Hi and welcome. Ashfield Baptist Church is a "caring community church sharing God's love". We are very diverse in our nationalities, backgrounds and ages, but united in our desire to grow spiritually and to reach out and help others. Our vision is "to be a body of Christ-like people living out the great commandment and the great commission in the Holy Spirit's power". This blog is mainly for people connected with Ashfield Baptist Church. It has been set up as an "info & chat space" as we start the "THRU IN 2" challenge. This is our program for reading the Bible right through during 2007 & 2008. Many are using the Every Day With Jesus Bible which also has daily devotions from Selwyn Hughes. As we read through the Bible together over these two years, we can use this blog to share insights, stories, reflections, questions etc. The goal is to grow spiritually together. So leave your comments. Together we can help each other grow. Blessings. Ps John.

As we've seen recently, Leviticus says "Each of you is to respect his father and mother" (19:3) and "If anyone curses his father and mother, he must be put to death" (20:9). In today's reading from Mark, Jesus criticises the Pharisees for circumventing these instructions by invoking a tradition of their making. The issue is one of legalism vs a heart in tune with God's. It's worth contemplating the ways in which we make the same mistake.
