2 thoughts on “Paul Levy”

  1. Dear Paul,
    Happy New Year to you, and Christ’s richest blessing upon you in 2025.

    I write to you as secretary of the Westminster Fellowship – a fellowship of ministers and elders within the Presbyterian Church In Ireland – and we would love you to prayerfully consider joining us at our autumn conference as our main speaker in September, 2025.

    A number of our committee have been privileged to hear you lead and speak at the IPC’s annual summer conferences in Ealing over recent years, and we would be honoured if you would consider coming to us fellowshipping with us in the autumn. You likely know our Chairman, Stafford Carson from conference and perhaps other Christian events?

    If you are willing to come, we would be open & flexible to your thoughts on your subject matter.
    In the past, we have had our main speaker, speak twice at our day conference – either side of our lunch.
    Conference date is: Thursday 18th September from 10 -3pm approx.
    The venue is Richhill Presbyterian, County Armagh.

    Our Committee did suggest, if it was possible to have a Paul Levy and Rico Tice ‘duet’ at our autumn conference, then that would be wonderful – I don’t have any contact details for Rico BUT I understand He has been worshipping in the IPC/ Ealing with you and we might be able to issue a joint invitation if that was possible.
    Naturally, as a fellowship we would cover any travel expenses from London to Northern Ireland as well as speaker(s) fee(s).

    Here is the link to our website – https://www.wfpci.org/ – if you’d like to check us out, for that will give you more than a hint as to what we are about, and what we are striving to do in the grace, wisdom & strength of our LORD Jesus Christ.

    Only last September, we celebrated our 50th anniversary as a fellowship and we enjoyed hearing from our guest speaker Kevin De Young.

    We believe you can help inspire, encourage and challenge us in these difficult days of great opportunity to be faithful to the truth of God’s Word in our pastoral-preaching ministry,
    & so, if you would like to discuss further, it’d be great to chat on the phone:
    028 2073 1496
    0781 557 5664

    with thanks,

    yours in Christ,

  2. Pursuing Authentic Christianity article.

    I have often asked this question would Christ even recognize the modern church? The early followers of Jesus were a grassroots movement, often persecuted, radically communal, and deeply focused on living out Jesus’ teachings—especially love, forgiveness, and justice. Over time, as Christianity became institutionalized (particularly after Constantine in the 4th century), it gained political power, wealth, and structure that Jesus never sought or modeled and often railed against.

    What we find are people whose hearts are burning for a return to something real—something deeper than religious routines. It is not found in the roots of the in the modern denominational church. I am just echoing what many early reformers and modern revivalists have long cried out for: a Spirit-filled body of believers, not bound by ritual, but alive with purpose, truth, and love, centered wholly on Jesus.

    My friend, that is why there are over 40,000 different Christian church organizations. Everyone is looking for something they are not finding. Jesus gave us a clue when he said “Let the dead bury their own dead,” and it was indeed radical. He was not minimizing grief or disrespecting family, but He was revealing something far greater—that the Kingdom of God demands total surrender, even if it flies in the face of what seems most natural or expected. That kind of call is not comfortable. It is not popular. It is not always safe.
    But it is real. Christ’s Church—was never meant to be a monument to men, or a platform for performance. It was meant to be a movement. Led by the Spirit. Fueled by Grace. Marked by Love and Truth. The kind of Church where burdens are shared, not increased. Where people encounter Jesus, not just a program.

    Reread the stories of the early Acts church and how they were devoted to prayer, to one another, and to the breaking of bread. No big names, no power plays. Just the power of the Spirit and the simplicity of Christ. Spirit-filled community—no celebrity pastors, no church brands, just people who believed deeply and loved radically.
