Tweet Others As You Would Like To Be Tweeted

30 Oct 2014

“Social media has an alternative gospel to proclaim; the Kingdom of the Smartphone is at hand! Follow thy Lord - on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Upvote thy neighbour as thyself. No longer will you be fishers of people; social media will make you fishers of ‘likes’.”...

Welcome

22 Oct 2014

Romans 15:7 (English Standard Version)

“Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you so that God will be given glory.”

This blog would've probably been more relevant a month ago, and for that I apologise, however I plead still applicable as I'm aware that...

Revolution

21 Oct 2014

Russell Brand is getting a lot of attention in recent days, and somehow he's managed to keep his clothes on while doing so. In case you've missed it, for the last seven months, he's been producing daily news features on his YouTube...

To be consoled

9 Oct 2014

Praying Station

19 Sep 2014

Stephen Talks Bananas: Part Two

17 Sep 2014

'Stephen, can you find a home for hundreds of bananas?!'

This unusual question was posed to me last week when a supermarket in London dramatically overstocked on bananas. Hundreds and hundreds of them were left unsold and faced the fate of the rubbish bin - the...

Thoughts that resonate (Diversity with division)

16 Sep 2014

Sometimes I date myself. That might sound slightly pathetic, but I thoroughly advocate it; spending quality time doing something exclusively for you is a beautiful thing. Sometimes I play games on my own, other times I text myself if something has stayed with me.

Generally the things I...

Stephen Talks Bananas: Part One

11 Sep 2014

Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree

Discussing things as they are said to be

Said one to others; ‘Now listen, you two

That humanity descended from our noble race...
