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.

Today we begin the OT book of Numbers. Is it all that relevant to us as Christians today? Here is a helpful quote from Dr A.A.MacRae (New Bible Dictionary).
"Actually, this book is of very great significance for the Christian. Like the Israelites, he has come out of Egypt, the region of slavery and oppression. He has been born agin through the sacrifice of Christ on Calvary just as they were redeemed by the special power of God, as demonstarted in the Passover which marked their departure from Egypt. Like them he looks forward to entering into full possession of all the promises of God. But at present he is a pilgrim and a stranger, with a wilderness journey to pass through before he enters the Promised Land... The book is full of vital illustration and precept to guide the Christian in his journey. It presents the resources available to him, and shows the internal and external dangers which he must face." So enjoy!
