		<description><![CDATA[One of the advantages of not ‘growing up’ in a Vineyard context lies in approaching any discussion of its core values largely free of presuppositions. ‘Re-imagining’ Vineyard values (the reflective series within which this was originally posted) is therefore perhaps something of an overstatement. A corresponding disadvantage, though, lies in having only a second-hand understanding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Faith clearly lies at the heart of Christianity.  The Bible commends those with faith (e.g. Jas 1:6) and indicates a connection between faith and answers to prayer.  Some scriptures suggest that there is a proportionality between the quantity of our faith and the scale of the prayers we can expect to be answered (e.g. Matt [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just came across this on Twitter: “Seen on a bumper sticker: ‘Jesus is the answer’.  Remind me again – what was the question?”
It made me think about how Christianity traditionally articulates the ‘question’ and explains the way in which Jesus is the ‘answer’.
The Christian good news – or ‘gospel’ – has often been told [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recurring flaw of charismatic Christian thinking is its tendency to divide between &#8217;spiritual&#8217; and &#8217;secular&#8217;.   Many have been taught, either directly or by inference,  that there are two realms of existence &#8211; the earthly realm and the spiritual realm.  That  &#8216;earthly&#8217; matters and the physical realm &#8216;below&#8217;  are human and fundamentally &#8216;unspiritual&#8217;, whereas &#8216;heavenly&#8217; matters [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many Christians, the goal of the transformative work they understand God wants to do in their lives is to be increasingly like Jesus.  This worthy ambition is not, however, without its challenges.  In particular, it requires us to apply ‘hermeneutics’ (the principles and practice of interpretation) to the biblical materials, for we have a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the October edition of Christianity Magazine (to which I have just subscribed and, on the evidence so far, I would recommend to others) there is an excellent article by the venerable RT Kendall (formerly minister of Westminster Chapel) entitled &#8220;God Told Me&#8221; &#8211; Really? 
It&#8217;s aimed at the charismatic tendency to use (if not massively [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This will be the last of my posts exploring an emerging theology of the Spirit in a ‘post-charismatic’ world.
Let me first be clear that by ‘post-charismatic’ world, I do not mean a world devoid of the Spirit’s personal presence and tangible activity.  I am committed to the belief that the Spirit is present in this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Inherent in the title of this series of blogs is our ‘imagining’ of the Holy Spirit, since we cannot &#8216;re-imagine&#8217; except in relation to how we currently imagine.  We need therefore to ask ourselves: “How do we presently imagine the Spirit?” and to identify the influences reflected in it.
It is useful at the outset to [...]]]></description>
