A matter of eternal life and death

What will happen to those people that never heard the gospel? Do you have any friends or family that died before they heard it?.

  • How well do you get along with your sin?

    It’s a universal fact for Christians that being baptised means admitting yourself a sinner and accepting Jesus Christ as our savior.

  • Generation Y and their poor coaches

    Rarely does a coach get sacked in 2018 for the lack of coaching finesse.  Today’s sporting landscape is about the happiness of the athlete.  

  • The alternate of grace

    Sowing and reaping. A fundamental biblical principle. Elementary to the operations of agriculture, the four seasons of our year and the five-minute offering motivation in a Sunday morning service.

  • How far is too far?

    Recently a group of friends and I discussed what would we do if we were invited to a same sex wedding.

  • Even before we wake

    There are a lot of things in the world that we can get almost immediately. Life can sometimes feel like we are holding a magic wand and as soon as we wave it, our wish has been granted.

  • Peter Norman finally recognised by AOC

    In August 2012 I wrote the following from the $100,000 Basil Sellers Art Prize. “A white hero for Black Australia” art work by Richard Bell was a finalist in the 2012 Basil Sellers $100,000 Sport-Art Prize (Melbourne) and the image of one of our most famous in Olympic history.

  • The Secret Life Of Charis Jackson

    The first time I watched the trailer for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty I remember chills running through me when the picture of eccentric photographer Sean O’Connell, played by Sean Penn, comes to life and beckons Walter to join him in something more than his current state.

  • From a Wrestling Christian – Waiting for the moon, do words have power?

    I was sitting on the shore of Australia, it was 10.00pm and we were waiting for the moon. I was told that at 10:30pm the moon overtakes the ocean.

  • When God invoices you

    As I sit on my balcony, with a snow-capped mountain to my left and the pearl-blue sky above I am thinking about the end of my time in France.

  • Using a puppet for a church talk

    I love puppets. I have loved them for a very long time. Ever since I saw some of the Muppet movies, I was hooked.

  • What if you had only one day?

    Time is an interesting concept. As a teacher, my day is run by the little wristwatch ticking over the seconds and the minutes to the next phase of the lesson, the next class, the next meeting.
