Linkin Park Jesus
|

Linkin Park said, ‘ I tried so hard and got so far. But in the end it doesn’t even matter.’(In The End) They asked the question, ‘Does it matter?’ Their answer is ‘No!’ But they are not happy with the answer. Something is really wrong with human beings.
Creed ask the next question. ‘Why doesn’t it matter anymore? Are we lost?’ Creed said, ‘All that was sacred to us... The covenant has been broken by mankind. Leaving us with no shoulder to rest our head on.’ (Who’s Got My Back)

A mirror to our own failings?
|
|
|
|
Yet another NRL/AFL/Super 14 season descends upon us blighted by numerous scandals involving young footballers running amok. Predictably this is followed by another outpouring of public outrage at the actions of these highly paid professionals crossing so-called moral boundaries.
It gives me reason to pause and consider the spotlight we place on these young footballers and the expectation we put upon them to be ‘role models”.
Do we not all know of friends, relatives, children and nephews that indulge in similar behaviour without the full force of society’s outraged being pressed upon them?
Yet we expect the best of men who have often been pulled directly out of high school, given a pay packet many times that of their peers and an abundance of time with little to occupy them?

JOHN 3:16: Is It Focused On Just People or Something Bigger?
|
|
|
|
Every Christian should know this verse (found on the title above) and also every Christian, young and old is well grounded in this beloved line in the Bible. But as we sometimes get so well accustomed with somethings that they become familiar and at time distorted, this is how we sometimes (or almost always treat this particular line).
John 3:16 reads
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (NIV)
On this particular reading I would like us to focus our attention on a particular word from the verse (the one in bold); world. It is most often taught that the particular word actually points its direction implying humans, and not the world in its literal sense.

Podcast: The Courage of the Son Part I
|
|
|
|
This talk was recorded during Open Week 2008 at Cornerstone Community’s leadership school.
The speaker is Paul Roe.
Summary: The unwavering determination of Jesus to restore mankind - to model for them what they could and should be, and to break the power that is defacing the image of the Father in them. He is dedicated to establishing a kingdom under the strong hand of the Father.

Work it out
|
|
|
|
I grew up in the bosom of fundamental Baptist evangelicalism where our “worship” consisted of an excruciating twenty minute rendition of choruses drawn from a genre inspired by the hippy movement of the late 1960s.
As someone who loves to listen to music (though the dirges of the flower children era wouldn’t count amongst my preferred options) but not blessed with a singing voice, this over-simplification of “worship” left me cold and at times guilty.
I felt most alive when throwing myself recklessly into the apparently un-spiritual pursuits of playing rugby or competing in triathlons.

Jensen on Driscoll
|
|
|
|
Recently Sydney has had the pleasure of hearing an American preacher, Pastor Mark Driscoll. In a two-week period he spoke in many venues, including the Cathedral.
In the Cathedral he twice addressed a packed gathering of Christian workers. His second address was a challenge to our evangelistic ministry of the gospel in this city. He lovingly told us of eighteen problems that he saw we had. It was an address that has caused some considerable discussion amongst Sydney's evangelical community.
Since that address I have been approached by many people wanting my opinion on Mark Driscoll and in particular on his critique of Sydney's evangelism. As one of those who invited Mark to speak to us, I am keen to keep the conversation going and to ride the enthusiasm that he has engendered amongst the next generation of Christian leaders.

This prayer pilgrimage is being supported by the Australian Prayer Network and the Indigenous Prayer Network, Christian groups/churches and individuals all over Australia.
The purpose of the Murray Darling Prayer Pilgrimage is to rally people together to pray for a final end to the drought and for a flood of rain to fill the dams and clean out the Murray Darling River System and avert a human and ecological disaster.
