    In the middle of an argument, my Mum would say something like this - "Maybe if you LISTENED for a change, you would understand what I am trying to tell you!" So often I am not so much listening but simply waiting for the other person to finish so that I c

    based on 16 ratings
     | 4,202 views

    Wait a minute! No, this is not about "15 minutes of fame". It’s about "sowing and reaping" longterm. It’s not "The Farmer wants a wife". It’s the FARMER WANTS A CROP. Jesus may have achieved CELEBRITY STATUS but He is not interested in walking out on the

    Matthew 13:1-17 - A BACKHOE WOULDN’T GO ASTRAY! - Part 2 Just as well He didn’t come to HOLLYWOOD. I can see some of his key people pushing back the fans who crowd in and just want to get close enough to touch the edge of his coat or get His AUTOGRAPH.

    Gordon Brown, Englands Prime Minister describes a widow as a "BIGOTED WOMAN". Jesus calls a Samaritan woman A DOG. The Disciples are told to go ONLY to Israel. Is Jesus a Racist?

    Should we have to pay to use music which was written as a worship song to the Lord? I guess I could equally ask should Pastors be paid money to preach and minister in their Church or should they do that free of charge, as unto the Lord?

    Part 8 - Matthew 10:8-10 - I AM NOT WORTHY.... OR AM I? My wife once worked for a Christian Copyrighting organisation called CCLI (CHRISTIAN COPYRIGHT LICENSING INTERNATIONAL). It was established in Australia to provide churches with an easy and affordable solution to complex copyright issues. The ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 31, 2010
    based on 17 ratings
     | 21,121 views

    God chooses to answer me not because I have needs, but because I bring those needs to Him rather than try to meet them in my own strength. And He is not all that keen on repetition.

    Matthew 6 – Part 3 - WHY PRAY IF GOD ALREADY KNOWS MY NEEDS? So what is the use of praying if God already knows what I need? Matthew 6:7 and 8 says “When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again ...read more

    based on 6 ratings

    This seems like such a weak way to do things. Men like to just fight and then it’s done with. What is this forgiveness thing all about.

    Matthew 6 – Part 4 – I CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU! I did something terribly wrong to a lady once by speaking against her and influencing my client (her son) to go against her. I was wrong and eventually my sin caught up with me. I knew I would have to apologise and so I went to her ...read more

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 4, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,269 views

    Now here’s a passage that many Christians use to say that we ought to live in poverty and give away everything we own to the poor. Or the watered down version says that we should never be rich, only just earn enough money to live.

    Matthew 6 – Part 6 - SO ARE YOU SAYING GOD WANTS ME TO BE POOR? I’ve never had all that much money in my life. Still don’t. But I’ve never lived in poverty either. I remember being down to I think $10 in our account. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be rich, but mostly all I want is to ...read more

    Now we have a real problem here. We are told to hunger for Righteousness but this seems to contradict other scriptures that says that this kind of lifestyle is impossible for us to live.

    Jesus is talking to His disciples on the mountain and this is the leadership lesson!- Get mad at someone and curse him and you go to hell! Wooh! How do you feel with this encouraging word so far?

    Matthew 5 - Part 12 - AM I GOING TO HELL JUST FOR BEING ANGRY? I have always wondered about the statement Jesus makes in Matthew 5:21-26. There are some pretty strong statements made like...
