Working for the Kingdom

A few months ago I reflected on the discomfort I felt in spending five days a week \'saving the world\' from my comfortable office chair..

  • Why do you believe?

    How much of your faith is instilled from your upbringing and how much is from exploration?

  • Why I'm not Bertrand Russell (or an atheist)

    In 1957 Bertrand Russell published his essay Why I Am Not a Christian which is still cited to this day as a popular anti-Christian apologetic. Briefly here is why I, unlike Russell, am unwaveringly Christian.

  • When God's Voice is Still, Yet He Speaks

    Do you ever wonder if there is more to the Christian life?

  • Bits of shoelaces

    A piece of stretched elastic; a broken loom band; piece of old shoe lace; numerous feathers; a piece of wool; varying rocks; a gum nut; sticks; a maths counter; a metal spring; bones; a shell; a piece of pipe cleaner; several brochures; a 1 cent coin; a piece of tin foil; a piece of broken ceramic tile; a tree nut of some kind.

  • Church and the Temple of Zeus

    During the time of the early church pagans would go to a particular temple to pay allegiance to their god of choice. If you wanted Zeus to hear you, you went to his temple—with the idea he was present in his temple.

  • Yeah, that's what he said

    When did you last hear a quote from CS Lewis?

  • How to be a good witness

    Does your church community encourage you to live as a good witness to the world? Do you ever hear sermons admonishing you to consider your relational behaviour so you can \'be Jesus\' to those who don\'t know him?

  • Under pressure

    If you have ever interacted with a group of human beings, you have probably experienced social pressure. In any group of people there\'s this expectation to conform, to dress, to speak, to act a certain way.

  • The brevity and essence of life

    I am currently grieving the loss of someone very dear to me. This grief has caused me to realise how fruitless and needless is the fear of man.

  • The struggle of 'first world problems'

    Receiving the wrong coffee order, cracking your phone screen, chipping nail polish, tangled chargers, deciding which shoes you should wear to impress a potential boss—I\'m sure many of you will understand why these situations are referred to as \'first world problems\'.

  • Here I Am

    Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: Who should I send? Who will go for Us? I said: Here I am. Send me!
