    A sermon about being what Jesus calls us to be.

    "Salt and Light" Matthew 5:13-16 I often don't feel like "salt" and "light." I can be pretty self-centered. I often say things I shouldn't say and do things I shouldn't do. I'm not always nice. And I would imagine that Jesus' first disciples probably felt pretty much the same ...read more

     | 5,015 views

    Today the neglect of the Bible and of God in society is evident. The separation of Church and state was originally designed to protect both Church and state, but is now used to subjugate any influence of God in politics?

Australia voted and it seems no-one really likes any particular party. The common definition of democracy is “government of the ...read more
