Why football fans should put us to shame.

Marseille is over 700 Miles from Guingamp, yet, many fans have made the trip for the game today. One of the Costco staff in Cardiff used to travel to Manchester regularly to support his team and would come back in the night to be back in work the next morning.

And we find it difficult to get up on Sunday morning, go out again in the evening, and get to the midweek meeting. We also find it difficult to part of our money for the Lord’s work.

These people don’t have any problems to travel or spend money (sometimes a lot of it) to support their favourite team.

There is something seriously wrong with us Christians. Isn’t the living God worth it all?

Westminster Shorter Catechism Flash Cards

A few years ago, I learned the shorter catechism. It was a worthwhile exercise, but needs constant practice. I just found someone who has mad a set of flash cards, ready to print to help learning the 107 questions. To find these, follow the link: Westminster Shorter Catechism Flash Cards | D A N G I T B I L L !.

Knowing the catechism proves helpful in many circumstances: when listening to sermons, when preaching, doing Bible studies, talking with a fellow Christian… Reading through Stuart Olyott’s “Preaching pure and simple”, I could see the influence of the shorter catechism on more than one occasions when he explains some doctrines.
