Quote of the Day

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Faith Lift

With JJohnjjohn.jpg

A comedian was once asked what he would like people to say about him in 100 years’ time and he replied, ‘I’d like them to say, “He looks pretty good for his age.”’ J John has been taking the stage for 30 years and he’s wearing well! With humour, honesty and Godly wisdom, he has spoken in 58 countries on five continents. The Christian faith he shares is rooted in ancient and holy stories – and J John can definitely tell a good story.

During September and October he will be touring cities and towns across the UK.

In a recent article J John wrote:

‘When thirteen-year-old David was asked what he knew of Jesus, he replied, ‘Why was he named after a swear word?’

Jesus. A name that stirs up such controversy, yet the reputation of this man has withstood scrutiny for 2000 years.

The knowledge and facts of the person Jesus remain on paper and yet it is this man’s life transforming impact on those who believe today that marks the Jesus I know. Unless Jesus’ transforming power is real today, he can be no more or less interesting than any other historical figure, than a Henry VIII or a Churchill. The difference lies in the fact that this Jesus is as real today as he is in the historical evidence and, moreover, he connects us to God. This Jesus shows us our God and has made it possible for us to have a relationship with him.’

J John’s gift is to introduce Jesus to those who don’t know him. If that’s you, then this nationwide tour is a great opportunity to meet someone who can change your life.
