		<title>Royal We</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have heard reference to the Royal “We”, but I wonder if we understand its amazing significance. I find the truth about the Royal We to be quite heartening.
The general understanding is that Royals, such as Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II use the word “we” with a special significance. At times when she is talking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Land of the Free</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my sons noted to me recently that when an American puts his hand on his heart and says, “I’m American”, he means something different to the rest of us speaking of our nationality.
When any of the rest of us declare, “I’m an Aussie”, “I’m South African”, “I’m Mexican”, or whatever, we are talking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ministry to Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the late 1970’s I was at Bible College and was unimpressed to learn that a whole week would be devoted to kids ministry. As an educated adult, keen to engage the grown-up minds of my audiences, I thought the week would be a low point in the course.
I was so impacted by that week [...]]]></description>

		<title>Character and Values</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spoke recently to High School and Uni Students on the topic of Kingdom Culture. Christians live “in the world” but are not “of the world”. Yet they are impacted by and pressured into the culture of the world. That is why care needs to be taken to understand and to live by the culture [...]]]></description>

		<title>Entering The Kingdom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my travels I have often seen signs that say “You are now entering…” such and such a place. So, imagine a sign that advised you “You are now entering The Kingdom of God!”
When you enter a new country you often notice physical and social differences. These can be quite striking. Back in 2005 I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Curse of Makeup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I took my two youngest children to the city today for a Recce (reconnaissance orientation) and a relaxing time together. For those who know Melbourne I have a list of things to see at the end of this article.
I surprised my nearly 15 year old daughter as we walked through a department store, suggesting that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Be a Blessing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following up on my recent post about “Finding Fault” I sense that I need to further exhort you to “Be a Blessing”.
You would think that being a blessing is a natural thing for people to do. It is a joy to bless others. It is more blessed to give than to receive. When you bless [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sneering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met someone today who I haven’t seen for a few years. We chatted briefly in a carpark and I had to be careful not to mention several topics. There are some issues this chap won’t deal with and if you bring them up he sneers, curls his lip and the whole meeting goes sour.
I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding Fault</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I find fault with those who find fault.
OK, so that’s an oxymoron, but I’m unimpressed with those who think their calling in life is fault finding. I’m sure for some it’s their favourite past-time. Maybe they find meaning and value in such things, but I can’t believe it’s good for their spirit.
The world-wide-web has delivered [...]]]></description>
