  • Washed Clean

    I saw these lovely old posters in a railway station today and they reminded me of the incredible blessing of being washed clean of sin by the precious blood of Jesus. “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.” Psalm 51:7 No man made soap…

  • Feeling invisible

    Do you sometimes feel invisible? That people just don’t notice you. A visiting preacher from Turkey once told us that Mission begins with Seeing. In chapter 2 of the story of Ruth we read in verse 5 – Boaz said “whose young woman is this?” Ruth who was a foreigner, a stranger, a refugee who…
