On this website you will find some of my poems - an awkward thing to do because I have not shared them publicly before. But whether or not they possess literary merit, they are meant also to convey Goodness Truth and Beauty. They may express theology in images and rhythm in a way that a sermon can’t necessarily do; they are meant to get under your skin whether, for example, they deal with having a bath, or hearing jazz in my head, or the wonder of intercession (Caradoc).
For a similar reason I have always hoped my sermons are visually present, imaginatively presented to warm both heart and head. Preaching is truth though personality- and this is one way I seek to present God’s word, and fulfil the calling the Lord gave me.
