No Holy Whips?

No Holy Whips?

There are two types of whips in the Gospels. One is used by Jesus. The other is used on Jesus. As an avid consumer of pop culture these whips should be Holy Relics.

  • Becoming Unstoppable

    This year has certainly been a whirlwind of uncertainty; from a global pandemic to outspoken protests, and everything in between, things seem to have spiralled out of control.

  • A long walk to Gold

    I was eighteen when I moved to university to study teaching. I quickly made friends with Jared, who lived locally and was a very fit runner. One day after class Jared asked me if I wanted to go running, I was happy enough to go for a short jog.

  • Do you know who you are?

    There seems to be a major identity crisis occurring in our world.

    I stumbled over a profound scientific fact the other day (while doing research for my 3rd book -  a reminder my 1st two books are on sale), which has far reaching implications for Christian parenting.

  • If you want to soar like an eagle

    Driving in outback Australia, you’re bound to find some road-kill festering in the middle of a highway. As my family were driving down the Stuart Highway, making our way from Darwin to Alice Springs, we saw much of it; though it wasn’t the road-kill that caught our attention.

  • Sharing our faith

    I think that one of the most discouraging aspects in our quest to “make disciples” (Matthew chapter 28, verse 19) is the lack of ‘results’.

  • Real time parables

    Today, we might refer the idea of relief as “parables of life” that come across our news services, telling real and simple stories about how people have helped each other.

  • The good, the bad, and the Christian

    Is there such a thing as a good Christian?
