    Contributed by Phil Smith on Feb 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,987 views

    The pursuit of happiness is a western deception that even takes Christians captive. As followers of Christ, we are in the pursuit of holiness; to glorify God by becoming what he means for us to be. Holiness is the wonderful opportunity of grace.

    Ro 8:22-23 - 22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

     | 2,711 views

    Delivered as if Ananias were telling his story about encountering Paul: The Spirit calls us to believe that others can be changed, that if we do not go to them the consequences are large, and that others need a human touch from us.

    I had always prided myself on understanding people. I had always thought I knew enough about the human mind that I could predict what a man would be like on the basis of what he had always done. After all, if a person is a thief when he is a child, you expect that he will be a cheating thief when ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,093 views

    In Christianity we have God revealed to us in a way that none other can claim, as a God who gives up his own life to bring all people back to himself.

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself. I guess we’re all aware of the Atheists’ conference held in Melbourne in February. You may even ...read more

    A strange place to kneel down. And yet on the bare floor of this stable, his knees fell to the floor. It was like the clouds opened and as the star shone down it all made sense. And Melchior fumbled in his cloak and brought Gold to bring to the King - to the King who wasn’t the sort of monarch he ...read more
