Human Being Recall Notice

[I recently received this great picture of our condition from Shane Whitbourn in Portland, Victoria. Be inspired to share it with friends.] The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units, code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed, "Sub-sequential Internal Non-morality," or more commonly known as...

Are we in Jesus?

I have been challenged recently by the question "are we in Jesus?" It goes to the heart of the matter getting us to look inwardly and outwardly to see if our lives are found in our Saviour. While I was attending the opening of the Cooloola Christian Radio’s new studios I was blessed to hear this grace from Station Manager, Gordon Thomason. Gordon told how he had heard it a long time ago from a Papua New Guinea missionary. It was a timely prayer for me and I pray for you as well. Bless this food upon our dishes, As you did bless the loaves and fishes, And like the sugar in our...

Recently I have spent some time with young man from New Zealand. Over the last few days I’ve got to know this young man who is passionate, focused and looking to live his life for God. He certainly has been an inspiration in a short space of time. I know that he would be the first to admin that he doesn’t have it all together but what he has recognised in his own life is valuable. He has prepared his heart for growth and change. I think it is valuable thing when your greatest asset is your name. It speaks to integrity. Because this man was recommended to me by a friend, I spent...

We all need a launching pad

Posted by on Aug 6, 2007 in Faith & Life, Life, UCB | 0 comments

I was clearing some material from around my desk recently and I found a note from John Fabrin, friend and CEO for the Rhema Broadcasting Group in New Zealand. At a past conference John had grabbed a piece of paper and written the words "The Message – Ephesians 1:11 – It’s Cool!" And he’s right. This note from John has been stuck on my whiteboard for a long time, reminding me of its very special content. Let me show you what I mean. It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we first heard of Christ and got our...
