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.

Some more of Gordon's comments on prayer in the church bulletin of 9 September.
But is prayer worthwhile? Is it, as some suggest, just empty words, achieving nothing? See what Jesus says a little further on in Luke 11.
"So I say to you: ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; all who seek find; and to those who knock, the door shall be opened. Which of you fathers, if your child asks for a fish, will give a snake instead? Or if they ask for an egg, will give a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" (Luke 11:9-13)
May we all learn how to become effective pray-ers in God's Kingdom!
