I attended the 2008 Theology of Youth Ministry Conference on Thursday and Friday. It was very good. Three highlights: 1) Graham Stanton’s insights on the doctrine of “accommodation” in thinking through 1 Corinthians 9 and incarnational ministry. 2) Ian Fry - he smashed it to bits! 3) Hanging out some cool peeps. Stay tuned for [...]

Scott Petty spoke last night (at Senior High + 645 church) kicking off a week of prayer in preparing for connecting with the St Ives community [...]
This post is true again this year! Last year they were able to find a helmet large enough for my head, this year - they can’t find one big enough!! So my beanie will have to do. Shred Hotham has kicked off well.
To God be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generation [...]

3 Random things: #1) No Saturday morning sleep-in. I’ve been up for a few hours helping some friends move house. I enjoy helping friends move, but I’d hate to be a removalist! #2) I spent a lot of time in the car by myself yesterday. I listened to 3 of my favourite sermons. The series [...]
Okay. If you read edition one of this post, Row said no! We had a great time in Nowra last night. A bunch of peeps became Christian and a bunch more prayed that they would take following Jesus more seriously. Praise God!

06.08Still my Dream Girl
Rowena and I celebrated 5 years of marriage yesterday with a lovely dinner at Ripples, Chowder Bay. I’m not sure if it’s because we’ve been married for 5 years, or because we’re now closer to 30 than 25, but we have started to enjoy listening to VEGA 95.3. If you’re not familiar with VEGA, they [...]
This post comes to you live from Rooty Hill! Had an awesome time with NFC Youth last night - the youth and their parents really got behind the bring a friend night - the numbers doubled… and a number of young guys prayed to become Christian and a whole bunch recommitted their lives to following [...]
I’m a bit of an early adopter. A few years ago I discovered twitter. It now seems that the rest of the world is catching on! Twits update their twitter account from their mobile or computer with what they are doing at any particular time. I subscribe to the ESV daily twitter and get bible [...]
Hallo. Die Einführung in Jesus Life Kultur Design in dieser Woche ist in Deutsch. Die Sprache, Werkzeuge, die von Google sind sehr cool! (Wenn sie nur zur Verfügung standen während griechischen Prüfungen!) Freitag Nacht hat Spaß gemacht. Ich ging zu Quake Jugend und gab einen Vortrag namens “Kopf hoch Emo-Kid” von Job. Es war ein [...]
05.21DMDC update
Sam and Soph are celebrating the 2 year birthday of their blog. Except for these six posts in 2004 and 2005, this blog started properly in early May 2006, with this post. When I let the cat out of the bag, my aim was to be: concise, colourful, original and insightful. I think to varying [...]
Hey, Hey it’s Saturday! Do you like the new name of this Saturday post? It pretty much describes the 4 main areas that I use to categorise regular posts and links. The other finalist was Hey, Hey it’s Saturday! Row liked it, but I think it’s a bit lame…

05.11Good Weekend
The post title says it all! Here are 4 snapshots from the last couple of days. On Friday night I spoke at the Blue Mountains Youthsurge - the sketch of me was drawn by a kid during my interview. The talk was okay - but I’ll be making some significant changes for when I do [...]
