The Three Constants of the Great Commission present in the first five books of the NT

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:37 pm   By Adrian Warnock

Bob Roberts (one of our speakers at the next 300 leaders) has a great post today entitled The Three Constants of the Great Commission: “First – the coming of the Holy Spirit which is the power to fulfill the Great Commission.  It is present in all passages from baptizing in the name of the “Father, Son & Holy Spirit” to being “clothed with power from on high” to “signs and wonders” that go as the Gospel is spread.  The lesson... Read more

Tope Koleoso on grace

Last updated on: October 14, 2017 at 9:08 pm   By Adrian Warnock

For the last few weeks my pastor, Tope Koleoso, has been preaching a series on grace. It has been outstanding and many have had a fresh revelation of issues like our identity as saints, rather than sinners, of imputed righteousness, and of how we can grow more like Jesus. He finished yesterday with a summary of the series and a clear word on the imperative of forgiveness. I encourage you to watch it here, or visit the Jubilee site for... Read more

Get over yourself, and get impressed with God – Institutes of the Christian Religion

Last updated on: November 25, 2011 at 7:30 pm   By Adrian Warnock

Amazon’s Kindle website gives an interesting snapshot of books by sharing the post popular highlights by people using Kindle software to read a book. Generally you get a good impression of a book, and it’s most striking themes. This is certainly true with Calvin’s Institutes, where his desire to point us away from ourselves and towards a God who is infinitely better than us rings out loud and clear. Here are some examples of popular quotes: we cannot aspire to... Read more

Roland Allen and modern Missional and Apostolic ideals

Last updated on: November 18, 2025 at 3:23 pm   By Adrian Warnock

It is almost 100 years since Roland Allen published his at the time intensely controversial book, Missionary Methods, ours or St Pauls?  It is a book that has been strikingly influential with today both those from the “missional” wing of the church and is still cited and read both by those who advocate a return to the “New Testament Model of the Church” and modern day apostles.  It is a book that is well worth reading, but it is one... Read more

Behind the Scenes with Giants

Wendy Virgo’s blog about her recent time with her husband, Bob Roberts, and some other key Christian leaders is well worth a read, here is an extract: A few days ago I was travelling in a van with a bishop from Mombasa, a church leader from Cote d’Ivoire, a Christian Palestinian, a converted Muslim now church planter from Bangladesh, an Indian pastor from Tamil Nadu among others. The people in that car represented about 3 million Christians around the world.... Read more

An Old Poem on the paradox of so-called "freedom"

Last updated on: November 14, 2011 at 7:38 pm   By Adrian Warnock

When I was younger I used to write poems. I can’t remember the last time that I wrote one. I found this when doing some clearing up yesterday at home. I have to try and tidy the room that has doubled as a family “den” and my study so that we can get my son Henry in there soon as it is now going to be his bedroom. One major advantage of tidying (tho it does not come easy to... Read more

Billy Graham quote for Remembrance Day / Veterans Day / Armistice Day

Last updated on: February 21, 2018 at 1:45 pm   By Adrian Warnock

Billy Graham has brought definition to evangelicalism for decades. Here is a great quote from a great article that is apposite for today: From time to time we have had the opportunity to visit veterans’ hospitals. After a service, we’ve gone from bed to bed talking and praying with the patients. Many of these people feel neglected. They have lost limbs, eyesight or health in service to their country. Some have been in the hospital for years and will remain... Read more

Should the Church be Led by Teachers and Scholars?

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 6:54 am   By Adrian Warnock

Donald Miller raises an interesting question in this blogpost: The church in America is led by scholars. Essentially, the church is a robust school system created around a framework of lectures and discussions and study. We assume this is the way its supposed to be because this is all we have ever known. I think the scholars have done a good job, but they’ve also recreated the church in their own image. Churches are essentially schools. They look like schools... Read more
