Down to Earth Preaching

down to earth

With the launch of a new service comes an opportunity to do some things different. I’m quite convinced that all along we were meant to hear God’s word preached from people who were real, genuine and authentic in their walk with God. Check out 2 Corinthians 4:7, which talks about how our frailty on the… [Continue Reading]

This is going to be a really quick one. I’m heading off for a one week holiday with my parents, my sister and her extended family. It’s a really big family get together of sorts, and I’m really grateful to my parents for organising this (Disneyworld in case you’re wondering!). The site is going to… [Continue Reading]

Freemium Christianity

gift of anticipation, The_t_nt

Well. Easter is coming up, and I can’t really help but connect a lot of the dots between what’s going on in my “nerd” world, the “business” world and my “seminary” world. I’m sitting here at a cafe, there’s a book on Pauline Theology on the table (Paul: An Outline of His Theology by Ridderbos),… [Continue Reading]

If you keep reading this post, you’ll hear reasoning for it, and a bit of what we’ll be talking about for this proposed message. One of the… [Continue Reading]

Family devotionals

It’s been a while since I’ve written something personal about my family so there’s definitely quite a lot I can choose to talk about. Over the next few weeks you’ll likely see more updates. But for now, I’m going to fuse Emma’s request for more book reviews and my overwhelming appreciation for this book together… [Continue Reading]

Grace and her drums

BeReady

Just went through our camera videos and decided to start posting a few family videos up. This is the first instalment. Probably all parents think they’re kids are cool and now I know why. Grace is actually hitting the drum notes on beat (and when they land in the Guitar Hero World Tour game –… [Continue Reading]

Back in Oz for a week

DSC_2184

It was so good to get back to Australia … even if it was for a week. I hadn’t really realised how much I missed hearing the Aussie accent, and seeing friends and family. It was like putting on your favourite pair of socks! (mine are actually so old they have holes and May Yen… [Continue Reading]

Apple picking at Edwards Orchids

A few weekends ago we decided to take a 1.5 hour drive out to the Midwest Country-side to do some apple picking before the weather turned bad. The day was forecasted to be raining and wet, but praise God! it was perfect weather. It turned out to be a really great day. We picked a… [Continue Reading]

Ok, I know I'm a day late, but Magic Kingdom opened yesterday and Disney's blog (I know you're all following that blog everyday) just posted this amazing video of a day in the life of Magic Kingdom. Created using still photography and a technique called tilt-shift photography, I've got to say its the coolest thing… [Continue Reading]
