Smithy Quote

'God Is Not Far From Any One Of Us' - John Smith on Acts 17

Recorded in Wales, UK, August 2010, God's Squad International President Explores the biblical text from Acts 17, when Paul arrives in Athens; John lays down a challenge to the church, a call to embrace the arts and a beacon of hope for those searching for God . . . .

Vintage Smithy tells it like it is . . .

A diverse audience of around 150 people gathered in the packed bar - bikers, musicians, artists, believers, seekers and cynics among them . . . . for a few moments the pool table, pinball machine and the bar fell silent . . . . John Smith reflects on two stories and opens up the 'old book' in a way that only he does, in a bar.




This recording was made back in 2002 in the public bar of a city centre pub in Swansea, South Wales, at a gathering hosted by Zac's Place.

More reflections from John are available on this podcast

Wired To Love, Valentine's Day

"We celebrate love today. HUMAN LOVE We are wired to love. If you're not on a faith page don't be offended. I love you and Jesus has inspired love in my heart. Sadly multitudes who profess Jesus, hate their enemies and use their friends. They sing, preach, write great books about him, but they don't follow him as the lover of all, even enemies. Faith, hope, love..three essentials, BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE."
