This is a considered and thoughtful article on the role of worship in our churches. I think it’s probably important to remind ourselves of the things described here from time to time. It perhaps links well with this recent entry from Donald Miller’s blog which I am enjoying a lot at the mo too. (Perhaps [...]

Loggerheads

I can’t help but want to sit with the authors of articles like this and share a few stories of Jesus and the way he dealt with conflict or how he has worked in the lives of many around me. These issues are important, divisive and they are very real for our churches today and [...]
If everybody looked the same
November 8, 2010
This is a bit weird. Apparently lots of people were snapped here in Sydney and conglomerated together to get a generalised vision of Sydney’s populous. After what must have been the most epic piece of Photoshop, an average face emerged. I think the woman looks like Rosamund Pike the bond girl, but with slightly squintier [...]
Exactly!!!

Someone else agrees with my standpoint on Exclamation marks.
In-font-ile

I loathe Comic Sans. It is awfully cutesy (in a bad way, not a typically English, luvvy way), it has become a contrived way of making something look ‘friendly’, it is almost always inappropriately used (if it is ever appropriate), I could go on… Turns out there are many others who do too. I came [...]

Today is the day to email your local election candidate here in Australia about: ‘The Poverty Question’ Details are here. I’ve just emailed our Tone, Mr T to the A-dubble-b-o-dubble-t. Even if you are in the UK you could too. [The link you need to copy and paste is http://www.micahchallenge.org.au/thepovertyquestion if you are having PC [...]
Big questions
August 9, 2010
This weekend I was looking at a few big questions in Scripture, reflecting on the tension that so often brings. Then I came across this article today. A very interesting perspective, worth a read.
Thankergy

Thankergy: The energy to be thankful. Love this little nugget by Pete Grieg of 24/7 Prayer. He speaks about the ease with which we gain complacency towards things that should inspire us, the things that should inspire us to huge thanks. I particularly engaged with the moment he describes in the last paragraph.
We’ve all done it
July 18, 2010
We’ve all had a time when we’ve craved a bit of celebritynessness. If you say you haven’t then I’ll respect that, but I’d ask you to be truly honest with yourself, have you never craved a little more recognition, wealth, status? It’s all on a scale. And if you’ve not craved a bit of the [...]
Thinking and faith

I thought this was an interesting post on thinking appropriately. Martyn Lloyd-Jones share his thoughts on thinking and faith, jump on the link and have a read, will take you 3 minutes.
Life without limbs

The following video is in the top ten most viewed on YouTube globally this week, that’s how I came across it. This fellow really encouraged me to be missional, often all we need is a bit of a nudge and some perspective. Nick really puts stuff into perspective. You can read more about Nick’s work [...]
Aah

Breathes deep sigh of satisfaction, rocks back on chair, contemplates an afternoon in the sea body boarding. Yes, I’ve just finished a pretty full two weeks of projects, Invoices gone, job done. Here are some good things I have been introduced to on t’inteweb. I’ve long been an advocate. There’s got to be a rags [...]

Thanks largely to the innocent smoothies newsletter, I get let in on a few nuggets of web greatness and because I’m exceedingly generous, I’m now sharing them with you. This story is amazing, and the photographs, wild. Sadly it is from the Daily Mail, but hey, let’s skate past that. Another blog which I wish [...]
