Welcome to Goff’s Blog…

If I ever get round to writing a book, the title will be ‘Enjoying the Journey’ because I am convinced that this is a thoroughly appropriate and biblical approach to the Christian’s life. Why? Because a fundamental aspect of this great salvation is that God has purposed and promised to lavish grace on our lives in a measure that is more than equal to the demands of the moment so that we don’t just endure but enjoy the journey. That’s how Paul managed to sing in prison after enduring beatings, and that’s why Hebrew 12:15 urges us not to fail obtain the grace of God. So every day, every moment, I want to draw on God’s amazing grace that is there for the taking so that I can continue to enjoy the journey.

Speaking of journeys, that’s my main reason for starting a ‘blog’, as a way of keeping family & friends at Kings and beyond up to date with my goings-on, especially when I’m on the move. Over the next few weeks I shall be traveling quite a bit, starting off with a visit to Beijing just after Easter. I look forward to keeping you posted – and hopefully enlisting your prayers in the process!
