Tonight I was thoroughly admonished for failing to give my all to God and to find my life in losing it for Christ by Christian academic and mathematician, John Lennox. On the one hand, I am beginning to get a taste for it already: I work for a ministry where I get attacked, mocked, and [...]

Feel the love, Moore or less
Posted in Healing and Restoration on 31 August, 2011 (Wednesday) | Leave a Comment »
I’m very delighted to see that Moore Theological College is going to have a seminar next month about the role of feelings in the Christian faith. It is well overdue, and a very, very promising start. My prayer is that it not be a start, but the beginnings of a profound revolution. I would love [...]
The Saul Syndrome: Narcissism, Co-dep., and Insecurity
Posted in Abuse, Anger, Father Heart of God, Grief, Healing and Restoration, Quotes on 29 August, 2011 (Monday) | Leave a Comment »
By far the most popular posts that I have written on this blog are the ones about King Saul, of all things. Heaven knows why… People do a Google search on King Saul and manage to track their way to this blog. Yet he is an intriguing character, because he is such a chilling representation [...]
Adult narcissism and the gay demand for children
Posted in Family, Sexuality, Society on 29 August, 2011 (Monday) | Leave a Comment »
There appeared in The Australian newspaper today a very compelling article on the issue of how gay marriage and adoption will be perilous for children and society and large. H/t to the Oz and the author. It just goes to show that one doesn’t have to be a Christian to believe in the sanctity of [...]
Sy Rogers talks in NZ
Posted in Healing and Restoration, Sexuality on 29 August, 2011 (Monday) | Leave a Comment »
Not long after Sy Rogers moved to New Zealand, he gave a series of talks (10 hours’ worth, in fact) on the issue of sexuality and healing at a church in Wanganui. If you are interested, you can hear them here. Some have foolishly and naively asserted that Sy Rogers’ issues are not homosexuality but [...]
Sharing God’s testimony at MBM
Posted in My Ministry (God's ministry through me), Testimony on 29 August, 2011 (Monday) | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday I went to a church in Sydney’s western suburbs and shared the testimony of God’s goodness in my life. You can view it here (it comes after the sermon on Romans 1:18-32). I shared it 3 times that day and I wept every time, albeit at different points in the story. My best testimony [...]
Song of Songs: Flame of Yah(weh)
Posted in Old Testament, Redeemed Sexuality on 27 August, 2011 (Saturday) | Leave a Comment »
In my core Old Testament Background and Methodology class at Bible college, I am really enjoying the things that I am studying. My prof is taking us through the meta-narrative of the Old Testament by showing us books of the Bible which occasionally to rarely get preached on, including Lamentations, Judges, Canticles (Song of Solomon), [...]

Here’s a great song from the ‘Shrek’ movie that I really like. L’Chaim!
20% Christian?
Posted in Spurgeon on 25 August, 2011 (Thursday) | Leave a Comment »
In his reflection for the morning of August 25, Spurgeon chose a terrific verse to reflect on: Song of Songs 2:3. Here is the crux of it: “His fruit was sweet to my taste.” Faith, in the Scripture, is spoken of under the emblem of all the senses. It is sight: “Look unto me and be [...]
I’m being confirmed: danger/s present
Posted in Bible college, Devotions, Encouragement, Inspiriation, Music: Worship, My Ministry (God's ministry through me), Quotes, Spurgeon on 25 August, 2011 (Thursday) | 1 Comment »
Over the last 5 weeks, I have been induced to the quiet life of theology study at the Wesley Institute. I am thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it. It is challenging me in some ways, informing me in others, but- if anything- it is confirming in me many of my deep suspicions about theology, the Christian life, [...]
