Whilst out walking the other day I was doing some intercessory prayer for the church and not long into it, I received a mental picture of people gathered together in their respective groups or denominations all over the nation. I saw faces both young and old all sitting passively, giving their best attention to the man or woman …

Praying for The Dead is A Lie
A day or so after the assassination of terrorist bin Laden, a Roman Catholic priest here in Melbourne made headlines by challenging his people to forgive him and pray for him. According to the newspaper the priest said bin Laden was a man who needs all the prayers he can get as he goes before God. “It’s hard …
Nothing More than a Religious Figurehead
For the past couple of weeks I’ve been getting mental pictures of people in church attendance on a Sunday morning. During praise and worship there’s more than the odd one giving the impression they’d rather be somewhere else. A few others are going through the motions – lips moving, but it’s doubtful that the same is applying …
What an Astounding Reality!
For the purpose of participating in a Real Time Evangelism – Scripture Blog Tag Event I was recently invited by my fellow blogger and sister in Christ, Lynn Baber at www.lynnbaber.com to share my three favorite Scripture verses. And just as Lynn expresses in her post, “the biggest problem was narrowing my Scriptures down to only three …
Religious Nut-cases & Idiots
As they do every Easter, the TV channels once again this year gave news snippets from around the world of people celebrating this event. And as always, the news footage was limited to celebrations taking place in the English (Anglican/Episcopalian), Romanist and Orthodox cathedrals, with news readers using such language as, “Christians around the world” …
Dumb & Ignorant Statements

His testimony landed him a book deal, it’s now published and has become a best-seller. In her introduction to the interview with him and his parents, the television presenter said, …
Always Closer to The Lie than to The Truth
A popular Roman Catholic priest here in Melbourne set up a mobile, drive-through confessional so as sinful drivers could “repent on-the-run.” A numbered sin-selection list commonly known as, “The Seven Deadly Sins” was taped to the priest’s “Hopemobile”: lust, gluttony, greed, laziness, wrath, envy, pride. Just as one does when ordering food from a fast-food outlet, a driver then pulled …

The Violation of Universal Principles
I was conducting a training course recently, and in giving the group a little background about myself I informed them that for the past 25-plus years I had stood for the Lord Jesus Christ and His gospel. In addition, I mentioned that although my experiences in life had been quite varied, I discovered that my life did not even begin to work …
Taking Pot Shots at The Church
During his sermon a few years ago, the pastor said, “There are those who seem to delight in taking pot shots at the church.” Not only was he making reference to criticisms from the unbelieving world, but also to practicing Christians. He was new to this particular fellowship so he then spent a little time sharing with us his beliefs …
What’s Missing from Christianity?
Just before he was about to preach his message, a Christian man shared how he had been rushing to get to the service. In relation to the near 200 kilometer drive, he said, “I set the cruise control on my car at 120 kph, ran a couple of lights, but I made it in time.” In the group, it …
