Lack of Comments from visitors - weird or…?
Just curious why folk don’t leave comments? I seem to get huge spikes of readers when I post or comment on another blog, but no-one leaves any feedback or comments!Not sure if what I am writing and commenting about is crap or if folk are too shy to say anything!
Would you like to let me know below? LOL Comment?

No Comments »Apologies for the site down!
The site was down for a day - forgot to pay for the domain name renewal - and it was only after trying to upload the last post from my iPhone that I realised what was wrong!
Apologies to the 1 or 2 readers here!

No Comments »Test post from iPhone
Just a simple post from my iPhone, using the free Wordpress app. It took a while to work out the XML issues but now works a charm! Just have to used to the keyboard on the device!

No Comments »Sorry there have been no new posts and more!
But, I have been busy with college and went to UNOH’s Surrender over the weekend!
More on Surrender later - and I hope some more worthy posts!
Tonight, the temperature is dropping to almost 0 degrees celcius and I ask you guys to pray for a fellow called Chris, who may be forced to sleep somewhere on the streets tonight if he can’t find a couch at a mate’s place. The waiting list for crisis accomodation is three weeks at the moment so there was no chance of getting him in anywhere tonight. Please pray for him…

No Comments »Wordle from The Jesus Manifesto
Here’s a cool Wordle from what is known as The Jesus Manifesto - The Sermon on the Mount. I love the fact that the three biggest words are Father, heaven, and will.

No Comments »The truth about what is going on in Zimbabwe right now!
This was sent to me by a good friend and Godly man who has been serving in Africa for past few years, and is from folk’s within Zimbabwe who sent this out as a plea for the Church around the World to pray for the people of Zimbabwe and to be a catalyst for action!
Warning! Some of the pictures in this article are very graphic in nature with images of the result of violence. If you are easily offended or are looking at this with kids, I would suggest waiting till you are ready.
This is what is going on right now in Zimbabwe – the Mugabe Government has termed it ‘Operation Mavoterapapi’ which translated means ‘Operation where did you vote”.
It is such a tragedy and the victims are completely at the mercy of ruthless thugs with a green light to do just as they please. The proposed run-off election is going to be more than unfair – it is a human rights travesty.
The photographs below show the charred remains of farm workers homes on Muniya Farm. (more…)

No Comments »Why Mark is angry!
Mark Broadbent has two articles in the excellent Neoleader site about why he is angry about the church in the Western world. His most recent entry cites some excellent examples why we may not be experiencing success in our mission to share the gospel in Australia.
To many people I’ve met have told me that there’s a reason we are not experiencing evangelistic success in Australia: ‘Australians are just too hard to reach’. I certainly agree that we are not the most spiritual nation on Earth, but I just can’t buy into their argument.
HERE’S WHY:
We’ve given Australians every reason to walk away from Christianity…
1. Catholic priests committing pedophilia
2. TV evangelists asking for money
3. Boring Chapel Services at Private High Schools
4. Boring Church Services
5. Ned Flanders (I love the Simpsons, but Ned is not helping our cause)(If you’re not sure you agree, just watch an episode of The Chasers. They regularly find reasons to pay out Christians).
Go take a look here and here and share your comments here please!

No Comments »What do to with the domain iChurch.com.au?
I own the domain name ichurch.com.au - bought a couple of years ago as an idea for an online “church” utilising social media software that was not quite ready at that time. So, it has been dormant for the last couple of years. At one time I did ask a few of the guys at Forge around Australia if they thought the domain could go for an online magazine for Australian missional emerging churches. But, that was not too well recieved as it was though that there was already a few of those around (US and O/S one sure but where was the Aussie voices?).
So, now I ask you all, the few that read this blog and the many that stumble across these pages, what could this domain be used for? What ideas do you have? What can we do together to utilise the domain for the Kingdom here in Australia?
This is an open call for ideas, suggestions and yes, I am also seeing who would be interested in collaborating!

No Comments »Twitter?
Anyone who reads this use Twitter?
I do, but was curious if it had any following. I started using it to really just have a go and now have a couple of old school buddies following, the same guys who have me a friend on Facebook!
In case you care - check the columns on the right for my twitter status - and the ability to add me.

No Comments »Reggie McNeal - It’s AD30 All Over Again!
One the men I love and respect as a teacher and mentor, Alan Hirsch, recently had this fantastic video of Reggie McNeal speaking on his blog. It was very powerful and thought provoking I wanted to share it with you. (HT Alan)
Addendum - In case you missed it or are reading this in an RSS reader, Brad Brisco has let me know there is another video of Reggie speaking about the same thing on his blog, as well as a link to the audio of both talks. Thanks Brad - I would also recommend adding Brad’s blog exploring missional church to your reading.
