Facing the fear of spiritual warfare

I love the idea of being totally fearless, a kind of adrenaline junkie Bear Grylls type. Of being that person who sits calmly as a their South American tourist bus jerks awkwardly round a bend, scraping past the screeching truck that comes rattling towards them on the wrong side of the road. .

  • Fish!

    So it all began with this fish, apparently it was a real fish. You would have been able to tell it was a real fish because it would have smelt like a real fish... This fish even crossed the road - because it wasn\'t a chicken - it was a fish. This fish changed the world. I\'m just joking - it was only a fish.

  • She's not always pretty!

    I think we have been a sold a lie. Admittedly, a very charismatic, oui oui merci sort of a lie. One that captivates us, entices us and tells us in sing songy voice that life, in all of its glory, should come easy.

  • Relapse – C. S. Lewis

    A year ago next month I lost my grandpa to the beast of death, and because my family lives in America and I\'m in Tasmania, I was unable to return for the funeral.

We can muster all the willpower or motivation we have, but I believe it's not our doing that will help us succeed in our goals.

  • Cheap grace

    I remember some time ago, when I was a younger lad, the church I attended was really into using a particular small black book as an evangelistic tool. You may have seen the type, small little gospel tracts you can hand out and give to strangers that purport to tell the gospel in pithy points and a prayer.
