“The question of whether all babies go to heaven is one of deep personal and pastoral significance and the cause of much anguish to a great many people. From the outset, it is important to acknowledge that no verse of scripture addresses this matter specifically; however, much can be inferred from a variety of pertinent texts, from which we can take a great deal of comfort,” says The Rev’d Charlie Lacey
“Those who belong to Jesus will be raised with physical bodies that are no longer subject to death and decay. This will be the case for all Christians, regardless of whether they have been buried or cremated,” says The Rev’d Charlie Lacey
“We can be confident that the Bible is true, and not in any way discredited by modern scientific discovery, however, we must always pay careful attention to the genre of any given text,” says The Rev’d Charlie Lacey from St Andrew’s, Springfield
“In a list of the top 50 subjects that Jesus taught on, money and finance comes in at number four, yet Jesus never chose to teach about tithing. In short, the New Testament does not stipulate a ten per cent tithe for Christians. So, what should our position on giving be?” asks The Rev’d Charlie Lacey from St Andrew’s, Springfield
“It is more than a ‘good book’, it is dynamite, and we should take every opportunity to get this powerful text into the hands of as many people as possible,” says The Rev’d Charlie Lacey, as he shares a hair-raising story about crossing a checkpoint in West Africa
“Christians do not claim to have all the answers; however, the Christian worldview properly understood provides a framework that makes sense of the world we live in. Indeed, I would argue that it makes sense of the whole of human history,” says The Rev’d Charlie Lacey from Resource Church St Andrew’s, Springfield
