The Legacy: Christie Costigan

This is something of a quite different nature to anything I have put on my sites previously.

In 2006 Christie Costigan 'went home'. She was the daughter of Sandy and Beth Robertson and had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. In the February of 2005 she had given a testimony to the exercises of heart she had passed through since her diagnosis. She left a husband and two young childred ...and an amazing legacy.

That was her own description. Faced with the prospect of an early death her prevailing thought was of her life's significance to others. She wanted to leave a legacy; and she has. This short testimony is a credit to the God she loved and served.

You will be moved and greatly blessed by The Legacy

Workman Workshops Launch

One of my original ideas for this website was to reproduce some work which had been done in what I called Workman Workshops. These were occasional weekend Bible Schools where we studied some Bible book or topic together. I prepared take-away notes and the sessions were recorded with a view to some kind of publication later.

I have now completed the first of these and if you would like to see and hear more please go to Workman Workshops and choose "Studies in Colossians". You will then be able to download, freely, both the notes and the recorded sessions. This is not swish professional stuff but I think it will be good enough to be servicable.

Please do let me know what you think. I will create another section on the Discussion Forum specifically for Workman Workshops so please feel free to ask questions or to comment.

Keeping a promise

It has been a long time since I added to the Biblebase blog but this is to keep a promise. One of the 'departments' of Biblebase is Workman Workshops, these are units of studies which were prepared for various groups at different times. I promised to let you know when I added more units to the list, so here we go...

In 1995 I did a residential Week-End Bible School at Rora House in Devon. The topic was Paul's letter to the Colossians. I want to add these kinds of resources to the site and I have created a 40 page pdf file of the notes which accompanied the studies. I want to get the audio files up as soon as possible but in the meantime if you would like to see what we have available so far...

please try Workman Workshops and then choose the "Studies in Colossians" option. More soon, hopefully.
