“The cross is the heart of the gospel; it makes the gospel good news. Christ died for us; He has stood in our place before God’s judgment seat; He has borne our sins. God has done something on the cross which we could never do for ourselves. But God does something to us as well [...]
“I fear that the cross, without ever being disowned, is constantly in danger of being dismissed from the central place it must enjoy, by relatively peripheral insights that take on far too much weight. Whenever the periphery is in danger of displacing the center [sic], we are not far removed from idolatry.” (Don Carson)

Good times in Terrigal last night at the Gosford High School Class of 1998 10 Year Reunion. It was really good. I thought it could be a weird time, but it wasn’t! It was very cool to catch up with peeps I haven’t seen for yonkers and have some great convo’s. I’ve arranged to catch [...]
Tonight is the Gosford High School Class of 1998 10 Year Reunion. Should be fun. It will be good to turn Facebook stalking into actual conversations. Everyone in 1998 had Green Day’s Time of Your Life as their year 12 song. The vid is below. Peaceout.

Stu Crawshaw has just had his paper, Moving beyond the shock absorber: The place of youth ministry—past, present and future, published on the Briefing website. I read his original and heard it presented at the 2006 Theology of Youth Ministry Conference. It’s brilliant! He has profound insights on the historical movements within youth ministry, and [...]
Our Greek exam is 3 weeks away. We need to be able to translate a number of chunks from anywhere in Mark 1-4. To help familiarise myself with the text, I’ve been listening to the New American Standard Bible (the NASB is a clunky translation… perfect for our 1st year translations), while following along in [...]
Christ Church St Ives began a new series last Sunday night, Reality Bites. It’s a four part series on Truth, Money, Sex and Forgiveness given by Baden Stace. Each week is a good week to bring a friend to hear more about Jesus. Check out the 645 sermon podcast to hear the series or come [...]

I hate abortion. And so I am encouraged by the work of Christian Pastor John Piper in defending the rights of the unborn. Likewise the Abort73 website is doing a great job in standing up for the helpless. In Victoria, some changes to decriminalise abortion have been passed through the Lower House, but still need [...]

How much [...]
