One of the great things about living the Christian life is finding out that God has a plan and purpose for our lives. The Bible even tells us in Ephesians 2:10 that He prepared it before the world was made!

I just read an interesting article (Obesity figures staggering: Roxon) on the ABC news website. It said that Australia is fast becoming the fattest nation on earth and we are close to overtaking the US as the top. For most of us this would be no surprise.

One of my favourite Christian ministers of all time would have to be Billy Graham. I love that he has been in ministry for a long long time and I also love that he has done it with integrity.

The Bible tells us that Satan is a worthy adversary and he roams around like a lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). However, in Job we see that he only has limited power.

I was listening to an old Hillsong CD this morning. It is amazing how some of the old songs brings back memories. I remember when the song “I give you my heart” came out, it really hit the spot for me. It allowed me to express my heart to God and my desire to live [...]
