When the cup is full

When the cup is full

Some seasons of life are busier than others. Sometimes our cups are full and not necessarily in the negative sense..

  • Decay, decadence and the death of civilization

    In case you’re feeling happy about life, I thought it would be a good idea to write an article to pour misery on your delusion.

  • How does the church influence your decisions?

    It’s probably not a popular question or a common question in the modern church today, but how much should the church influence our decisions?

    The church appears to be in decline in the Western world. After years sensing church goers were in the minority, the latest census confirms that now less than half of Australians identify as Christian.

    The math does not make sense, but the truth of the equation is essential: When you add to Jesus, you actually subtract from Him.

  • Peace when all is stripped away

    Matt Redman’s song, Heart of Worship, begins with these lyrics: ‘When the music fades All is stripped away And I simply come.’

    Over the last two years the pace of change has accelerated exponentially. This has been most noticeable in the development of mobile technology and the impact social media now has on our lives.

  • Plastic Versus Fantastic: Halloween, Día de los Muertos and The Book of Life

    “If we allow our ideological enemies to tell us what we can and cannot say and what views we can and cannot have, we have taken our eyes off God.” Eric Metaxas

  • Rabbits

    Rabbits were a topic of conversation at almost every meal when I was growing up in the 1950s.

  • Inconvenient

    A local Pentecostal pastor recently remarked to me, that whilst the numbers in his congregation were quite steady week by week, there was always a significant rollover.

  • The Christian Republic: Part 1

    Confronting Western civilisation is the tension of self-sacrifice and the growing individualistic material pursuits of our socio-political systems. At the core intersection of such upheaval is a question underpinning the role of Christian charity in the world today.
