Ben invited me in for a chat when I introduced myself to him at his door. He said he was in his late seventies, an ex-digger who fought in New Guinea during the second world war, but now he was, “sick, divorced twice and happy with my lot.” He was a lovely old bloke but I did not believe that he really was happy with his lot. I had met numerous returned servicemen from wars and I knew many of them to be suffering in silence. He asked me why I was, “doing this kind of work” and my reply was, “so you don’t have to die alone and go into a Christ-less eternity.” Read the rest of this entry »

The day I knocked on Errol’s door, immediately he said, “Come in. I’ve been waiting for you. If you want to know anything about the Bible, talk to me. I can tell you all about the Bible.”
He took me into his study and then asked his wife to make us all a cup of tea. As she was doing so, he enthusiastically proceeded to ask me my thoughts about the accuracy and the validity of the Bible. I responded by saying that in my personal experience, it was everything it claimed to be – the word of God, who has revealed Himself to all mankind in Jesus Christ and that if we embrace its revelations by faith, it will transform our lives.
