Welcome to PF#005. I hope that you are well and I appreciate your prayers. I’m keen to go to the Socceroos game vs Bahrain on October 11. Send me an email if you’re keen. They will be playing with their full strength squad. The photo collage is called: my week. [...]
“Self-righteousness has so seeped into American Christianity that being a missionary to one’s neighbours is easily overlooked because of the sickness of our faith. How sick are we when the most popular books among American Christians are about how to get blessed by praying a small section of Old Testament Scripture like a pagan [...]
I would love to hear your comments on this topic… first go and read Josh Harris’ post Summons of a Judge where he discusses a Mark Dever quote. It’s a good quote and a good post.
My question (basically my comment on his blog):Keeping in mind the “summons of the judge” do you think there’s [...]
Covenant Seminary (h/t CraigS) have youth ministry training as part of their MDiv. It looks like some really good gear. They have a whole semester class online for free. Today I listened to the introduction class and the first lecture (they even have the class handout online too). I appreciate the [...]
Young, Restless, Reformed: Calvinism is making a comeback—and shaking up the church from the September Christianity Today has recently been made available online. It’s a great article with some great quotes from guys such as: John Piper, Al Mohler, Kent Hughes, Mark Dever and Joshua Harris.
Below are a number of Josh Harris quotes from [...]
Welcome to PF#004! Appreciate your prayers. I hope that you are well. Would love to know how to pray for you. No more soccer to advertise… but if you’re going to the Mariners vs Jets game tomorrow night… send me an sms and we can maybe sit together? Have a [...]
Last night Row and I went to the opening of Jazz:Now 06 at The Studio (Sydney Opera House). It was a fantastic night out and we think it was a pretty sweet gift… so thanks Rachael. The line up for the night was the “Aron Ottignon Trio” and “Katie Noonan / Elixir Vitae“.
I’m [...]
Avast, me hearties! (Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day)
I just went up to our local supermarket to buy a couple of things. There was a sign about bringing re-usable bags to help them “do their bit for the environment”. I don’t like these signs. Not because I feel guily for not bringing re-usable bags, [...]
This photo was taken by Max. It’s me in our penalty shoot-out. We had a 1-1 draw in our soccer GF, and then lost in the shoot-out. It was good fun. Max and Phil both have some great photos.
Baptists are fake Arminians. Jude 24-25 proves the point:
“24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, 25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all [...]

Tomorrow night is our second coast youth REVOLUTION for 2006. We have Garage Hymnal coming to play and Paul Dale will be speaking on the topic If I were God I’d end all the suffering. It should be a great night. I’m excited that Hunter Bible Church will be joining us for [...]
Over the past 3 days we have had our annual staff conference. It’s been a good time. Because we so spent so much time using our brains, I decided to mow the lawn when I got home. This doesn’t require too much brain capacity (just enough to keep your toes on!). [...]
My brother is back in the blogging world after being absent for a couple of months. Go over and check out his blog. He has some very insightful posts (he’s the one with the brains in the family… but hey at least I can play sport!) and some great photographs. If you [...]
