Some time ago here in Melbourne, a priest held a funeral service for a petty criminal who was also known by the priest and many friends to be an atheist. In his eulogy the priest spoke about the man and his meeting with God. Someone later said, “But Father, he didn’t believe in God.” The priest replied, “Well he does now.” Those words came to mind when reading of the death in December of a well-known British strident atheist intellectual, author and journalist, who, apparently Continue reading
A television presenter recently interviewed a couple whose family was experiencing severe trials and she said, “Our thoughts and prayers are with you.” It was the second time that I’ve heard this presenter use those words, but I have also heard her on another occasion express uncertainty about the existence of God. A man on the radio told his listener something similar but added, “I hope God or Jesus, He or she or whatever, will hear.” A little while ago a well known politician here said, “To the great God and Creator of us all, I thank Him – or her, as well.” Doubting the certainty of God unleashes the 
I was blessed by listening to a church pastor the other day on the Internet telling us he loves to pray and that, “I can’t live without prayer.” He told us there was no way he would know what to do or know what people are thinking if he didn’t pray. More, “you have to pray without ceasing to keep your mind clear and be able to rise to every challenge that besets you.” I paused the video at that point to give some thought to not just what he was saying, but also to the passion with which he was expressing it. He wasn’t a shouter strutting back & forth across his stage like so many of them, he 
It was around the time of the first Gulf War when I asked the young man in his early twenties if I could talk to him about his salvation and he matter-of-factly said, “I don’t have any belief in your God or your gospel and I hate everything they stand for!” He told me he was a University student who held to a Marxist-Leninist world view. I thought of him recently when reading these statements: Vladimar Lenin – “We must teach our children to hate. Hatred is the basis of Communism.” Anatole 
On several occasions on this blog I have mentioned that many Christian people do not join or attend churches because they are searching for truth and a desire to live it out under the power of the Holy Spirit. Every so often I am reminded of this when meeting up with someone that I have not seen for a period of time. When coming face to face with him/her, the first thing I notice is the smile … a kind of “switch-it-on-now” smile, followed by some “appropriate” Christian-speak such as, “Good to see you, what a lovely day God has given us, how are you?” It’s not that they are expecting an answer to that; it’s 
The other day on the Internet I came across an article on how to speak confidently and intimidate people. The article suggested that sometimes people will need to speak more confidently, whether for the purpose of intimidating others or to keep them from intimidating you. More - “speaking confidently to intimidate people involves having more confidence, authority and a sense of self-importance.” I can’t say I agree with the last bit of that statement. From what I’ve experienced of intimidators, they 
For the past couple of months it has felt as though God has had me attend His school of divine physical healing. As is the usual practice when asking the Lord what is on His heart that He wants me to know about Him or His church, He begins to place certain things on my heart or quicken me through the Scriptures. Then in some way, shape or form He’ll follow up on that by bringing some information & teaching my way. Along with the Bible, one of the methods the 
It’s over twenty years ago since I first heard these recorded words from an overseas Bible teacher, “God’s truth is held in tension. All the things in the word of God are given to us in balancing factors, always … spirit and truth.” He said, “All truth, you dry up - all spirit, you blow up … spirit and truth, you grow up.” He called it “the balancing factor in God” and stressed that if you are in any group or church and you begin to see only one truth expressed everywhere, then also begin to suspect over-emphasis, out of balance … take caution. In other words, don’t 
When forced to choose between the swastika of Nazi Germany and the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ, Adolf Hitler was convinced that German Christians wouldn’t hesitate to betray, “their God.” Speaking of the church leaders, he said, “They will betray their God to us. They will betray anything for the sake of their miserable jobs and incomes.” Hitler was mad but he was not stupid … he understood what drives human nature like most people will never understand it, including far too many Christians. As a result, most 
A well known public figure here wrote in her memoirs that she had always looked for meaning in life. On a TV interview recently, she was asked, “Have you found it?” She replied that she didn’t think so and, “I don’t know why but I’m always looking. I’m looking for deep, meaningful, reciprocated love that’s probably even more than most people find. And I’m always looking for something above the ordinary.” Because the TV interviewer knew something What’s This?
