  • The manmade Church

    Church, as we know it today, is a manmade institution.

  • Thanking God for what's gone before

    This is my 38th year in Christian ministry and it\'s remarkable to look back and rejoice in what the Lord has done in one\'s life\'s ministry. In the midst of this have been some amazing people who have been mentors.

  • A conviction, some money, and losing an eye

    I have this basic theory that if Kiwis invested half as much into their own talent and potential, as they do in real estate, New Zealand would be a better place. The world would probably be a better place too.

    Kurdish forces backed by US-led air strikes have regained control of at least 163 villages around the Syrian town of Kobani after driving back Islamic State militants in the past three weeks, a group monitoring the conflict said on Saturday.

  • Several proposals and one life lesson later

    Ahhhh February. By the time you are reading this Valentine\'s Day will have been and gone with no more attention than you had the day before or day after (or maybe I\'m wrong?) and I feel it is my duty to pull you out of the cynical romantic slump you\'ve inevitably fallen into. I\'m not trying to compete but I truly did know the most romantic man (if we can call him that...) ever.

  • Why I love Christianity (and you should too)

    We all want meaning. We all strive to find that one, overarching purpose for being, that one guiding principle that will make all of our toil worth it. Whether it is work, people, money, or fame, we all have a great goal that we give our all to.
