The statement that the resurrection is the centre of Christianity serves as the keystone comment in this latest book by Ross Clifford and Philip Johnson published by BakerBooks. They boldly affirm that without the resurrection, there is no life..

  • Old school

    I walked past the old Hobart post office in North Hobart, which is opposite the old State Cinema. I'm no expert but it's obvious to see that these older building are different. They seem to be from a time that seems like the dinosaur age for someone as recently arrived as myself.

  • Blessings of the poor

    Recently I took a step of faith to live a simple life with very few material possessions. Leading up to this major decision in life were a series of short-term mission trips over the past five years that collectively challenged, renewed and transformed my heart for the poor and the lost. One of those life changing moments came from visiting children in the developing world, that I sponsor through an aid organisation called 'Compassion'.

  • Will the real church please stand up

    There should be little surprise over society's moral decline, if the church is not leading from the front. As individuals and as a society we need to learn our morals from somewhere and if the Church is not an example to us we must discover these life values from another source. If this alternate source does not teach us biblical standards it is only natural for our ethics to reflect the poor teaching we have been given.

  • Best cars...

    The Sydney Morning Herald\'s Drive Team before Christmas listed their best 10 cars of the decade. Seven writers got together and detailed their \'best car\' of the decade and it was fascinating to see where they headed in their selections.
