The tongue: A two-edged sword (names we give)

The tongue: A two-edged sword (names we give)

I grew up surrounded by jocular, fun-loving rascals. What a bunch? I remember Gunboat, Lofty, Bozo, Wombat, Crafty, Piggy and Cyrano just to name a few..

  • The Pope: A cult leader or Christ’s chosen?

    The Roman Catholic Church promotes itself as the ‘one true church’, largely based off their suggested succession of the Apostle Peter.

  • If salvation was like a job interview

    “So, tell me about yourself? What are your weaknesses and strengths? Why should I let you into My heaven?”

  • Clergy: “Shoot or don’t shoot!”

    Angry pills are in the air. Across America factions have created their gangs, violent clashes erupt with physical, verbal and ugly consequences.

  • Taking the plunge…

    A recent survey of people under 30 asked when they saw themselves as adults. Many thought they became adults around the age of 30.

  • Not everything that looks good, is good

    Mmmmm…candy apples. Shiny red fruit with the explosion of delicious juice right after the crunch. Its luring red toffee gently reflects the light that hits it, seductively enticing the eater to bite into it.

  • Crumbs

    Some time ago I was asked to do an interview with a dear friend, an octogenarian I have known for a very long time.

  • Ken Duncan - People of Faith

    In 2007 A Current Affair called him ‘an iconic image maker.’ His panoramic art has won world-wide acclaim. His range of panographs are stunning. Ken Duncan is a leader in photographic expression.

  • Middle East Christianity, Threatened

    A few years ago it would have been unthinkable to forecast the extinction of Christianity in the Middle East. We face that threat now. A new film Faithkeepers tells the story in graphic, heartbreaking detail.

  • Taboo or To Do? Is Christianity complimentary with Yoga, Martial Arts, Hallowe'en, Mindfulness and other alternative practises?

    What advice would you give to a mother whose twelve-year old daughter has been told that after every football training session she must do a compulsory yoga session to unwind?

  • Oh – did I offend you?

    Well, tough bikkies. I’m not apologising. I did not put you down, I was not disparaging in any way, I simply spoke what I believe to be truth.

  • Amelia

    Bunnings must be one of the most blokeish places on the planet. So imagine my surprise when I was confronted by Amelia.
