I want to get off the bus

Being obedient to where God wants to lead you in life can sometimes feel like the biggest mistake you’ve ever made. .

  • The battle in the mind

    The story is told that one day, Death was walking into a certain city when a man stopped him and asked what Death was planning to do in that city. 

  • Pain spoken through art - II

    Art has always been a powerful way to express emotions. I want to show you some of my art. It tells a story. My story. Maybe this art helps expiate pain enough to allow healing. Maybe. But it points to a certain hope found in Jesus.

    I’ve been watching the series A.D. on Netflix – a compelling dramatisation of the New Testament book of Acts showing the intrigue, the terror and the transformation surrounding the birth of the Christian Church.

  • Whatever you do, don’t run!

    This is the title of a book by Peter Allison.  He is an Aussie who, at 19, went to live in Africa on a game reserve, and many of his adventures are recounted in the book. He speaks of a Botswana truism: “only food runs”.

    Fake news! It is a common cry today but most often linked to politics. But recently Bible believers have echoed the cry.

    Mention the word ‘stone’ and what springs to mind? Something solid, hard, inert, permanent, cold, immovable?

  • Give your life some perspective

    This is a photo of my 17-year-old son lying in hospital. He had been mildly concussed in a football (soccer) game one Tuesday night.

  • Neglect

    Sometimes the Holy Spirit unexpectedly raises an issue with the people of God by using the criticisms of secular culture.

  • Domestic violence, ungodly!

    Last July Australian icon Johnny Farnham made a surprise appearance at a Brisbane concert. The event was raising awareness of domestic violence in Australia.

  • It’s lambing time

    Lambing time at the Skinner ranch means some sleep deprivation and an occasional sad ending. I’ve been around sheep my whole life and sometimes I feel I know more about them than I do about myself.
