A Compass For Our Changing World

We’re a couple of months into another new year, and we’re already getting some surprises. It’s hard to tell exactly what the rest of the year will bring, but one thing is certain: the world is changing fast. Culture is changing. Economics are changing. Demographics are changing. Beliefs are changing. As the world shifts around…

Finding A Bigger Story

This post is written by Isabel Quinlan, who shared her story with our Bible study group recently. Isabel also writes a blog at https://isabelquinlanblog.wordpress.com “Ruairí wants to go in there” my 2 year old said excitedly, prodding the picture of a farm in the board book i was reading him.

The message is more important, and more transformative, than anything ever written before or since. But although this book is the ultimate…

Hope > Optimism

I hope you have a happy Christmas, or a merry Christmas if you say it that way, and a happy New Year. I hope your celebrations this month are trouble-free and full of joy, and I hope 2023 is better for you than 2022. Of course there’s probably nothing I can do to actually make…
