| July 31, 2005: Gideons Visits Mt Morgan: - Today we have the Gideon's Bible Society visit us in Mt Morgan. Firstly they went to our brothers and sisters at the Anglican Church because they have an early service, then they came and visited us. Gideons do a remarkable work all around the world handing out Bibles everywhere. You can find their Bible in motels, hospitals, airports, bus terminals, waiting rooms.......just about everywhere where you find people. They also hand them out to Grade 8 students, nurses, the military, politicians and many others too. Why don't you check out their website. |
| July 25, 2005: The Greatest Philanthropist in the World: - You may have heard of Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and also the worlds most generous man (officially). Well, people like Bill Gates are known as philanthropists, or people who help other people out. However there is one other who is a even greater philanthropist than Bill, but not often referred to...........read about it here. |
July 23, 2005: Trip to Aramac: - Yesterday I went to Aramac with Sue and Mike and we visited some of the believers there..........they were wonderful people in every sense of the word. Aramac is a rural town of several hundred people just north of Barcaldine. Recently the Uniting Church in Aramac closed its doors  because it was not financial enough to continue. I was quite saddened when I heard this news and it has been in my thoughts ever  since. It seems that like every other "profession" (like doctors, builders, labourers) everyone wants to be in the big smoke, but no-one cares for these out of the way places. Jesus himself was born in a town called Nazareth which in his day was an out of the way place. We went just to have a look, and would dearly love to do something there, but must pray and think this matter through. |
| July 18, 2005: Are House Churches OK? - Sometimes people wonder about those others who meet in homes.......is that real Christianity or just escapeism. Well, here is an article I wrote which shows that meeting in homes is certainly a valid form of our faith, however the motives behind it can determine if it is blessed or not. If someone does it for a good reason, they will certainly be blessed. However if someone does do it out of an escapeist motivation....that is, they just want to get away from God's people, then they will probably struggle. Check out http://www.housechurches.org.au |
| July 17, 2005: Sowing a Seed for the Future: - You may remember reading a few blogs ago about how we picked up a shed for just $65 and were going to use it as part of our church ministry in Mt Morgan. Anyway during the week the people in our church unanimously agreed to give our shed away to someone more needy than we are. We have a valued friend and brother who is living on his land in a tent and we have decided to bless him with our shed. He graciously accepted our offer. Although we don't have a shed now, the fact that we have given it away is like planting a seed that will turn into a plant and give us fruit later on. When time comes that we are in need ourselves, we will reap provision for our need. The Bible talks about this in a couple of places, but in Galatians 5 it says "whatever you sow, you shall also reap." We believe that the Bible is true and that because have helped someone else in his time of need, that God will most certainly bless us back in our time of need. It was a very exciting thing for us to do. We also hope to help him put it up. |
| July 11, 2005: New Article: - I just uploaded a new article called "Competing Against Other Believers" which talks about how we sometimes get caught in the trap of trying to be better that other christians rather than serving them. |
| July 9, 2005: Use the Little Faith You Have: - Today's email is on the subject just mentioned. You might not have much faith, but as you use it, like your muscles, it will surely grow. |
| July 8, 2005: Backlash against Faith: - If you never step out in faith, nothing will ever happen. Since we started a few days ago to really test God and step out in faith, things have got worse. This is actually a sign that our prayers are working because it means the devil is resisting our prayer and if we persevere and breakthrough we will have the answer we are believing for. One of our brothers was rushed to hospital in an ambulance and another brother has come down with a mystery illness that the doctors have not been able to diagnose. He also had his pet dogs poisoned maliciously. A number of other things have all gone wrong simultaneously. If you punch the devil in the nose, he is bound to try to punch you back one and that is what is happening now. However with God on our side we will win the boxing match. We will not lose heart or give up and I ask you to join us in prayer. Please pray for those who are sick but our main priority is for the church here to grow and overcome the attacks of the enemy. |
| July 5, 2005: Time to Believe God: - During the prayer meeting at our church today we looked at our prayer goals for the year, and to be very honest, they don't look very realistic and without God's help they certainly would be very unlikely. We are praying that we will outgrow our small building and have too many people to fit in. So today we decided to believe God and not look at the human circumstances but to stretch our faith and see mighty things come to pass. In the Bible Jesus said that "I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will do more amazing things than this.".....so its obvious isn't it....we don't need very much faith at all and God WILL do amazing things and WILL answer our prayers. |
July 4, 2005: A Shed for $65: - We spent the day pulling down a shed today. 8 people helped and we had it down and  packed onto a big trailer by about 3pm. This shed was actually a great bargain which we (my church) got for just $65. We hope to use it at the church in the future for storage and maybe even a small Sunday School. God has definitely been looking after us helping us to get such a cheap shed. |
