  • Prayer, the Most Intimate Conversation

    Mouths are not only for taste but theyare also for initiating conversations.

  • The Best Investment

    The focus of my little word today is on a current pursuit of mine which has been consuming a considerable chunk of my Monday to Friday.

  • Australia’s seaboard has history

    Australia’s seaboard is constantly in the news with border protection right up there. In WWII the Japanese ran amok on Australia's eastern seaboard in 1942-43 with submarine attacks, air attacks and moreover Sydney and Newcastle were shelled let alone northern and the western seaboard of Australian with the bombing of Darwin all the way to Broome.

  • Competitiveness is ugly

    At every level, competitiveness is ugly and uncouth. You could even say that it contrasts selflessness. It’s an ugly battle. People try the hardest to beat the person next to them.

  • Beyond Africa

    It seems when someone's asked to imagine mission, their minds often think of Africa, digging wells and looking after disadvantaged children.  I used to think this too.  Although Africa is pretty huge, my concept of world mission was in fact limited to this one continent.  

  • Pride and prejudice

    Homosexuality has been one of the most controversial topics among Christians since the beginning of time. Many believers today are caught between the views of the ever liberal secular world and the interpretations of the bible.

  • The sleep equation

  • Ties that blind

    There’s been a multitude of writing bemoaning the fact that in 2005 the greatest advertisement for Test Cricket of all time was accessible to anyone with a TV, meaning that people who’d never taken any interest in cricket before but  just had to find out for themselves what was making the entire country suddenly act like lunatics.

  • Australian history and Christianity

    There have been numerous books, television programs and on-line histories of Australia. In some respect they all have some mention of Christianity. We might highlight school education, hospitals, political movements to mention just three where Christianity played ‘the’ role.

  • Retirement in Christian work ?

    In Australia, there is now no mandatory 'retirement age'. This is an advantage for those who are enthusiastic and still active at maintaining their long-term job or profession, but it can be a problem for those who are getting tired and weary and let's face the fact not really benefiting their employer as much as their senior wage would indicate they should be.

  • To be truly seen as God sees us

    In America, 1989, five young black and Hispanic teenagers were convicted of a violent assault and rape crime they did not commit. They became known as the Central Park Five.
