Some gold from Carson, and a warning to a busy church like ours:
“We may have all kinds of wonderful ideas about what we as Christians might do, yet somehow never get around to doing any of them. Alternatively, we may immediately proceed to organisation and administration, and never seek, except in a sporadic and accidental [...]

I was reading Acts with Sam this morning, in particular chapter 17 where Paul is attacked by a rioting mob in the city of Thessalonica. That made me think all day about whether as Christians living in Sydney 2007, we face persecution.
I’ve had to go through a number of difficulties as a follower of Jesus [...]

Winter is so much easier when you have a holiday to look forward to.
I’m going to try and take a week off before my next placement starts in august so Sam and I can get away for a while. Someone close to us has been really generous, so we have a small sum of money [...]

Sam and I were out every night last week, so on Saturday night we decided to stay in and watch V for Vendetta on DVD.
I really enjoyed this movie. Directed by the Wachowski brothers of The Matrix Trilogy fame, it follows the Orwellian “1984″ tradition of imagining the future as one big totalitarian state – [...]

What does your work stop you from visiting?

Campusbiblestudy were never this trendy in my day. This is a great idea for a conference website. They’ve obviously been thinking hard.

I wrote how much I enjoyed church a week or so ago, and promised a link to the sermon that Andrew Laird preached that night.

What’s the best freebie you ever got?
