NARRATIVE OF LIFE

Evolution by Natural Selection is all about where we came from but tells us little about who we are, why we are here and where we are going.

Philosophy is bound up with present reality, seeking a meaning in it.

The two seldom meet in a coherent story.

Only the Biblical narrative gives true lucidity and meaning to life. A Creator God who sculptured man in His image to rule over creation and bring its praises to God. A relationship immersed in mutual delight.
Proverbs 8

Through disobedience man chose self-rule, forfeiting his destiny of an everlasting life pleasing to God. Through grace God reinstated man through the atoning Death and Resurrection of His Messiah, giving life to all who recognise Him.

Men who have this life are being renewed in the image of God's true Man, living as royal priests who mirror the rule and glory of God to all, soon to be lived out in a gloriously renewed creation

Heaven come down to earth, hidden now but to be revealed in its fulness. The greatest love story ever told.
