Salvation for the Damned: Prostitutes, Drug Addicts, Criminals and the Law-Keepers

I have recently had a few conversations with some friends about what is right and what is wrong and the implications of this. Tempered with these conversations has been the news with riots in London. But even further back I have been thinking about wars and the great evils such as the Holocaust and Rwandan genocides. .

  • Do Justice; Love Mercy; Walk Fashionably.

    Like many females and sartorially attentive males, I enjoy clothes shopping. Occasionally. This activity has evolved into such a well-regarded pastime in Western society that entrepreneurs, designers and marketers have come together to create a plethora of stores catering to our inner, or rather our outermost needs. Now more than ever, so many find solace and renewal in this recreation.

  • The united individuals

    The idea of talking to someone you don't know on public transport has always been one that makes me uncomfortable. I imagine striking up a conversation about some topic that is pretty safely mutual, like the weather or recent events, and then trying to navigate my way through some polite talking with no idea what the other person is actually like.

  • Cycling-mania

    July is cycling month across the world. Not officially of course, but with the Tour de France in full swing for the month of July, all eyes seem to be on the two-wheeled form of pedal transport. As the excitement built towards the penultimate day of the Tour, Australians seemed to collectively will Cadel Evans to his first Tour de France win, which would also be the first ever win by an Australian in the Tour's history.

  • Grave Fear

    Last week my grandfather passed away in hospital at the age of 79. Although he had battled several health issues throughout his life, including broken bones, aching limbs, body sores and asbestosis, his passing last week was both swift and shocking.

  • Introduction to Social Media for the modern Christian

    What is it that distinctly separates this current generation from any other generation in history? It's the fact that we have constantly available ubiquitous communication. Everywhere we look there is some form of communication media readily available. From mobile phones to Facebook; from smart phones in everyone's pocket to voice-over IP services such as Skype; from Twitter to comments on news articles such as the one you are reading now there are many, many options to seeing the views and live

  • Melodies of the Mind

  • Swimming lessons: drowning statistics highest since 2003

    The Royal Life Saving Society 2010 National Drowning Report was released in September 2010. Royal Life and many in the swimming industry were distressed to see the results of the report. 314 drownings were reported in Australian waterways between July 1st 2009 and June 30th 2010.

  • My Core

    It's so easy for me to get caught up in my day to day life. I pack my days with all sorts of stuff – I get busy with work, family and other commitments. How I live my lives each day, can be shaped by the smallest of choices I make.

  • Finding help beyond healing rallies

    When desperation propels a person to attend a healing rally, what happens when the healing does not take place? A person who is dealing with an illness will no doubt do whatever it takes to become well. Having done everything, sometimes an opportunity to attend a healing rally is for some, the last measure of hope available.
