The season of Advent is well and truly upon us. We are preparing down to celebrate the Messiah’s birth. In the southern hemisphere we enjoy long light filled evenings, warm days and madness in the shops! I suppose that latter characteristic is shared worldwide. The cliches; “know the reason for…

More than 30,000 children in Australia take Ritalin or a similar drug.1
Our society seeks to restrain itself and children with chemicals. This "chemical happiness" measure will lead to many serious body, mind and soul dangers in the years to come. Good, Biblical directive counseling is urgently needed to provide…

It is a strange time in the history of the Church. We have been living off the capital of the Reformation for several centuries. However, we are also experiencing the judgment of God for the Church’s failure to continue believing and obeying the Scriptures. As a nation we are witnessing…

The once blurry Spiritual battle lines are becoming clearer as our children grow up. It seems like the more we seek to apply all of Scripture to our family life, the greater the opposition. I suppose this is to be expected. It is surprising to discover where it comes from.…

Christians across the western world enjoy freedom. We need to ask ourselves; “what are we doing with our freedom?” Now, it depends what I mean by freedom. Yes, we are freed from sin through the atoning death of Christ. So this leads us to ask where this freedom leads us.…

Freedom of conscience is one of Christianity’s trade marks. The Gospel brings liberty. Historically wherever the Protestant faith went liberty was gained, over time. Next time you look at the globe mentally check which nations are free. Research their heritage. You will inevitably find liberation came via consistent, intentional, familial…

Through these articles I have sought to illustrate that we bear the image of God. Genesis 1 reveals that we are made in God’s image and likeness. This carries enormous ramifications. We either faithfully go into the world to beautify/glorify it unto our God or in unbelief we distort the very image…

In the last Image Bearers article I looked at the undergirding principles to the modern view pitting “law versus grace.” As image bearers we ought to desire an understanding of the Scriptures and how they apply to all of faith and life. The image we ought to reflect is that…

Legalism seems to be a loose term wildly thrown about in Christian circles today. It is used to warn believers of the “dangers” of seeking to be faithfully obedient to God’s Word/Law. Seeking to walk obediently before God is often equated with legalism. Labels stick. Nigel Mitchell informs us that…

My wife and I have been blessed with four children. Through the expansion of our family the once blurry Spiritual battle lines are becoming clearer. As our children grow up the point of the “great war’s” engagement is slowly coming more into focus. It seems like the more we seek…

Family Bible reading with a simple exposition by the father seems to be a lost art. I mean exposition that does not put your children to sleep. My children have all had colds for a few days. So have I. This makes small concentration spans minute (I include mine here)!…

On femininity and modesty
‘In seeking to become modest, I became masculine.’ I’m the eldest of seven children. I was blessed by being born into a gung-ho Christian family located in central New Zealand. I was raised to dress modestly. To me, being modest meant wearing clothing which was not…
