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.

Psalm 55 has a twist that makes it rather unique. The enemy from whom David seeks deliverance is one who was a peer, a companion, a good friend (v13) and someone with whom he had enjoyed close fellowship in the house of God (v14). The twist in this pslam is the knife in the back. David has been betrayed by someone close. He finds that even harder to deal with (v12). So do we usually. But the Lord is faithful and He's the one to turn to. This is what David does, and it's a good example to follow.
