Cross fire
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (John 10:10) I’ve had a picture in my head recently of the front of a boat ploughing through blue waves in bright sunshine. Suddenly a cannonball fires from an unseen force…

You are a letter from Christ himself!
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. (2 Corinthians 3: 2-3)…

Revisiting the shepherds
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terribly frightened.” Luke 2: 8-9 I felt reluctant to put this Bible…
