Month: March 2007

I was asked what my thoughts were on a woman's role and church (here and at church).  As requested, here is a link to a free book edited by John Piper.  Also this website has some helpful resources.  Plus this one (an Australian site).  Let me know what you think…

The answer is simple: to spread the gospel, of course.  Read more…

Mark Driscoll hasn't blogged much this year.  In this post he explains some of the reasons.  It's an encouraging post with some helpful wisdom on running the distance.

Here is the latest episode of On the Poddy. Jono Vink is one of our link missionaries… super-encouraging episode.

Crossfire has just kicked off.  Uber-exciting. Pray for Sam and the team.

On the way to scripture today I reflected on an answer that I’ve heard many times from young teens (or late primary students). In answer to a question like: “Why did Jesus have to die?”, they answer “If he didn’t we wouldn’t be here today.”

What’s that mean?? It may have some truth in it based on how history and culture has worked itself out over the past 2000 years, but is there any theological basis? I don’t think so. The world would look different… but I think they’ve misunderstood something of what Jesus’ death achieves.

Funnily enough there was one boy today who wrote the above answer almost verbatim!!!
