Thank you if you were one of those responsible for the awesome response to the 3 Honest Answers Poll questions … we had over 1300 individual votes!. In this post, I’m sharing the poll results and my initial thoughts on the top 5 conclusions that arise out of the data.
This is the last in our current series of Honest Answers QUICK-POLLS looking at people’s intimacy with God. Very soon, we’ll be taking a look at the results – already some very interesting things emerging. I’ll be sharing my thoughts and I am really interested in what you have to say too …
If you’re one of the 500 people who responded to our first Honest Answers quick poll on you & your Bible – thank you so much.
Very soon I’ll be publishing some more posts about the wonderful intimacy with God available to each one of us. But before I do, I’m putting 3 QUICK-POLLS into the field in what I’ve called the Honest Answers Series.

Have you ever said something that you’ve ended up regretting? Sure you have. Me too.
And once it’s out there, you just can’t take it back. Words … words are such powerful things. A good word costs so little, but yields so much. A bad word takes such little effort, yet can destroy a relationship that’s taken a lifetime to build.
One of the things that we absolutely love to do here at Christianityworks, is to ask our faithful supporters if we can pray for them.
And there’s one prayer request that comes out on top each time – I mean by a country mile!

Have you ever been totally disheartened because you’ve stumbled and failed God? It’s a terrible feeling!
And what makes things worse is when we get the wrong idea about pleasing God …
… imagining that it’s something like winning at that addictive game Angry Birds. If you succeed at one level then it’s up to the next. The smarter we get, the more we hone our skills, the further we advance.
I heard someone refer to the Holy Spirit as “She” recently – it caused quite a ripple round the room which is why I recently put a poll in the field to see what others think.
I recently heard someone refer to the Holy Spirit as “She” instead of “He”. And in response to someone asking me what I thought, I’ve written a blog post. But before I post it, I’d love to know what you think. Your answer will be totally anonymous so please … click on one of the buttons and have your say!
Christmas is a time of celebration, of joy, of rest and of peace. At least that’s how the script goes. But sadly for many, it’s a time of loss and of loneliness. Some will spend their very first Christmas having lost a loved one. Others will live through the annual statistical spike in domestic violence and family breakdown known as the “festive season”. And others still, will carry heavy burdens into Christmas.
Christmas rolls around with almost monotonous regularity doesn’t it? Even the ever more extravagant retail displays hardly raise an eyebrow these days. The thing I really struggle with is the gap … the huge gap between Christmas AD 2011 and Christmas circa AD 33.
