How Majestic Is His Name Series

Contributed by James Jack on Jun 9, 2007

Our worth as human beings lies not in ourselves but in our majestic creator God.

I’m writing school reports at the moment. It’s something I hate doing.

The Foolishness Of Ignoring God Series

Contributed by James Jack on Jun 9, 2007

The fool says in his heart, "there is no God."

The word “fool” doesn’t get as much use now as it once did. If one of my mates does something profoundly stupid I don’t usually cry out “you fool”. I might say “you are such an idiot” or “what a goose”. I’m sure many people you know would use much more colourful language than that. Fool is one of ...read more

Relying On God Series

Contributed by James Jack on Jun 9, 2007

In a culture which prizes self-sufficiency, we need to rely on God.

Australian males prize self-sufficiency. It’s not masculine to ask anyone else for help. It’s not macho to admit that you can’t handle something on your own. I’m probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to having this sort of attitude. I hate anyone having to show me how to do anything, ...read more

Is It Worth Following God? Series

Contributed by James Jack on Jun 9, 2007

Asaph asks the question - is it worth following God? When you look at life from an eternal perspective, the answer is clear.

The Hope Of Life

Contributed by James Jack on Dec 14, 2005

The hope we have in Christ is a living hope that will never perish, spoil or fade.

1 Peter 1:3-12 You might have heard the old saying “where there’s life, there’s hope”. That saying tells us how important hope is to people, because if we reverse it, it says “where there’s hope, there’s life” – which means that where there’s no hope, there’s death. As humans, we live on hope. ...read more
