Anger is like a fire that consumes my heart and then hurts others
A Judgmental attitude creates division where none should be.
Legalism is more concerned with rules than with people.
Gossip betrays the secrets of others and destroys relationships.
Self-centred thinking leads to jealousy and bitterness.
BUT
Love is like a refreshing stream that flows out to others
Love seeks peace, understanding and reconciliation.
Love is patient, and tries to build others up
Love seeks to forgive and to see others blessed.

David Rollings was born in Luton in1949 and raised by my Christian parents in the Gospel Standard Strict Baptist denomination( Hyper-Calvinistic} in the sixties I rebelled against this background and got involved in left-wing politics.
I became a Christian in 1969 and soon started reading Francis Schaeffer's books and came to embrace a Christian Worldview. I had the privilege of being on the staff of L'Abti Fellowship from1975 - 1979.
After L'abri I studied at London School of Theology where I gained my BA.(1983) A few years later I studied for my MA by distance learning with The Nazarene Theological College Manchester (1999)
For the last 25 years, I have been an elder of Shoreham-by-Sea Baptist Church.
I also regularly attend the Christian Doctrine Study Group of the Tyndale Fellowship.
