Dear ACL, This is now the umpteenth email I have received from you concerning same sex marriage.

So I needed to do some banking stuff this morning, and like I usually do I went to my mobile app to do it. Through a series of mistakes (all mine) the bank suspended the transaction, fair enough. I then went to call the number suggested by the bank, only to be told that they […]

It is time for the Church to cry ‘Jesus is Lord’! In the early days of Christianity, when Rome was the dominant power and Caesar was considered divine, the crowds shouted ‘Caesar is Lord’.

Australia Day is gazetted as a national public holiday where we’re supposed to celebrate all the things that make this country so good. Except… I’ve been reading some of the articles, posts and speeches, and suddenly I don’t really feel like celebrating. The reasons why can fall into 2 groups Group 1 is the “I’m […]

Mark Driscoll will not be coming to the Hillsong Conference. Even after his very public removal from ministry and the demise of Mars Hill church, it seems […]

On the weekend I got an email from the Australian Christian Lobby. I get regular emails from them and other Christian political groups, telling me about the latest struggle in their fight against abortion, euthanasia, same sex marriage etc (I’ve never subscribed to their websites, yet somehow they seem to have obtained my email address, […]

I realise how risky this post might be. I’ve stood back a bit on the whole asylum seeker thing for a while now. But I’m growing more uncomfortable with our treatment of asylum seekers with each passing day. Here’s why: 1) Its inhumane. we seem to have breached a number of international conventions and laws […]
