This is a powerful piece of scripture.
Jesus argues with the religious folks and finishes up telling them that their good intentions and beliefs mean nothing if they don’t result in actions. In fact the ‘bad people’ who live repentant lives will enter the kingdom ahead of them…

Yesterday I spoke to our church community about why our primary experience of church needs to be smaller rather than larger.
By ‘smaller’ I mean a group where:
a) every person is known by name.
b) where it is not difficult to share a meal together.

I have noticed this song being played a lot lately while I have been working and found it intriguing enough to google.
Its almost an anthem to consumer living yet the chorus goes:
I don’t know what’s right and what’s real anymore

I used Tim Winton’s book ‘The Turning’ and the title chapter to illustrate the point. Sherry is a beautiful woman who lives a life that [...]
I haven’t commented on the bushfire tragedy here in Oz this week.
Its hard to know what to write without sounding either trite or glib. It has been a shocking and devastating week for many people.
What it has shown very clearly however are the two sides of human nature.

“I think the besetting sin of pastors, maybe especially evangelical pastors, is impatience. We have a goal. We have a mission. We’re going to save the world.
