His Mercies are new EVERY morning

1, Jan 2010

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning… (Lamentations 3:23-24 RSV)
He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! (Psalm 103:5 NLT)

Advent Conspiracy – Love All

24, Dec 2009

When Jesus loved, He loved in ways never imagined. Though rich, he became poor to love the poor, the forgotten, the overlooked and the sick. He played to the margins. By spending less at Christmas we have the opportunity to join Him in giving resources to those who need help the most. When Advent Conspiracy [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Give More…Take Time!!

23, Dec 2009

What is giving really all about? It seems today that so much of life makes demands on us… and especially within Christian circles.

Advent Conspiracy – Spend Less

19, Dec 2009

This year I have managed to buy less presents for people – though I must admit it has been fuelled more by the emptiness in my purse than it has to do with the call by the Advent Conspiracy lot. It’s not a bad idea though I love buying presents. Gift buying is often my [...]

Advent Conspiracy – Worship Fully

What does it mean to WORSHIP FULLY? To live a LIFESTYLE of worship? How do we worship?

Advent Conspiracy – Christmas is coming!

14, Dec 2009

What should Christmas really be about? I don’t think I am the only one asking this question. Just have a chat with a few different people and you can often hear the frustration of this season – the presents, family gatherings, expectations, credit crunch…and the list goes on.
So how did we get to this point? [...]

Advice from J.I. Packer

3, Dec 2009

>

JI Packer – theologian, teacher, writer, Patriarch – a man I admire. I’ve never met him but would love to “sit under his feet”… He’s written over 60 books on various subjects related to Christianity. He was the only academic and theologian named in Time’s 2005 list of the most influential evangelicals in America. He’s [...]
