Feeling under pressure, anxious, or burned out? Searching for rest?
We live in an anxious and fretful world.
Stress-related illnesses are on the increase, resulting in over 10 million working days being lost last year in the UK.
Social structures are breaking down and the demands of the workplace are escalating.
We live in days of record prosperity compared to previous generations, but despite the claims of the advertising industry,
our new acquisitions are not bringing the promised well-being.

Welcome to Rhythms of Grace...

Struggling with Fear?

We live in a very uncertain world, and many visitors to this site are struggling with fear. This month's editorial is in the form of an open letter. Click on the PDF below...

In addition, there are a number of resources on the Psalm 91 page, and the current blog series (see below)

We read in Genesis that when God created the earth He created day and night, lit by the sun, moon and stars; land filled with fruitful plants, animals and birds in their rich variety; seas teeming with fish; and finally humankind. When God finished creating the earth He declared that everything was good and He rested, literally, ceased, from His work of creation.
Participating in this rest of God starts with knowing that He is really good, and is good to me personally… |

Not Part of a Church?
|
Millions of professing Christians around the world no longer consider themselves part of a recognised church. Many of these are hurting, worried or afraid, and are frequently dealing with these issues in isolation. Perhaps you are one of them, or know someone who is?

Rhythms of Grace has recently formed 'Eagles' Wings', an online group for visitors who fall into that category, and would value some encouragement in the form of twice-monthly emails, and a private resource page.

Biblical BaptismBaptism by immersion is a prophetic act,
demonstrating to the powers of darkness the wisdom of God, and causing a spiritual shift. Eastertide is a good time to reflect on the importance of water baptism; either on your past experience, or the future possibility.
The Grace of Baptism looks at the biblical definition, historical context and purpose of this action; and The Power of Biblical Baptism explores its amazing spiritual significance in the life of a believer. |

A note on resources...
‘Rhythms of Grace’ supplies a diverse selection of resources, which are selected for their specific contributions to a particular page theme. In addition, 'On My Bookshelf' gives a variety of personal book recommendations; books which have greatly added to my faith-journey.
I honour each person represented for blessing me on my faith-journey; however, it is important to say I am not affiliated with any of them, and an endorsement of every aspect of the theology or world-view of a particular ministry is not implied.
Through the blessing of the internet, there is a wealth of Christian resource available to us—and many partisan views are expressed, some of which are horrifyingly judgemental. My encouragement is for us to view it all as a banquet— we don’t have to eat everything to have a good meal, nor should we reject the whole thing because there are elements we don’t like. The best of Christendom belongs to us—let’s enjoy it!

Before you continue, let me pray for you...
Take a moment to linger, before you enter the site, and let the powerful words of this ancient blessing wash over you:
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
[Numbers 6:22-26]
The Lord bless you and keep you;
The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
[Numbers 6:22-26]
