The Bigger Breakfast!

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

It’s good to get together and eat. We know that the first Christians did so every time they met and Christians have gathered together.

Men’s groups have, for many years, regularly gathered together for their own men’s breakfasts. Over the past few years, these once-monthly events have become an endangered species, becoming the exception rather than the norm. The Baptist Men’s Movement (BMM) wants to change that by reintroducing the concept to churches.

Many churches last year reported that the Bigger Breakfast was the first men’s breakfast that they’d held in years – but popular demand meant that they needed to do another one soon. So what next?

The Bigger Breakfast takes place on Saturday 10 October 2009. We’ll all need to sit down for our cooked breakfast around 9.00am. Where you host it is up to you. It could be in someone’s home, your church hall, or even a local café, pub or restaurant. You might even be adventurous and go for the big outdoors (weather permitting of course!)

WHAT IS NEXT?
BMM is organising a follow-up event in February, the Bigger Balti. The idea is the same as the Bigger Breakfast, only this is an evening event and features curry.
It takes place on Tuesday, February 7 2010 at a local Indian restaurant near you. You’ll find more details at www.biggerbalti.co.uk

“Does private philosophy determine public performance?”

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

In view of the startling and deeply damaging, revelations in both The House of Commons and The House of Lords, how true is the above statement.

It is not true that what a man does in private is his own business. No man lives or dies to himself, and what he does in private will affect himself, which will affect society when it becomes public. Whatever is done in secret will one day be shouted from the housetops. In politics, what a man practices in private is how he will vote in public. That affects everyone! Honoring God in private will be shown by making good decisions in public.
