From a pastor-friend: “For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.” Mt 25:29. What Jesus observes (and gives an alternative to) in the parable of the talents, and it’s an issue we definitely […]
Faith and doubt

Malaysians to vote against creeping Islamisation

Recently I heard from a political insider that there is strong support from such people for Kevin Rudd personally as opposed to the ALP. Christian lobbyists are expecting Rudd […]
Good News for the Poor
On a mission trip in Honduras a few years ago, we were all sitting with some of the villagers around a fire in the evening. One of the members of our team said, “Let’s all go around and share our favorite Bible verse.” This sort of thing can be tough for us scripturally challenged Methodists! […]
