Jesus the myth? Why we *want* to agree

Below is a response I felt to post to someone who had claimed emphatically ‘Jesus is a myth’: a claim determined atheists are very bold in making, despite the evidence.  ——————————————————————————————   If you are reading through this thread and just read [Original Posters Name] comment & thought ‘yes, see, Jesus is a myth and the Bible is untrue’ – I want to challenge you: Why do you think you suddenly decided to accept what they claimed, without any actual evidence and no proof of the authors’ credibility?  The truth is the author has ZERO credibility. A bold claim – here’s …

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 …

Longing for my true home 

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. This Father who saved me from so much, who showed so much love and grace, He deserves so much better!  When I try, I fail. When I …

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. Their faces looked less than impressed, but they were polite to the reader. I watched at a distance and prayed.  As they left the reading I approached them …

Toranas Holdens and Jesus!

It’s actually quite sad when I look back…  Tonight, I was sharing with someone some elements of my former life (before Jesus), and specifically, my love of old Holdens / Toranas.  I loved them so much I had ‘shrines’ in my house with all kinds of rare collectibles. I owned literally hundreds of them and built a business around them: selling parts & repairing them. At one stage, I wouldn’t even allow people to park on my property if they weren’t in a Holden.  It seems *so* ridiculous now – I mean *WHO CARES??!!* Sure I still like the look …

No matter what present/s you received today, *none* will fulfil for long. Within days, weeks or months that thing you love will be worn out, rusted, broken, worthless, lost, stolen or forgotten. There’s only One gift that can fulfil forever: forgiveness and eternal life.  This is the presence of the One who arrived in a manger, determined to die according to the will of God the Father. You either have this gift for free through Jesus or don’t have it at all. You can’t earn it or loose it.  Do you have it or are you deceived, distracted or disbelieving? Your actions, who you love …

It’s more than Magi-Cal

Did you know Jesus wasn’t born on December 25th?  Christmas remembers when the Magi (commonly wrongly called ‘wise men’ or ‘kings’) visited Jesus a couple of years after He was born…not on His birthday!  There are so many incredible parts of this story, many are tempted to call it a myth. Honest research will reveal that despite the improbability, the events are backed by overwhelming evidence.  Which aspects are the hardest to believe?  – the fact that there were so many pin point accurate prophecies about this event: Thousands of years before Jesus was born, prophets told of His coming.

Christmas 2024

I hope you all have a truly blessed Christmas, with family, friends, both or neither. Whether you are in a valley or season of blessing, my prayer is that you would experience a deeper revelation of God’s love… His love is evident everywhere, but most notably it has been revealed by the gift of His Son, Jesus – the King & Creator of all.  Not only did Jesus give up His divine privileges, leave His home in Heaven and visit us on earth in frailty…He also lived sin free and willingly let Himself be unjustly condemned, tortured, murdered and separated from …

Ever wondered how much God loves you? You can find out…  Think about writing down every sin you have ever committed – everything. Every time you have lied, every time you have dishonoured your parents. Every time you have put yourself before God or others, every time you have lusted / fornicated, every time you have been angry at someone…  Now think about how serious those sins are to God: He *HATES* all sin. It is grotesque to Him. Think of how angry He should be at you for sinning, deliberately ignoring and going against the very One who gave you …

Jesus is the Reason for the Season

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. It makes us ‘feel’ nice, but …

You should Shout about the Collective sexualisation of our future

SO confronting….  Today, I attended a brief lecture by @collectiveshout, hearing some of the statistics and ways that young children are being targeted, attacked and affected by what our culture has declared ‘normal’ for far too long…  Speaking from experience, having a wrong view of women / sexuality wreaks *havoc* on the brain, on your sense of fulfilment and your chance at meaningful relationships. It has led to many issues and hardships, that really didn’t need to be. Not surprisingly, it has the same affect on the brain as illicit drugs. And as many of you know, once the damage is …

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, …

Godly Wife Pain

When struggling through the valleys of life, take time to smell the weeds.  So blessed: after a particularly difficult night and morning, my amazing wife gently hugged me and began to pray. As she did, she wept: pouring her heart out to the Creator, her concern, love and empathy were tangible.  There was no flash from Heaven, the pain or spasms didn’t subside. But a new feeling competed for my attention, new thoughts to help drown out the pain: maybe I can get through this day after all…    I simply can not overstate the importance of finding a GODLY …

JWs & the Gospel

Today, we received this in the mailbox {Declare the Good News Pamphlet}. It is easy to see from the artwork it is from the JW’s (AKA Jehovahs Witnesses, or followers of the Watchtower organisation).

Real love tells truth – blowing smoke is selfish

It is often soo easy to tell people what they want to hear – but at times it may do them harm.  Love, real love, puts the other persons *needs* above your own feelings and status.
