Playing with the Box

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

It’s been a while now, but I can still remember the worst Christmas present I ever gave my wife. What was I thinking? Idiot! So don’t worry, this isn’t going to be one of those pieces about finding that perfect gift for the one you love. If you had been there on that fateful morning, […]

What Did They Think They Were Doing?

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

When people listened to the prophets of the Old Testament, things went well. When the prophets were disregarded, ignored, or even done away with, things went badly wrong. That much seems to make sense. But if you track the spiritual trajectory of the nation of Israel, it’s like that of a schoolboy’s paper aeroplane – […]

Upholding the Family Reputation

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. These words from John’s first letter to the church make a very plain point. We become part of a new family when we believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. Not a hobby […]

Turning It Around

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

I have had the privilege of solemnising a wedding in Scotland. What a delight! The skirl of the pipes, the crisp northern air, friendly and hospitable people, and of course, the giddy enthusiasm of newlyweds on their great day. In one of the few quiet moments that weekend I remembered watching the New Year’s TV […]

Transformed!

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

When my children were little, a new kind of toy hit the market. A car or a lorry or some other vehicle that could – with a few deft twists – be transformed into a robot or a plane or a rocket-ship. What fun! Except that only six-year-olds could work them. The kids would sigh […]

Truth with Tenderness

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

There’s a song by Paul Simon with a line that is worth noting. Now I don’t consider “Rhymin’ Simon” to be one of the great theologians of our time, but in this instance at least he stumbled into a trustworthy saying: you don’t have to lie to me, just give me some tenderness beneath your […]

The Wellspring of Eternal Life

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life. There’s an important truth in this statement from the lips of Jesus; one that we as Bible-believing Christians must not miss. Eternal […]

Taste and See

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

I don’t know how you plan your shopping, but if you ever do a big shop in a supermarket, you’ll probably come across someone offering samples of this and that. If you time it right you can eat a pretty good lunch just by wandering up and down the aisles looking lost (which happens to […]

Sharper than a Two-Edged Sword

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

Just between you and me, I have always been a little bit nervous about Hebrews 4:12. The thought of being probed by a sharp sword isn’t the most comfortable of ideas. “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of […]

Seasoned Wisdom for the Seasons of Life

Posted on 23rd January 201710th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

If you were told that you could have dinner with three people out of anyone you could name – the chance to bounce questions; to float ideas; to gain some understanding – whom would you choose? One of my choices would be Solomon. What a character he must have been! What stories he could tell, […]
