5 practical and spiritual lessons from a crisis – Martin’s story

Winston Churchill said: ‘never let a good crisis go to waste.’.

  • Stand Firm

    I recently was watching Martyn Iles online. If you’re not aware of who Martyn is, he is the current head of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL), a non-party partisan, non-denominational advocate for Christians and the faith.

  • Order amidst disorder

    We recently had to move out of our house, and I was struck by how much clutter had accumulated throughout our space. I was even more shocked by how little we were aware of it until we had to clean it up, and it was so much harder than anticipated.

  • Pray for Papua and Ukraine

    Human rights violations in Papua and the Ukraine are equally appalling and horrendous.

  • Walking Tips Along the Way (Camino de Sydney reflections Part 3)

    I have been wondering if during these Covid times, people may have embarked on more walking than previously? Some of this could be associated with walking newly acquired pets.

  • Vaccinations - healthy

    A couple of years ago, I wrote two articles about the effectiveness of modern vaccines, (this link is the first). This is a revision of the second (more scientific) article, with the inclusion of some recent research. Being Easter, I thought this an important topic – death to life.  

  • Dedicate or saturate

    After the birth of their child, many Christian parents face the decision of whether or not to dedicate or baptize their babies. Some Christian denominations or churches believe that infant baptism is acceptable, and some churches practice baby dedications.

  • A Greater Peace

    Do we know what peace is? In history, peace has often only come after war, after one ruling power manages to conquer others and declare themselves the ruler. Is that peace; or is peace something completely different? Is war what gets in the way of peace or is war a way of creating peace?

  • Don’t Give Up on Perseverance

    The bible, particularly the old testament, contains many stories of people who went through suffering and needed God to get them through.

  • What is time?

    Time is an intriguing concept. It’s something we’re constantly abiding by, checking on, setting before bed and waking up to in the morning. Time is good. It measures things. It organises us. It is a structure for our lives.

  • A question – why not ‘Climate Normal’

    Leading State and National political figures in this current flood period have said – this is a ‘one in five hundred year flood’.

  • The joy of Wholeness

    What is wholeness? Wholeness, according to the dictionary, is a state of total well-being.
