The Three Legs of Faith
June 16th, 2011 | 
Author:
A three-legged stool or table is an incredibly stable piece of furniture. A two-legged table is not able to balance, and if you sit a four-legged table on an uneven surface it will rock and wobble; but a three-legged table will sit solidly, balancing itself perfectly.

False Messiahs, Doomsday Prophets & Hate Cults
It must be something in the air at the moment – there seems to be a rash of crazies staking their claim to their fifteen minutes of fame, and all of it in the name of God.
Here in Australia, a fairly ordinary-looking bloke named A J Miller is claiming that his real name is Jesus Christ, and th read more
Dealing With Offense
My father in the Lord, Rev. Charles Widdowson, often used to say that it is as wrong for a Christian to take offense as to give it. In the early days of my Christian walk I couldn’t quite understand why that would be so, but now I can see at least two reasons.

It All Just Happened? I Don’t Think So!
We had just arrived home after our Thursday night worship service. It was a cold, clear winter night, and in our rural area the brilliance of the sky is unhindered by street lights. Above us a countless array of stars sparkled like diamonds set against black velvet, and the soft misty glow of the Mi read more

New and Old
It’s a new year. Of course, that’s only true in the western world that counts January 1st as the beginning of the year – other cultures observe different New Year’s Days. Technically, to observe a true new year, we would need to know the date on which God first spoke the word read more

Blessed Christmas 2009
Here in Australia it is Christmas morning. Although the temperature on Wednesday soared to 39 Celsius, this morning is pleasantly cool and the predicted top is in the low twenties. The tree is up, and surrounded with presents for family and friends. The food for today’s lunch is all prepared. read more
