Searching for God
Are Christians Fooled by Jesus?
Are Christians fooled by Jesus? Let’s ponder on whether this Jesus guy is real, or are christians all around the world duped by him? There’s a quote by Mark Twain that says, “It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they were fooled”. Once people have made a decision and invested themselves whether physically, […]
First Steps in a Spiritual Journey
Yvette outlines the first steps she took to follow God. Sometimes it’s in the heartbreak that we can find our break through. Ever been exhausted and frustrated as a parent? Looking for answers to your identity?
Hearing God: How can we hear His voice?
How can we hear God’s voice? “What does God want from me”? As a kid on the farm, mustering sheep was a dusty business, hot conditions had burnt the grass to a shrivel, and sheep’s hooves pounded any leftovers. The simmering heat matched our tempers; sheep were frightened by narrow gates and blustering motorbikes. We’d […]
Heaven Can’t Wait, The First Chapter…
DARKNESS FALLS CHAPTER 1 No matter how many good decisions we make, when life throws unexpected challenges, we can find ourselves at a loss. It’s at those times that we question our purpose in life and reason for being, which is what happened when life overwhelmed me. We lived in a nice house in leafy […]
How can we know what’s true?
There’s a real story of a Father who confessed to killing his 3 year old daughter, Riley. On face value this appears to be true. But dig a little deeper and we can find the start of this tragedy of justice. Riley was found to be missing when the Father was woken on June 6 […]
How does God intervene in our lives?
Below is an interview that shows how God works his mysterious wonder. David’s powerful testimony showed how God intervenes today. But it also showed how an ordinary person (Genevieve) introduced David to the idea of actually meeting God! David Bennett continues in another interview… “Three weeks after the pub moment, I was at Tropfest, and […]
How does God still exist today?
How does God still exist today? So if Jesus, who is God, existed back around 2000 years ago, how can He still be among us today? It’s amazing to realise it but the world we see, touch, hear, taste and smell- that’s only part of a world we live in; the physical realm. There is […]
I’ve tried connecting with God and he doesn’t answer
Persevering despite discouragement There’s a classic line in the iconic Australian movie, The Castle, by Dale Kerrigan. “Hey Dad, I dug a hole”. The father, Darryl, is so proud of his son. Dale is passionate about digging holes, he loves it, and you just can’t stop him! Makes me think about our own lives. What […]
If God is so loving, why all the suffering?
If God is so loving, why doesn’t he heal me? This is such a big stumbling block for people, they reason if God is so powerful he should take away the suffering. Or maybe he isn’t that powerful after all? I hear you. Suffering sucks. Not gonna lie, I hate it. And if we are […]

The Rescuer’s Heart
The Rescuer’s Heart Hearing of the Thailand soccer team being found alive in a cave brought us to tears. The thought of 13 kids, 1km deep underground and 4km from the entrance, all alone in the darkness for 10 days; goodness, we can only imagine their despair and desperation. What were they thinking? After the ninth day, […]
What’s so Good about Friday?
What’s so Good about Friday? Good Friday is a mourning time for Christians around the world. It’s the day we remember the sacrifice made by Jesus. In Jerusalem it’s the year 30 AD. Days before the first Good Friday. Jesus had been at peak popularity. Already he had healed the blind and lame, calmed storms […]
Where did God come from?
Where did God come from? I was first asked this question from a wide-eyed 5 year old in my scripture class. And I must say, I thought it was a silly question at the time. Not that I told the kindergarten kid that. But that question hasn’t stopped being asked over the years. Having this […]
Who is God?
Who is God? To make a solid connection with people, it’s easier when we know their character; to know their likes and dislikes. The same can be said for knowing God. So who is God? God doesn’t have favourites. Footy fever has hit the Sutherland Shire; Sutherland Sharkies winning the Premiership has been a long […]
Why doesn’t God answer my prayer?
Why doesn’t God answer my prayer? This question is often asked, and quickly followed by another, “If God is so good, why is their suffering in the world?” I’d love to delve into the motive behind these questions; on face value they seem innocent enough, but the attitude behind it can be audacious. Some people, not […]
Why doesn’t God hear my prayers?
Why doesn’t God hear my Prayers? Just putting it out there, God does hear all prayer, he is on top of everything! The question is more like, why doesn’t God answer our prayer? One of the reasons that God doesn’t answer our prayer has to do with sin. Isaiah 1:15 says, ‘When you spread out your hands, […]
