Mid way on the motorway

We can all say \"I am getting closer to God\" can\'t we? It can be a daily thing or a monthly shift in our thinking. It can be sudden, lifelong and yet in all ways it is transformative isn\'t it?.

  • Meeting old friends

    Recently I returned from a holiday in China catching up with family and friends of both my wife and mine. This reminded me of an article I wrote two years ago of meeting up with an old friend.

  • What does it take to be courageous?

    When I was growing up I had a great desire to be something, to make a difference and to leave a mark when I left the earth.

  • The pursuit of happiness

    Our generation is consumed with the idea of happiness. And if we\'re not happy, then the question is \'what can we do to become happy?\'

  • Extreme parenting

    Those who know me know that my conversation is dominated by two things: my beloved wife, and my adorable, cute, darling angel one year old daughter. And if it isn\'t clear, I am very fond of both of them, almost obsessively so.

  • No fear in love

    Pain is part of the world we live in. As prevalent and almost natural as it is, nobody wants to feel it. We try everything we can to avoid it. We run from it, fight it, but most often I think we fear it.

  • It's time to break the rules

    Jesus broke the rules. He defied the law. He was not exactly your average \"middle ground of goodness\" type of guy.

  • You have two suitcases. What do you take?

    There are only seven weeks to go until my husband and I move from Australia (where all of my family lives) to Peru (where all of my husband\'s family lives). We had expected that we would live in Peru at some stage, but our trip in February this year confirmed that the time had arrived.

  • Who is sovereign?

    Perhaps the least loved truth in our day, is the one on which all existence hangs: the sovereignty of God. Our age embraces the so-called freedom of our own will. We are masters of our own destiny, sealers of our own fate, breakers of boundaries and people who are quick to question and pass judgement on past institutions and ideologies.

  • What I learned when I lost my job

    It was a moment that turned me upside-down. The crib was upended and I came tumbling out.

  • My sainthood does not depend upon the Pope (Thank God!)

    Last week the canonisation of Mother Teresa was all over the news. It had been a long time coming, but faith is not easily proven in the eyes of the all-powerful Catholic Church.

  • Computers, games and friendship

    For a few years now I\'ve been involved in a high school holiday camp around the Sydney area called Crütech. Throughout a week of Crütech we focus on God\'s word and technology.
