Reality Revelations

A constant, but remarkable observation for me always, was the apathy and indifference demonstrated by the middle-class in the community, towards the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Here I was, a messenger, equipped with the greatest news possible for each and every one of them, operating under the authority and empowerment of the greatest News Director in all the universe, and they Read the rest of this entry »

The lady looked to be in her mid-thirties and was of southern European heritage.  She told me that she, “used to go to church,” but had not done so for many years.  She had guilt written all over her when telling me this.  She went on to say that she had been divorced for fourteen years, she had a fourteen year-old daughter which she found difficult to bring up alone and that life for her was, Read the rest of this entry »

I walked around the back of the house and I saw the man sitting on some out-house doorsteps stirring a tin of paint with an electric drill.  As he looked up at me I said to him, “You need Jesus Christ.”  He quickly responded by saying, “I’ve been looking for Him.” Read the rest of this entry »

As a messenger of the gospel of Jesus Christ working in one of Melbourne’s middle-class suburbs, I learned to discern very quickly the plight of so many individual people.  Guilt, fear, confusion, worry, anger, anxiety, hurts, bitterness etc – if these were not verbally expressed, then they’d be written on their faces and if not on their faces it would show up in their eyes.  I tried to make no judgements about this however, because many of these emotions are what motivated me for 39 years also.  But when I met the Lord Jesus Christ He began to release me from them.
