The Mission of God Part 5 – Holy, Holey, Wholly

I thought I have finished writing the series of “The Mission of God,” so I was going to begin writing a new series..

  • Some little-known incidents of persecution in the world

    Persecution of Christians and other religious groups is world wide. Much of the persecution that is ‘news-worthy’ is that perpetrated by Islamic State in countries of Africa and the Middle East. But there are other parts of the world not often brought to our attention, where Christians are targeted and need our prayers.

  • ‘Filled’ and ‘Skilled’ - the journey of an Artist

    A few weeks ago I came across a post from one of my favourite artists. His name is Joel Rea and he is an incredible realistic artist that fills his canvases with images that reveal deep messages of the struggle between people and nature.  These images are executed at such a level that at first look you think his paintings are photos.

  • Have a look – Replacement Theology – Part 2

    Replacement Theology at Morling theological college was taught as Super-succession-ism – that Christ at the cross "superseded" the Old Covenant and at that point the Chosen People played no further part in the human processes of Salvation and lost their special place within the economy of God.

  • The lost boy and the unknown journey to manhood

    Who was it that called you ‘our’ when you were a boy? Who was it that held you steady as you pedalled your first bike? That told you that he was proud of you before perhaps you even knew what the word fully meant?

  • Up for a challenge

    I am up for a challenge: Cairns Ironman Triathlon (Asia Pacific Championship) involves a 3.8km Swim, 180km Bike and 42.2km Run. That is a big day of 226km and I want to raise $2260 for my friends at Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF).

  • Sheep are silly creatures

    A few weeks ago a very large merino sheep was discovered roaming in hilly bushland country. It had been lost for a few years. Sheep often can’t find their own way home and the owner had given up looking for it.

  • Small Hopes and Miraculous Dreams

    Recently, I was at a training session for my job as a School Crossing Supervisor. Stereotypically Supervisors are over fifty and, at forty seven I am the youngest I know of. So it was an interesting time watching them attempt to learn a new app the council required them to use.

  • He’s 21. This is my son.

    I had just snagged my first Capricornia (Mackay, Rockhampton, Gladstone areas) Under 15 schoolboys Australian Rules coaching role in Mackay during the year 2000.

  • Shades of Grey? Part 1

    Recently I watched an episode of Law and Order Special Victims Unit (SVU) - one of the most popular shows in the long list of Dick Wolf’s creations.
