A neglected blog

This blog has been sadly neglected of late. I never seem to find the time or mental space to distill a thought (or perhaps to have the initial thought) into a post that is more than something rather half-formed. I have spent the last three nights after work attending Oliver O'Donovan's lectures on Moral Wakefulness. I won't attempt any sort of synopsis of those. That has been done very well by Byron Smith over here, with two more posts to follow. You may ask why I went along, when the Moore College Evening Course on Ethics is about the only time I have given to a serious study of ethics, but I did find them very interesting and challenging (to say the least).

I am continuing to read the book Living the Cross Centred Life, which I am enjoying. I have just passed the chapter on Assurance and Joy, focusing on the why of the cross. In all our discussions of atonement theories and so on, it is something marvellous to be reminded of the why - that being because of God's great love for us.

Hopefully I'll be back with more later on.
