Jesus is revealed to us throughout the Scriptures. I don’t mean this irreverently, but it reminds me of the ‘Where’s Wally?’ series. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this, it is a series of picture books in which every page hides a little character called Wally. The aim is to run your eyes over the entire page from corner to corner until you can spot him. Well, it’s a little like that with finding Jesus hidden in the…
I just read an article that highlighted five signs of ‘Progressive Christianity’. I’d never heard that term before. The article was interesting and informative and when it exampled sentences or expressions that might come out of this movement, I realised I have actually heard of it before but didn’t know there was a name for it. However, what I found interesting was that the article stated how ‘Progressive Christianity’ had moved away from “the heart of the gospel being sin and redemption” to now…
Sometimes when I imagine what the gospel sounds like to someone who’s never heard it before, I guess it would sound a little like a comic book, like science fiction. Accepting that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came into time from outside of time, Eternity, and saved the human race sounds like a science fiction movie. An awesome one, at that.

What’s ‘church-hopping’ all about? “Don’t be a church-hopper” I was always hearing. “Oh you know them, they’re church-hoppers, they never stay in the one place for long….”people would say. “They’re not stayers….they’re always moving around”. *By the word ‘church’ in this context, I am referring to the building/denomination where you attend a Sunday or Saturday service to hear a sermon and sing worship and praise songs etc, in the company of a congregation where there are positions of authority and…

Welcome to Drawing From The Well’s first-ever Guest Blog post! Yup, I’m a dog. My name is Rocky, and Donna is my mother. The way I came to be a guest blogger is, I noticed she’s become very busy lately, in her office. So I trotted on in there one day and asked just what she was up to. Well, I was so intrigued that we decided it might be fun for me to interview her! (tail wagging). We had…
