Who are you to tell me what to wear?

I recently watched a video that was addressing the issue of the inappropriate manner men and women dress for church. It showed multiple images of people in church dressed in what the preacher termed “the same way they would dress to a nightclub”. The images showed such outfits like mini-dresses/skirts, plunging necklines, excessively ripped jeans, and pants worn so far below the hip they reveal the underwear..

  • Pray for our leaders...

    I write this before the current election in which Australia decides who will be our next Prime Minister and the political party that will lead us into the next season. Unlike any other election day prior to this I have been extremely interested in some of the key issues that are being discussed and how they pose a challenging question to many Christians in Australia.

  • When I became a man

    What sounds like a cliché to many is a phrase used by those who have had some form of life epiphany, has now become a hallmark for my life. “When I was a child, I spoke like a child.

  • Good will was not Good for Goodes

    For those who do not know, I work as a School Crossing Supervisor. Last week I left my stop sign (lollipop) behind. I had one of those unfortunate moments and I forgot it. I came back the next day and it was not in my car. Emergency?

  • Our eyes have been shut for too long

    Racism is a haunting spectre yet to be expelled from our culture. It is an issue every generation must address, and a conversation that continues to play out on the nightly news.

  • Treasures in the darkness

    I have walked with God for many years. The adventure has been wild. At times I have felt his presence closer than any friend. Other times I have traversed the lowest valleys of sorrow and felt my soul was shattering within me. I understand brokenness. I have had to look unfulfilled dreams in the eye. I have been stretched by God, beyond what I have felt my heart could bear.

  • How do I pray?

    This was one of the first questions I asked myself when I first became a Christian. But I was unsure and unwise to ask my friends how to do this because I did not come from a Christian family or background.
