Renewing the mind

Renewing the mind

I believe this is a key scripture in the bible that God uses to speak to us when we are truly seeking him and his will for our lives..

  • You say WHAT!?!

    If you have ever watched any of the police or private investigator shows you will be familiar with their investigative process.

  • Lines Written Above Earth While Flying From Melbourne To London

    Tom Blunden, our history teacher at Newcastle Boys’ High School used to decry the fact that the school’s curriculum was structured in such a way that we could take either history or geography, but not both because, he said, ‘Geography is the stage on which history is played out.’

  • Smart Animals Defeat Christianity?

    If we found other sentient life, would it make you reject Christianity? As we find more and more intelligence in the life around us, I think it is especially important to look carefully at what really makes humans special.

  • Fundamentals vs. castles in the sky

    Much of today's Western Church desperately needs to get back to spiritual fundamentals. Its castles in the sky seem impressive, but they have largely been devoid of fruit and many have become corrupt.

  • Alpine Train

    As the Footplate Padre I am able a-test that the Alpine tourist train Christchurch - Greymouth travelling across the middle of the New Zealand South Island mountain ranges  -  is surely one of the great scenic rail journeys.

  • Lessons from an un-eager runner

    I’ve always thought running was the biggest waste of time. And where I live everyone does it. As the day breaks and as it ends, people, clad in light, colourful, breathable, clothing dash past as the rest of us normal people enjoy our days in bed or walking along the beach.

  • Same same but different: Reflections from a trip abroad

    I recently had the chance to visit Zimbabwe on a life-changing trip. It was wonderful!

  • Our taxes

    History lesson - some have claimed, that former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd lost his Prime Ministership at the hands of Labor factions (the faceless men) partly due to his inability to convey to the Australian people the true worth and value of the mining 'super tax'.

  • Creativity fuels my love language.

    One of my greatest love languages is gifts, and one of my favourite things and something I would claim I am good at is envisioning and pulling together a unique and meaningful gift for people in my life.

  • The posture of a nation

    In Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life, he breaks down the reason why many get bullied at a young age, surprisingly it’s not because the victim had done anything to deserve it or because the bully found some sense of justice in their belittling.

  • Grace fuels godly living

    Too often we reverse grace and turn it into striving.
