Next October 21, 2010

Ok, so I suppose this is me easing back into the blogosphere. I started this blog over a year ago and I have often felt like I had something to post, something to get out there, but recently I haven’t had has as much to say. That’s not because life has suddenly become more boring [...]

Radio Silence September 23, 2010

Dear folk, I am sorry for the radio silence on PC over the last little while, I have been quite busy with my shifts at Manly Cycles (which is incidentally the funnest job like ever dude), but I have also been working on my sermon on Obadiah which was delivered to Northside Baptist’s evening congregations [...]

A Song of Praise August 30, 2010

My friend Ben and I have been working on a Worship song and here it is in all it’s technicolor glory. We wanted to write a song that worked well acoustically on a theme of corporately being inspired to praise. There’s a sense also, of wanting to inspire people to make use of the glorious [...]

Love justice August 16, 2010

Just been listening to this sermon by Tim Keller as I work my way through Photoshopping a whole bunch of dried fruit. On the subject of social justice, I really appreciated TK’s very practical approach to where we should aim our lives in service of Christ. I particularly liked his points about being filled with [...]

Get involved August 11, 2010

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 [...]

Community worth staying in August 9, 2010

A few days ago a fello blogger wrote a post in response to this facebook message by a lady called Anne Rice: In the name of Christ, I refuse to be anti-gay. I refuse to be anti-feminist. I refuse to be anti-artificial birth control. I refuse to be anti-Democrat. I refuse to be anti-secular humanism. [...]

Poor memory August 9, 2010

This is a post mainly for the Australian readers of Paronymous Christos, but those back home in the UK can get involved too, as this is a global issue. Micah Challenge Australia is urging government not to forget its responsibility to the world’s poor as it considers prospective policies in light of the upcoming election. [...]

Glo-ing review July 25, 2010

I learn software more easily than anything else it seems, which makes me a certifiable member of Geeks Global, but does also mean that I am very excited about this. Glo is an interactive software Bible that offers the user much more than just text on a screen. There are videos maps, timelines and an [...]

Soul haven July 10, 2010

I have just returned home from a week as a leader on an HSC Study Camp in a place called Shoalhaven. Every time I read the location I thought, ‘Soul Haven, cool’ so that is why I name this post as I do. HSC study camps provide space for Aussie 17ish year olds to give [...]

Thinking and faith June 29, 2010

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.

Faithful June 16, 2010

This weekend I went on camp with Northside, God totally met us, was faithful, brought change and grace, inspiration, built community, I feel so blessed. He even met me in a very powerful way whilst playing percussion during prayer ministry. Yesterday I moved out of a gorgeous house with some equally wonderful people into a [...]

Dawning revelation May 30, 2010

Another excellent sermon at Church by the Bridge tonight, (last night/today, erm… time zones?) rounding off the series on Revelation from chapters 21 and 22. Paul spoke on changing our vision of Heaven from a place, to being more focussed on who’ll be there, ie. God, the Lamb (Jesus) and the followers of Jesus. Allowing [...]

Christian? May 23, 2010

This week I have been struggling, wrestling perhaps, with one simple question: ‘Am I really a Christian?’ I’m not quite sure how it all started, but I’ve been deliberating on authenticity of faith over the last few weeks and it all came to a head in my thoughts (no pun intended) during the last 5 [...]

Gnarly May 8, 2010

Yesterday evening I went to the Banff Film Festival, which was quite frankly, gnarly. Set up to celebrate and showcase short films of the X-Treme variety, the evening consisted of seven displays from those humans that have a little more of ‘that’ thing in them than most others. Adrenaline personalities I think they call them, [...]

Room with a view March 30, 2010

Yesterday I went for a run to here, in response to a picture a very dear friend of mine had whilst praying for me. When he told me the picture, I started weeping, I don’t even really know why, he just said he could see me looking out to the Ocean from this headland, but [...]
