Is arbitration good for sport

In September 2008 I recommended an independent 'Arbitration of Religious Practitioners' based on the highly acclaimed sport arbitration model and now big business has adopted the idea..

  • The first time I encountered a homosexual…and what God said to me

    It was in 2007 or 2008 that I first had an encounter with a homosexual male. Back in those days, there was a social meeting website called Hi-Five. Long before Facebook was the rave, this was the site where people went to hook up. I opened a profile and uploaded a few pictures of myself.

  • From a wrestling Christian – Where’s our community?

    Community has always been a topic of conversation, especially if you have lived in the church world for any amount of time. Actually, the whole goal of most ministries should be to create a thriving community. It’s something that the secular culture has shaped and molded as the church has been on the sideline. As the culture has shifted and as people have become more isolated, the church is left wondering how to create real and lasting community.

  • When you least expect it

    Have you ever prayed about something with so much fervency that it started to feel less like prayer and more like harassment? I’m sure it’s not just me who spent months, I dare say years, praying and asking God for direction, purpose or answers to prayers and promises. Around a year ago, I wrote about waiting. Waiting on God for His answers in His timing is difficult because we’re human. We live in a time that wants things quicker than a microwave can turn out.

  • Awareness

    Yesterday I highlighted the dastardly nature of the Islamists who do all they can to destroy our western societies. Today are the obvious responses.

  • Is the climate right for change?

    I have met few people who do not care about the environment. Most people I know are concerned about our planet and would like to see a better world with cleaner air, cleaner water, less pollution and less waste.

  • Should women preach?

    Two weeks ago, one of the most prominent pastors in America was asked to comment on the topic of women preaching at a Bible conference.

  • Vigilance

    Australia is in such a fortunate position, where we have many personal freedoms in our society.

  • ‘No’ again

    My three year old has been finding it hard to take ‘no' as an answer. We've been trying to let him know that when he asks for something, he needs to be ready for the answer to either be ‘yes’ or ‘no’.

  • The Wayne Graham Story

    I was born in Christchurch in the late 1950’s. We had a quarter acre section, large vegetable garden, fruit trees, cricket pitch and hens.

  • No one but Jesus

    In the era of information explosion, we are highly exposed to various information more than ever. Meanwhile, in a fast-pacing and rapidly changing world, people are forced to react towards that information, either actively or passively. I wonder if you feel as tired of it all as I do.
