Two lose wrongful life case [smh]

The High Court today ruled against two severely disabled people who claimed they should not have been born.

In what’s been termed a case of “wrongful life,” the judges found the pair did not have a right to mount a case for negligence against their mothers’ doctors.

High Court Judgment

Can you imagine the precedent that would have been set if the case went the other way!!!

Dave’s Backyard

Just listening to a sermon. Put these photos into a collage. The photos were taken in my backyard while preparing some talks in Ezekiel. They’re taken with my phone (the camera on it).


Good night.

The Cross

I’ve just been reading through the opening chapters of CJ Mahaney’s book Living the Cross Centered Life

“The Cross is the blazing fire at which the flame of our love is kindled, but we have to get near enough for its sparks to fall on us.” John Stott

“The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough…Moreover, our greatest task is to keep you faithful to this article and to bequeath this treasure to you when we die.” Martin Luther

“For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” 1Corinthians 1:18 ESV

“But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” Galatians 6:14 ESV

May our boast be only in the cross.

Is Jesus ‘da bomb’!??

Yesterday we started a new Bible series with our year 7-9 G-TEAMS @ Operation 24/7. Last year we looked at Hebrews 1-4 for a term and this term we are going to finish Hebrews and look at chapter 5-13.

I’ve come up with a summary (at least it’s a work in progress) of the book to help them keep it all in context.

1) Who is it written to? A bunch of Jewish Christians
2) What are they warned against? Going back to the old way (Judaism)
3) What are they encourage to do? Persevere in Christ
4) Why? Because Jesus is ‘da Bomb!

My point is that Jesus is far superior to the old covenant, he’s far superior to Moses, Angels, High Priests, Melchizedek, etc…

Question:
Do you think it’s appropriate to talk about Jesus in those terms?
Can we say that ‘he’s the bomb’?

What do you think??
