No One Starts with a Dream Team
Everyone starts with a BORROWED TEAM. It looks like your team- they’re committed, they’re strong, they’re experienced- but they’re not yours. Someone else formed them....
The Hit Factory
Every Church needs to be a Hit Factory – a place where you inner tunes are discovered, detached from the discords of fear and doubt, placed together with rhythms of grace and united with the X Factor of Heaven.
Why Love Languages Don’t Work
Usually, depending upon our personality type, each of us has a ‘love language’ that means the world to us. It’s a way of communicating, not necessarily through words, that leaves us feeling valued and incredibly special. However, it’s when your demand for your ‘loved one’ to speak your own particular love language increases that the relationship usually begins to unravel rather than strengthen.
The Third Culture
Have you ever baulked when someone has asked you ‘Where are you from?’ For so many the answer is complicated! Your normal response is, ‘then we moved to…then we moved to…’. You are probably what they call a ‘Third Culture Kid’ (3CK)!
Jesus was an Introvert – Expelling the myth of macho
In recent times there’s been a movement within the church luring Jesus into the category of alpha male. They cite that many men stay away from church because they view it as a ‘ladies club’, prompting a number of church leaders to attempt to take Jesus out of the limp wristed, semi-geeky and semi-camp imagery and more into a macho, ‘carpentered up’ image of ‘who he really was and is.’ But, is it based on scripture or is it a misdiagnosis of the reason why there’s more women in church than men?
Footprints In The Sand – Revisited
Most Christian homes have one. It’s either found on a mug, a fridge magnet or in the bathroom! Can you guess what it is yet? It’s a copy of ‘Footprints in the Sand’. I’ve decided that even though it’s the most popular piece of Christian literature outside of the Bible itself, it’s a sacred cow and I don’t like it.
My Review on Rob Bell’s ‘Love Wins’
Firstly, I need to say that I like Rob Bell. I cried as I turned the empty pages at the close of ‘Drops Like Stars’. He’s a thinker, a lover of people and a Christian leader of our age. It’s this third Characteristic that has led me to write this short article… Rob has a problem that I have also grappled with (and who in their right mind wouldn’t?). How can a good God send good people to Hell forever? When we say ‘good people’, we mean people that work an honest living, raise an honest family and really care for the world around them. Rob’s answer is to adjust the nature of God, adjust the true nature of people and to adjust the means through which we must all come to God.

The Mind Map Tourist Handbook – Ebook Taster
The Mind Map Small Group Studies are designed to be used in a small group setting. We’ve designed each Small Group meeting to begin with a 10-minute DVD episode followed by a 35-minute study. Each episode looks at one aspect of the renewing of the Mind from Romans 12:2, and gives great practical help in lining up the commitments of the Mind with the convictions of the spirit.
Sacred Cows Make Great BBQ’s E-Book Taster
Dave Gilpin has discovered that when he’s going through troubled times the one set of footprints in the sand the ‘one set of footprints’ in the sand are not the foot prints of Jesus but his own size 10’s. Someone’s telling porkies! God wants to create strong champions not needy children. Since then Dave has discovered other sacred cows grazing in the fields of our faith.

Rage Against Beige E-book
Rage Against Beige is a collection of well known poems, songs, sayings and quotes which have been slightly altered to aide Dave Gilpin to voice his displeasure for the colour beige! The book was bought by the Ikea British head office in 2007 for a marketing campaign. It’s a bit of fun but should provoke readers to make sure that they are adding splashes of colour to all they do.
