Welcome to my world...

Am I still fiery? I certainly hope so. I still believe that God wants to do far, far more than we are allowing him to do. I still believe his biggest problem is the Church. I still believe that one of his desires is to use the Church of England far more than it has allowed him to do. So I’m passionate about those things and I get very steamed up about them.

I was on the road as a traveling evangelist for close to 20 years. I felt that all too often Jesus was represented merely as a kind of conductor on the bus to heaven, doling out tickets that other people were paying for. And in fact, of course, he paid for the tickets. Real Christianity isn’t about getting a ticket for heaven. Real Christianity is about a passionate commitment to Jesus that means he comes top of your list and heaven would be the most natural progression when you die because you’ve been living there for decades anyway with him. So that’s the kind of Christianity I want to see happen, I want to see heaven released on earth.
