I keep being told, “The Jesus Saves Racing team are back on track.” In one sense that’s true. After thirty three years away the team with a message has returned to the track. But was it ever actually ‘off track’? The team officially ran for three years (1978-1980) displaying the ‘iconic’ Jesus Saves logo as […]
Someone said to me the other day, ‘Well, you have to believe in the resurrection because you’re a Christian.’ What he meant, essentially, was that because of the tribe I belong to, there are certain things that I just take blindly on faith. In fact, he got it the wrong way round. I don’t believe […]
The Easter weekend is massive. It represents the crux of the Christian faith. It is a request to us to hit pause on our lives. Where we spend most of our time gazing forwards, Easter turns our vision back to the single focal point of history. A couple of millenia ago, on a hill outside of […]
Without the focus of work and the need to provide for the family the autumn of our lives can bring fresh challenges! For me, one of these was about making sure I was living and experiencing the abundant life Jesus was offering! I felt this new period in my life carried a responsibility not to […]
Whenever I speak with people about what I do with CVM I get asked the same questions over and over again: Why do you do what you do? What is your driving force? Why on earth would you want to give up a really good, well paid job and go and work for Jesus? As […]

We can be slaves to the tyranny of time, or we can be free. Read this: Ecclesiastes ch. 3 v. 1-11. The first part of it must be amongst the most famous pieces of writing in Western Culture, though most people probably don’t know where it comes from. Verse 11 speaks into every restless searcher’s […]
Have you ever noticed how things creep up on you? (Like Old age or Christmas). A while ago I became aware of all the gambling ads on the TV…Where did they come from?! I have since been in touch with a guy called Ian who was addicted to gambling and is now involved in campaigning […]
In a recent Demolition Squad article we saw how well established Jesus is in the historical record. History indeed shows Jesus as a man whose life and death had a huge impact on the communities, governments, and religions around him. So what was it about Jesus that produced these momentous tremors on the historical seismograph? The […]
I was on my way to my daughters for the Christmas holidays, heading north on the M42. As I approached the junction where you have to take the exit to stay on the M42, a black BMW cut me up at speed (I was doing 70). I was so busy flashing headlights and sounding the horn […]
