I caught up with a friend yesterday – someone I haven’t really talked to in awhile. He told me that he would no longer call himself a Christian – which surprised me. He used to be “on fire”, so to say, but is now in a state of being unsure – unsure of whether God [...]

I’m quite tired and don’t really feel like putting thought into a blog post, so this is really just a short post to bring attention to a NEWS.com.au poll today: “Are Kevin Rudd and John Howard right to oppose gay marriage?”. The question was brought on by Kevin Rudd’s announced committal today to gay marriage [...]

No, this isn’t a politically motivated rant against Kevin Rudd – but just a mention of a funny video. You can always rely on the uncensored and uncontrollable world that is the Internet to dig up the dirt on anyone who doesn’t want their dirt dug up.
Take a look at the video, and watch a [...]

As a Christian, one of the things I do often (but not as often as I wish I did) is spend time with God in a quiet place – where I can just talk to Him, read His Word, and play worship songs on my guitar.

What’s one indication that a church has become more of a worldly business than a church? When it starts getting involved in litigation. After Today Tonight showed three “exclusive” stories last week claiming that 5 of 9 Australian Idol finalists were members of Hillsong Church and that Hillsong “encouraged” it’s members to vote for these [...]

Two quickies – unrelated except for the fact that they’re both related to politics (and no, none of my opinions are in here, see the last post for the reason ).
If you don’t know who you’re voting for yet, I suggest checking out NEWS.com.au’s Vote-a-matic – tagged ‘yes, your computer can tell you [...]

I’m applying for work today with the Australian Electoral Commission. This upcoming election being the first time I’m eligible to vote, I’ve started to become very interested in politics and Australia’s electoral system, so I thought it would be a great idea to see what sort of temporary election work I could find so I [...]
