawford-Bixby- suggested the word "Blueprint" and I've found it an illuminating suggestion. For not only was Nehemiah a capable project manager who must have dealt with some ancient version of the blueprint in his construction work, but the word itself forms a parable of how God dealt with him. As we shall see, the character of Nehemiah is at the heart of the boo...

The Apostle Paul associated life "in the Spirit" with changes in the "mind" (Rom 8) and urged believers to be "transformed" by the renewing of their minds (Rom 12:2), "and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness." (Eph 4:17-23).This book is a pastoral analysis of how that works. It seeks to look practically at the radical change envisaged in the New Testament. The word Paul uses repeatedly f...
