Letter from Australia 11 – The Best Things in Life are…?

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I recall a Christian friend in Scotland giving me a wee fridge magnet that just simply said, ‘the best things in life are not things”.   I thought about that this past Tuesday when our ‘things’ arrived.

Third Space – An Interview with The Gospel Coalition Australia

In yesterday’s blog I spoke about the enormity of the task that we face here in Australia.  Here is an interview I did with the Gospel Coalition Australia – which expands on that a bit more.   The key question, in Australia, the UK and the US, is whether the Church is prepared to face up to the underlying difficulties and whether, when we do, we … Continue reading Third Space – An Interview with The Gospel Coalition Australia

Letter from Australia 9 – Third Space – the Beginning

Brothers and Sisters, Social media is sometimes quite deceptive. The trouble is that the impression given by Facebook posts or Tweets is almost always wrong, because it is incomplete.   Some people’s FB feeds read as though they are living the perfect life in paradise, full of smiling faces, purring cats and holidays in the sun. Some Twitter feeds read as if the Tweeter is in … Continue reading Letter from Australia 9 – Third Space – the Beginning
