How Much Proof Is Enough Proof?

Posted on 29th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

I was talking to a lady over breakfast the other day. It was a church breakfast, where some people had been invited who were “casually curious” about matters of faith and the existence of God. I was there to answer any and all questions with grace, and not get too bogged down in the jargon […]

In All Things Give Thanks

Posted on 29th December 201630th July 2019 by Terry Boyle

It was one of those days when everything seems just a tiny bit off. A day when it feels like there’s a grain of sand in your shoe, but it’s not enough to spoil the walk. A day of unexpected glitches and missteps in communication. A day where perspective makes all the difference . . […]

What a Friend We Have

Posted on 29th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

I have been spending a lot of time in John’s Gospel recently. It’s a wonderful book to come back to from time to time. It reminds me a bit of snorkelling – crystal clear shallows revealing the life of Christ in bright detail; and yet all the while knowing that there are mysterious depths of […]

The Forgiveness Tango

Posted on 29th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

I remember seeing a banner hung along the wall of a florist’s shop. Beneath the banner was an array of cut-flower bouquets ranging in price from a few coins to quite a few notes. The banner asked the question: “How Sorry Are You?” We’ve all done it…there’s no point in denying it. We’ve all gone […]

Betwixt and Between

Posted on 29th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

Have you ever read a book in instalments? Perhaps one of those serialised novels the newspapers occasionally publish. The first couple of chapters are enough to get you hooked, and then you have to wait for the next edition of the news to keep on track with the rest of the story. In the meantime […]

An Inconvenient Season

Posted on 29th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

Let me describe a scene for you. World powers jockeying for supremacy at any cost; chaotic and indecisive national leadership; a widespread loss of religious devotion tied to a sudden, rapid decline in morality and ethics. The warning voices of the God-fearing faithful fall on deaf ears, and true justice is thwarted or perverted at […]

Follow Through

Posted on 28th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

My Grandfather’s brother taught me to drive. Uncle Dick was a wiry, chipper little Welshman who had driven lorries for the local council most of his life. “When you indicate, always follow through.” Gear control was important, lane discipline was important, checking your mirrors was important, but most important: “when you indicate, always follow through.” […]

In Moments Like These

Posted on 28th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

At this very moment, as I write these words, I have just returned from the Insight for Living tour of Israel. By every measure it was a great expedition. But you probably know what it’s like coming down from a great expedition – there’s a round-shouldered slump and a sigh as you gather up the […]

As Far as East from West

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

Memory is a tricky thing. Have you ever wondered why you can sometimes recall details of your primary school days with such clarity, while (if you’re at all like me) you can’t always remember what you had for breakfast? Some things are worth remembering, so we take careful measures to make sure we don’t forget […]

A Tried Stone

Posted on 15th December 201610th November 2017 by Terry Boyle

In the groundwork of any significant building project there comes a moment when the foundation stone is laid. Traditionally this stone determines the dimensions and the alignment for the rest of the structure. Particularly in ancient stone buildings – which didn’t often use mortar – getting the foundation stone just right would bode well for […]
