Without a doubt one of the serious ongoing issues Australia faces is that of asylum seekers. The issue is not isolated to Australia, and if we’re honest, our issue is fairly insignificant compared to that of other countries. Our media treats it as a major issue and politicians are most concerned with stopping the boats. … Read more
The story of creation in Genesis is a source of much debate among Christians. It’s not surprising that the centre of the debate revolves around how literally the passage should be taken. The increase in scientific knowledge has contributed significantly to this. This should not be a bad thing (after all, God is the originator … Read more
Recently I heard my wife describing how she had understood evangelism. To her evangelism was something that was done by the Christian Union at university which normally involved taking a survey among students about Christianity. If this was what it meant to share your faith then she didn’t want to have anything to do with it. I … Read more

Indeed Aslan presents us with a great image of Jesus Christ but there is one thing I believe is incorrect. You know the part. Edmund is rescued from the White Witch. Then she comes and demands him back. As … Read more
I woke up this morning just before 4:00 AM in agony. I had a toothache. It was so painful that I couldn’t get back to sleep and so I found myself walking round the house in such a state that I was probably ready to consume an entire packet of painkillers. I’m going to assume … Read more
A couple of weeks ago there was a report claiming that there was more poo in the average man’s beard than in a toilet. I can just imagine shopkeepers rubbing their hands together in anticipation of a spike in shaving items as hipsters rush out to rid themselves of their dirty facial hair. The report … Read more
They say you should never judge a book by its cover. I totally ignored this advice because I love the cover of this book but this is far from the best part of the book. I quickly found this out as I became engrossed in the pages that followed. The Making of an Ordinary Saint … Read more
