Following Jesus and alternative practises

What advice would you give to a mother whose twelve-year old daughter has been told that after every football training session she must do a compulsory yoga session to unwind?.

  • Living generously like our God

    When we are generous with our finance we are actually bringing God’s economy into play on the earth and this is a part of the Lord’s prayer to bring his Kingdom to the earth.

  • God teaches us to love

    There is a beautiful pattern in God’s love - that he first extends His unconditional loving acceptance of us, in offering salvation just by saying “yes” and believing in Him, without us having to earn it first (Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8).

  • Can a scientist believe in miracles?

    My immediate response, as both a Christian and a scientist, is a resounding YES! End of discussion, what more do you want to know?

  • “Jesus is the only way” is that reasonable?

    I have been a Christian now for approximately 19 years; one question never gets old and is always being asked.

  • That quiet prayer

    Thy kingdom come in me, thy will be done in me….. I regularly like to reflect on where God has me and where He has bought me from.

  • A voice, telling a story

    "Providing a voice, telling the story" is a theme of presenters at Australasian Religious Press Association's annual conferences.

  • We sweat to the tune of the sporting technique

    I did not come here to praise sport, I came here to question it.

  • 5 ideas to help the church grow

    While God might grow the church, we are responsible for cultivating an environment that supports growth.

  • Giants we’re coming for you. It’s our land!

    Many years ago I woke from a powerful dream. In the dream I was walking towards a giant with no fear, praying at full pelt for this giant to be taken down. Ever since, this dream has been burned into my memory as a picture of fiery courage and authority.  

  • Enjoying the Journey

    For parents this is such a common phrase to hear. Sometimes it feels as if we get asked this from our child as soon as we have left our neighbourhood! And if I think about it, sometimes I can be just the same.

  • A second look is required

    A jigsaw puzzle is never complete without all the pieces. I remember as a child, laying all the jigsaw puzzle pieces on a table and then I would try and figure out which piece goes where. It could be quite challenging sometimes especially with those 1000-2000 piece puzzles. I knew that the pieces could only fit in one way, it didn't matter what I thought, the design of the puzzle demands that the pieces only fit in that specific way.
