Action isn't a burden to be hoisted up and lugged around on our shoulders. It is something we are. The work we have to do can be seen as a kind of coming alive.

The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life.

So I visited our church in the beautiful Hertfordshire village of Ashwell right on the edge of our Synod area. Great to meet with my colleague Jim and prepare for our 'Art in Plain Sight' to start there soon. Also good to hear about the life and witness of this and other local congregations.

We should not decide how to pray based on the experiences & feelings we want. Instead, we should do everything possible to behold our God as he is, & prayer will follow. The more clearly we grasp who God is, the more our prayer is shaped & determined accordingly
