Following Jesus - growing as a disciple

Christians, keep boxing.

A shed in Yatala in SE Queensland seems like an unlikely place from which greatness can grow. And yet it has. 3 women Aussie boxers are now world title contenders. The shed in Yatala and the seed in the Kingdom of Heaven have a lot in common.

1883 and Taylor Sheridan's heaven

Taylor Sheridan of Yellowstone fame is carving up our screens. I recently devoured the blood soaked Western 1883. Here's my reflections on it. This reflection is 100% spoiler because of the story telling arc of 1883 and the message behind it: freedom.

A prayer for peace

The world seems more dangerous than ever. One thing we can do is pray. This is a short and simple prayer.

Who is God - the character of God

Who is God and what does he want?

There are two different ways of thinking about God (primarily). One of them is 100% wrong. That’s the bad news. But the good news is that the other is 100% correct. Understand these two different ways and you have the key to understanding God, the great news of Jesus and the Bible.

A theology of risk for serving Jesus

If you’re a Christian believer or a mission organisation, how do you evaluate risk? Or put another way, do you have a theology of risk?

Colin Apelt is an amazing guy. He is 92 years old and serves drinks in a palliative care unit in a Brisbane hospital. But what is really amazing about this story is how it avoids the topic of death.

Did Jesus really live and die? Even sceptical scholarship reveals a 'yes'

Easter - the most important Christian event of the calendar. So important that without Easter Christmas has no point. For Easter is all about Jesus’ death to take away sin for humanity. But is this all just a myth? Can we have any confidence in the historical details? Yes we can. We can know what Christians believed about Jesus as early as 35 AD even from sceptical scholarship.

My life has turned 180 degrees in the last two years through the work of Jesus in my heart and being involved in Risen Church. I was influenced by Jesus but now I’ve become a follower.

Why follow Jesus and not Buddha or Muhammed or Hinduism? And what’s with Christians who just know Jesus is the way to God? That was the essence of the question sent to me on messenger. Here’s my reply, with some extra details.

'This is water' is deep but love is the solution

‘This is Water’ by David Foster Wallace is one of the most read speeches on the internet of all time. And it is deep. But he fails to understand that we are shaped and driven by love rather than thinking. Love is the solution.
