While watching the New Attitude 2008 Conference video (see it below - it’s a good vid), I was reminded of Humble Orthodoxy. I’ve posted on it before.
Josh Harris preaches a message I need to keep hearing. Now that I’m hanging out with Anglicans more, it’s a message that they need to hear too! There are [...]
Keith Condie ripped it to bits today in chapel with a sermon on Psalm 101. Some good things on what it meant for King David and what it now means for us this side of the death and resurrection of Jesus. He mentioned a letter written by John Piper in 1984 called “Missions and Masturbation” [...]
South Coast Revolution is a brand new combined youth event being run in the Nowra area. I will be speaking at their first event on June 13. They have borrowed lots of ideas from Coast Youth Revolution - which is cool!
As a teenager I read a soccer magazine that had the same tagline at the end of each editorial: Soccer is life, the rest is just details. I used to believe that, but now I believe that Jesus is life and the rest is just details!
Soccer may no longer be number 1 - but there [...]

The 5th slogan made famous by Martin Luther and his posse during the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s helps to summarise the other four.
SOLI DEO GLORIA = Glory to God Alone.
Bible Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone and Christ Alone show us that salvation belongs to God. His Word is our final authority. He gives us [...]
When a Roman Catholic – or any religious person – attempts to contribute something to their salvation they are trying to steal God’s glory.
The 5 slogans made famous during the time of the Reformation help to show that Glory belongs to God alone.
We like glory. We love to make ourselves glorious! It’s one thing to steal glory from your friend, neighbour or sporting opponent, but it’s another thing altogether when you try and steal glory from God!! Who do you think you’re messing with!!
World Catholic Youth Day 08 is coming soon. The RTA is doing a good [...]
Just discovered the website of a class mate from bible school. Richard Maegraith is one very cool jazz cat! He’s got an album launch at the basement in June.
Check out the YouTube vid below of Caravan by Duke Ellington performed by Orghan-um Trio featuring Richard Maegraith - tenor, Gary Daley - organ and Jamie Castrisos [...]
Nothing in my hand I bring - by Ray Galea
Book Review
In preparation for some recent talks on the 5 Solas of the Reformation, I read Ray Galea’s new book Nothing in my hand I bring (published by Matthias Media). I believe that Galea’s book is a very helpful read for all Protestants in the lead [...]
I recently gave Dan an essay question. He did a fine job in answering it. Originally the plan was to use some of his thinking in an intro for a talk, but the talk changed its tack… but it’s still helpful - and will most definitely help in an upcoming talk.
Here’s the question: In 100-1000 [...]
I spoke on 2 camps this past week. On Youthworks Soccer Camp I got to talk about Jesus and play and coach soccer all day… so good!!! I did a modified version of some lost and found talks (plus some bible studies). The 2nd camp was CCECYOUTH Phat. It was a Viking theme called PHAT [...]
Christ Alone - John Calvin (1509-1564)
Guest Blogger: Rowena Miers
Jesus Christ is undisputedly one of the most widely known and controversial figures of human history. Even today there are t-shirts made that brand him as “my homeboy”, he is featured in classical and modern art, and his name is even used the world over as [...]
