When a Pastor falls – response to Gospel Coalition.
by i.burgess on September 27, 2010
Last week yet another evangelical scandal spread over the Internet. It was even a trending topic on Twitter where I am. Eddie Long, the head pastor for New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, has been accused of engaging in sexual activity with three young men in his congregation. In fact he is accused of coercing them [...]
God to the rescue
by i.burgess on September 23, 2010
So today I have been looking through Psalm 3 in preparation for a small group bible study this Sunday. I help to run the youth group at the Church I work at (narrowly avoided calling myself a ‘youth pastor’ there, did you notice?). This Sunday I am going to share my story with the young [...]
Of Popes and Mosques
by i.burgess on September 21, 2010
There has been trouble at home and the colonies in recent weeks. Back in the Motherland there has been much media upset over the Pope’s four day state visit to the UK.

Jesus: More iPad than Macbook
by i.burgess on September 15, 2010

Welcome the new week (and holiday in the US) by making a bright cheery photo outdoors and posting it today. Summer is coming to an end, though this is no cause for despair. There is still a light in the sky above and still a light before our feet. May I not treasure the sunshine [...]

I’m taking part in the Eyes of Faith photo challenge. At the moment, I only have my phone camera but I hope as the year progresses, I’ll become a better Photographer. Make a monochromoe photograph today. Either use a single color subject/background or make it monochrome in post. I see God here at my place [...]
Church like McDonalds
by i.burgess on September 1, 2010
Upon arriving in my new location, Maryland, three things struck me within the first week. The heat. The food The religion It is so, so hot here. My English readers may hate me a little for that, but I promise you I’m not enjoying the heat. The weather widget on my computer tells me it’s going to [...]
