Is Church Just a Social Event?

If you made it to church last Sunday, I want to congratulate you. For some reason, making it to church can be one of the harder tasks to put a tick for regular church goers. Here are some basic issues..

  • Australia's leadership merry-go-round takes us back to Jesus

    Another week, another Prime Minister.

  • Conquering Everest

    Not long before the devastating earthquake hit the foothills of the Himalayas I spent a few months just outside of Kathmandu in awe of the dauntingly magnificent giant that is Everest.

  • Anatomy of a Rugby World Cup upset

    The story of the Rugby World Cup, to date, has without doubt been the monumental upset of South Africa by the Japanese in the first round of matches.

  • Gender Blur

    The binary gender distinction: male and female, is constantly under attack by proponents and allies of the LGBT movement.

  • Ananias and Sapphira: retelling an ancient comedy

    To modern listeners the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 is particularly difficult: with a casual smiting for a seemingly bad-call about money?

  • Creation and music – pondering!

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

  • Stay salty friends

    Ever heard of someone telling you not to join a particular career because you\'re a Christian?

  • If Christians have the answer, why are they so boring?

    Christians often declare that they have the answer, the \"gospel\", the insights that the world is longing to hear. Yet if you travel to any location on the planet you\'ll find most churches are following an almost identical format or template.

  • Spring!

    Spring! Can you believe it?

  • A new world with new perspectives

    My last article I explained I was now at medical school and already a bunch of assumptions had changed in my thinking and this is another one.

  • Desiring more for a greater reality

    Opening an umbrella indoors is like wishing for rain to come on you. If a black cat crosses your path it will bring you bad luck. Breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck.
