Rubbish!

What is a “den of thieves”?

What exactly is a "den of thieves"? Let us examine this age-old saying in a modern world and ask: can YOU understand how Jesus felt?

Everyday sayings of Jesus

You'd think that the sayings of someone who lived 2,000 years ago would be stuck inside a dusty old textbook somewhere, rather than being used every day out on the street – but think again. A good number of the sayings of Jesus are used in modern English speech and continue to add colour and depth to what people say.

Seven last sayings

Jesus hung on the cross for six hours before he died. In that time, he spoke to his friends, to the criminal crucified next to him, and to God. They are the last words he spoke before he died. These pages present Jesus' seven last sayings in seven short movies. Links to the animations are found below, links to the text are found to the right.

R father… Gzus via txt

A recent competition launched for the best version of the Lord's Prayer in text message form (er... txt msg 4m) drew a big response from mobile users. And the prayers and other sayings of Jesus which arrived were intriguing.

People not only tried to make the Lord's Prayer as short as possible, so that it would fit into the space of a single txt msg. They also got to the heart of what the prayer is all about and then put it into their own words.

Some of the txt msgs are entertaining and funny, but most of them read like real prayers and sayings of Jesus, and, of course, they're all ready to be texted to someone.
