Do not dare not to dare

Leaving Sydney on the Saturday morning a few days after New Years Day the sun was out, it was a clear blue sky and the summer weather was on par with the time of year.

  • Parents, do you share the gospel with your kids?

    My passion in life is young people and Jesus. I honestly think that Christian youth will change the world because of their faith. Simply put, they believe in God and act on that even if it seems crazy.

    A December to remember Over the December period, I attended a camp for leaders of Inter School Christian Fellowship (known internationally as Intervarsity).

  • What is the gospel?

    Would you be able to clearly explain the heart of the "good news" (that is what the Greek word "gospel" means)? And how does this link in with the bad news that precedes the good news? If you struggle with this or even if you want a clearer way to explain it, then read this book.

  • The Last Sermon

    For the month of January, the theme of the sermon series at my local church, Sonlife, was titled "The Last Sermon". It was a series of preaching based on the idea that if you had one last sermon to give to humanity, what would it be? I found the topic very interesting and decided to write an article based on that theme.

  • C.S Lewis, Myths and Question Evolution Day

    It's that time again. What time? Why, time to mark Darwin\'s birthday with a big slice of intellectualism, unlike the anti-intellectualism of those who have accepted what\'s become of Darwin\'s theory without due questioning of it.

  • A dad's perspective on… sunscreen
