Casting stones and carrying them

Casting stones and carrying them

\'He who is without sin cast the first stone\' and \'Only God can judge me\' are Bible based maxims that we quickly regurgitate when we are cornered by the sharp daggers of judgement and condemnation..

  • Do people know what you are?

    A few weeks ago I attended a meeting outside of the office with a colleague of mine. We work in different departments of the same company. While we were waiting for the other participants to arrive, I decided to make casual conversation by asking him how he\'d spent a recent public holiday.

  • Joy

    Have you ever felt like everything around you is falling apart? You try to do a number of things to make yourself happy or to get your life back on track. You may have even tried to completely forget about what is going on.

  • You should be on fire 247!

    I remember when I first became a Christian I had this deep yearning and excitement to dig into the bible.

  • When can I finally stop being a missionary?

    As I sipped my deliciously pompous coffee whilst eating couscous and sweet potato, I decided that life in Australia wasn\'t too bad. In fact, it was bloody brilliant. I had coffee. Amazing coffee. I had couscous. Orgasmic couscous.

  • You're not meant to go it alone

    My younger sister is four months into her first go at motherhood.

  • You can't choose your family

    When I meet someone new, one of the first things I like to find out is how many siblings they have and what position are they in the pecking order. This is because I have always been very conscious of my own situation and the effect it had on me growing up.

  • The remarkable life of the ordinary

    You slip into the back seat of a church as the worship is winding down from a frenzy. People begin to take their seats as a speaker starts his talk on \'Radical Discipleship\'.

  • Rinse and repeat – consistency in discipline

    In a matter of single digit weeks, we are expecting our first child. In some ways this is obviously a very exciting time, and in other ways I have no idea what I have signed myself up for.

  • Thank God He's not in religion

    If there is one phrase that sounds like a direct contradiction of itself, it is this – \'God is not in religion\'.

  • I haven't been to church this year

    I am a goal setter. I\'m one of those people who write a list including things already completed, just so I can have the satisfaction of ticking it off. So yes, I have a list a mile long of all the things I want to do in 2015!

  • State of the Church: China

    On a recent trip over the Australian summer to China, I got to experience firsthand the works of the Church and Church organisations in China.
