  • Empathy, without sympathy, without action

    Recently my boss spoke to me about the need for empathy in the workplace. Empathy is described as the capacity to understand another\'s situation or circumstance, commonly described in the phrase, \"putting yourself in another person\'s shoes\".

  • Recovering chivalry

    I recently sat down with a few friends to discuss what it means for a Christian man to be manly. We had mixed opinions on what it exactly Christian masculinity is. So that weekend I set out to examine what Christian masculinity means in our modern age.

  • Little things matter

    It was Andy Warhol who once said \"You need to let the little things that would ordinarily bore you, suddenly thrill you.\"

  • Grace – one of five great theological themes

    Recently I was asked to convey five great theological themes presented squarely in the Scriptures and to explain and display them in such a way that an ordinary person might exclaim, \"hey, I understand that\"!

  • Cliffhangers, Free Fall, and the Ultimate Safety Net

    When we make a bad choice, in the wake of the consequences that inevitably come with sin \"deliberate or otherwise\", the downpour of after effects can be astounding – especially when you were only expecting a small bout of rain.

  • The greatest obstacle to truth!

    \"The five biggest money mistakes\" I found in my archive from a Sydney Morning Herald article. With Easter upon us, l realised this could so easily be converted into an article for church growth and church facilities construction as to how best to handle such debt and investments.

  • Don't give up until the end

    I love soccer—even though Australia is a country full with NRL, Rugby, Aussie Rules and Cricket. When the Asian Cup 2015 was held in Australia in January, I did enjoy the live broadcast from SBS on the television.

  • Screw the plan

    It is funny how inspiration comes isn\'t it? I had an issue with my computer last night and I had part saved an article I was about to turn in. For the first time I was ahead of deadline. I had written a plan and got part way through writing. I made some nice points and was about to ground it in some biblical truth.

  • Broken promises

    We\'ve all done it.

  • Our decisions determine our destination

    Standing in line ready to board my flight, I was feeling pretty thrilled. I hadn\'t been on a plane for years. With a love for travelling I was feeling excited to be up in the air, to look out of the window and to be in my own world.
