For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person - such a person is an idolater - has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God (Ephesians 5v5 NIV).
'Hi, cc, it's Bob - we met at the Reform conference. Great talk you did standing up for the Bible's teaching on homosexuality and liberalism. Very powerful.'
'Bob...Bob....Yes, how are you doing Bob? Surviving?'
'Well, I've just started in a parish a few miles away from you actually. Looking after five small rural churches. Good opportunity for the gospel actually.'
'Ah, is that St Rush-arounds-on-the-marsh? We have a few folk who come to us from that parish. It's been pretty liberal I gather.'
'Yes, it was. I was just wondering cc if you could spare someone from your staff team of 85 to come and preach occasionally and maybe one of your 33 apprentices could come and help once a month with the creche and Sunday Club my wife is trying to get underway? And it would be great if you could alert those who do commute to Megamile from this neck of woods that there is Evangelical ministry underway in their area. More hands on deck greatly appreciated.'
'Yeah, well, I've been there, Bill. My first incumbency was in a small South Yorkshire church before I took on that diocesan job and then came the call to Megamile....Um, the thing is, Ted, we've got a thriving student ministry here - very strategic - and our team's pretty committed with that. So can't spare anybody just now. You could try one of the retireds in the back of the diocesan directory....'
