Australia Day

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 7, 2005

Australians long to own a piece of Australia, but we need to recognise that before we own anything God owned it first and he owns us as well.

What does it mean to be Australian? What’s important to us as Australians? Well you’d have to say a number of things to answer those questions wouldn’t you? Our freedom matters. We love the fact that this is a land where we’re free to do what we want. That’s certainly the reason that many ...read more

Thanksgiving Day

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 16, 2020

The Apostle Paul did not write 365 thank-you notes. But he did write about one-half of the letters that make-up the New Testament. And Paul’s letters overflow with thanksgiving.

Practicing gratitude magnifies positive feelings more than it reduces negative feelings. To illustrate: John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low ...read more

King For A Day
