Why does bad stuff happen? A valid question - the world is full of bad stuff. But I seem to hear this a lot, especially in conjunction with, "If there's a God..." The conclusions people come

Training sounds like a chore. I'm not a fitness fanatic in the slightest, and if you asked me to go for a run for fun (what?!?!), I'd tell you to jog on. But we know that our lives are better when we're

Sometimes it's hard to get the measure of people. You think they're one thing - maybe honest, kind, or helpful - but actually you later find out that they're exactly the opposite. As a child, I had an

Let's go taboo. Let's talk about something which, when mentioned, is scorned upon as some ancient, outdated notion. I'm talking about sin. Unless it's referred to in the category of the "seven deadly

There is nothing that can separate us from God's love....apart from our own desire to reject it. If you want to know a love that is so pure, unwavering, unconditional and so greatly immeasurable, then

I've learnt a few things along the way in this journey called life. One of the most valuable, and toughest, lessons I've learnt is that you can't draw from an empty well. If you are drained, if you are

First post, so I'd better make it a good one! I'll keep it short, and say .....Hello! This is the upper room, where we talk about Jesus, His Word and encourage each other in the Word. I'll be sharing
