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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

You know how it goes… You roll out the trusty old machine and push it purposefully toward the jungle that was once your yard. You prime it and pump it, pat it and position it. Then you pull the cord, full of hope and expectation.
You prime the thing again, shake it, move it a few [...]

Here is a humorous piece from an unknown author, spoofing off the creation account in the first book of the Bible, Genesis 1. This will be particularly sweet for those who have laboured over the intricacies of English Grammar.
Enjoy.
The book of “Gramesis”
1. In the beginning my English teacher created nouns and verbs.

Have you noticed that most people don’t know anything about the Government processes that are their birthright? Though the subject is given cursory attention at schools most people never come to grips with much more than the facts that they vote for Government officials.

Photos Needed
I’m starting a series of IDIOT TESTS to see if I can help some people get their grey-cells working.
So, I’m looking for some photos of people doing something STUPID!
Isaac Rowntree told me all his photos look like that (thanks Isaac), but I’m looking for a bunch of different shots too, so please send me [...]

Australia has a Christian heritage, a Christian Constitution, a Christian basis for law and a culture based on Christian values. Our Government prays to the Christian God at the start of each day’s proceedings.
We acknowledge the “Crown” of Britain, which is only conferred on those who have sworn their allegiance to the Christian God and [...]
