The Interactive One!

For those of you who weren't at SBC on Sunday, a word of explanation: The following are sermon notes from the message preached on the 25th. Half way through the service, this blog was displayed live on screen and people were invited to add their comments. Great fun - another first for Thinking Allowed!

Balance is a word that should be banned in Christian circles. It too often translates as inertia, compromise, lowest common denominator, lack of zeal, half-heartedness, double-mindedness. Away with it!


Replace 'balance' with 'Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all of your mind, all of your soul, all of your strength'


Excuses you won't want to deliver on the day of account: 'I took a balanced approach to life', 'There were too many obstacles to whole-heartedness', 'I didn't know', 'It made me uncomfortable', 'I wasn't qualified'


Just Do It! Pray for healing, cast out demons, bring new life. Be good news. Love your neighbour. Today, right now. Let's see God smash through our false ceilings. I don't want him to live up to my expectations, I want him to drive a coach through my expectations!

    Radical living outside a context of a genuine and authentic relationship with God is meaningless.

    It sounds like the key is hearing God properly. How do we do that then?

    The body of believers living this out would need to be characterised by HIS LOVE.

    God is speaking quite clearly. We need to stop ignoring Him, pay more attention.

    Without faith it's impossible to please God, that itself is sometimes a challenge

    It is easy to hear him now. What about on a daily basis in a Monday morning
