ANZAC Day 2025

ANZAC day got me thinking: “Imagine if we did this everyday?” What would it be like if we continually remembered honoured and gave homage to those who had sacrificed so we could live?  What if we were genuinely thankful every moment, for:   – the food we have (even if cold or dry or tasteless) – the shelter we have (even if cramped or dull or damp) – the marriage we have (even though it is ridiculously hard at times)– the family we have (even if weird or rude or uncaring) – the friends we have (even if they hurt or betrayed or …

Was the Pope without Hope?

Thinking tonight of just how far the religious can be away from God and even opposed to Him. Tonight, the pope, the head of over a *billion* people who claim to know the truth about Jesus has died. But unfortunately, based on the beliefs of the religion he led, we don’t even know if He was saved & will be with Jesus in Heaven! That, to me, is incredibly sad – not just for him, but for millions possibly also deceived by false teachings. On the surface, his life and ideals (especially for the poor) are admirable and Christ-like. At …

The Rabbit versus the Lamb

Ever wondered why there are bunnies & eggs everywhere at Easter?  A brief history:  Easter commemorates the resurrection of Jesus: rising to life again after being tortured and killed by crucifixion. He had been dead for 3 days with a multitude of eye witnesses and detractors.  Easter aligned with the Jewish Passover: a feast celebrated every year. It reminds us of when the blood of a perfect lamb (Paschal) was put on the doorposts of a slaves house. This blood protected those in the house from death.  God orchestrated that Jesus, the ‘Lamb of God’, was selected on the day …

Invite people to church this Easter!

Did you know:  86% of people in church are there because they were invited by a friend.  82% of unchurched people would accept an invite to church.  Despite this, 98% of church people do not invite the unchurched!   DON’T BE LIKE THEM!! Who are you going to invite to church this Easter? Do you have a friend who is unchurched, hurting, seeking, antagonistic, indifferent? A work colleague? The friendly checkout person or petrol station attendant…anyone?   What is the worst that could happen? Now, think of what *could* occur!!!  It may be ‘their’ time, so that when they hear the Gospel …

I am a friend of God! 

The holy, perfect, just, powerful, all knowing Creator and judge, should hate me… He should want to judge & punish me. He would be totally justified in condemning me & sending me to hell.  But He doesn’t. He loves. He forgives. He even loves to forgive!  This God who I used to love to hate, who I thought was horrible, vindictive, abusive – He is actually the embodiment of love: True love, not the Hollywood erotic, selfish love, but the pure, selfless and transformative love.  He saw how much I would hate Him, how much I would go against Him and hurt …

The Greens – Environmental Communism

Reading through some of the Greens policies, determined to find some ‘good’. I agree with some of their aims, however the methods to get there are at times absurd.  A number of their policies sum it up for me, one is:  “reform electoral law to allow young people aged 16 and 17 to vote” Seriously? Surely everyone can see that *very* few 16-17 years old have any clue of life, let alone how to run a country or get a culture to thrive?  I would argue the exact opposite: that no one should be forced to vote and only those …

Why won’t Trump enter WW3 – what a BABY!

Scrolling social media, it seems that stacks of people are wanting WW3 to start:  This week on my social feeds I have seen Trump being accused of being juvenile, racist, narcissistic, homophobic, blind, stupid and evil among many. People I consider friends have boldly stated publicly that all Trump supporters are blind and / or brainwashed.

Octavian versus Jesus who is a son of God?

Listening today of some light history about one of the worlds most powerful leaders: Augustus, also known as Octavian… He was an incredible ruler: defeating the determined armies to ensure Rome would become an imperial empire.  Claiming to be the saviour of the world, he promised peace (through violence) and prosperity: a golden age. His influence so great that glimpses of his political structures are still evident today in many countries.  But the thing that is almost incomprehensible to me: he is virtually unknown as far as famous history figures go. The law demanded everyone to worship him as a ‘son …

Truck Breakdown Jan 2025

The lights went green, yet the truck wasn’t going anywhere. The gear stick went limp, so we jumped out, put out the emergency triangles and lifted the cab.  I scrambled underneath, amazed at how hot the road surface was underneath me. With the heat of the truck engine & gearbox above me it was like being in a grill. I found the problem quickly, though typically it was nearly impossible to get to, right behind the burning hot exhaust and of course – we had no tools!  A personal boast – I did actually pray very quickly, a testament to …

Some days are worse than others, today wasn’t great.  As far as pain goes- it wasn’t as bad as many days. Health wise it was a struggle, making simple tasks seem monumental. Relating and parenting overwhelming, let alone building or earning money.  In the physical, it really is too hard – overwhelming an understatement.  But there’s more – faced with my failure to live up to who I want to be for God.

Birthday Thank you 2025

Thank you for all the birthday messages: much appreciated. Take away point: I’m definitely getting older!! 🤣 My amazing family made some of my favourite curries: so tasty! Also played ‘sniper’ with the kids after dark, but I have to say my highlight was noticing a tarot card reader at the car boot sale before church…  I saw a young girl getting a reading, with a young man (presumably her boyfriend) watching on.

The whole story of Christmas is meaningless, weird or even ridiculous until God opens your eyes…  As a God-hating anti-christian, I still remember Christmas as just a time where obligation led to getting drunk with family (instead of friends).  I may have been able to tell you it was something to do with ‘Jesus’ or some old religious fable, but that was about it.

Kindness is more than a hug and lasts more than a day… 

Far from the statement from Kindness Day (“Kindness is a fundamental part of the human condition which bridges the divides of race, religion, politics, gender and location.”) it is only true love and forgiveness that can bridge the hatred and selfishness that is intrinsic to all of us. It has been in all humanity, and has been since the beginning.  Kindness is an admirable goal, but often gets distorted by the insidious self: this is why so many ‘acts of kindness’ are video’d, often adding shame of the receiver but building up the givers ego.

You should Shout about the Collective sexualisation of our future

Another indicator of the Bibles colourful reliability

Studying the book of Revelation at BSF at the moment so found this bit of data interesting – and it adds more weight to the argument that the Bible is trustworthy and unique.  In describing the gem stones that will be in Heaven, the Bible details the names of the 12 gems that will be there. Amazingly, every single Gem stated is classified as ‘anisotropic’. Scientists have only discovered that gems can be classified as either anisotropic or isotropic in the last century, but Revelation was written nearly 2000 years ago.  Out of the 28 common gems, only 16 are anisotropic, …
