Is Rob Bell a Heretic? Is he even a Christian? Is ‘Love Wins’ heresy? Or have we been the victims of a clever marketing strategy designed to do nothing more than maximise exposure and profits? Andrew Jones called the book ‘a lemon’. Mark Sayers considers it a form of cultural heresy; where ‘heretic’ is the […]

In case you missed it, Rob Bell has written a book! ‘No, really!’ I hear you exclaim in mock amazement. It seems that there isn’t a Christian in the world who hasn’t got an opinion on it. Some have read the book, most (I suspect) have not and never will. But that won’t stop them […]

Last week the press in general took a big stick to Peter Costello for questioning the value of AFL players as appropriate role models for our kids.

I have never in my life done a blog. I’m 46 years old, married with 2 kids and forever thinking that blogging, twittering, face-booking (is that even a word?) was a young mugs game. Not anymore! Time for this balding, grey haired, what-the-hell-is-a-metorsexual-anyway bloke to join the ranting, speculating, conspiracy-theory-loving, opinionated, often heartfelt, sometimes clueless, […]
