Comments

Comments are welcome. Don't be rude - especially about others; 'fair comment' however will not be considered rude. I decide what's fair. Don't be anonymous; as the English Muffin says, 'I don't let people in my house if they don't tell me who they are.' Leave a name at the bottom of your comment - you don't need a blogger account.

About Me

My photo
Gary Benfold
Bournemouth, United Kingdom
I've been minister at Moordown Baptist Church in Bournemouth since 1997 after spending seventeen years pastoring a church in Buckinghamshire. I have a passion for explaining the Bible and its relevance to believers and unbelievers alike and try to do so in a clear and jargon-free manner. Jesus Christ is Lord of the universe and answers the deepest needs of people's hearts and souls. We all need forgiveness, acceptance and certainty; only Jesus truly gives those things. Oh - and I've been happily married to Elaine for more than 30 years. We have two grown-up children, Joanne and Andrew, as well as three darling granddaughters - Abigail (20.5.08), Anna (29.8.09) and Emma (3.1.10). If one poor soul from Moordown Should meet me at His right hand, My heaven will be two heavens In Immanuel's Land
