Passage: Genesis 11:1-9 A short reading today about the tower of Babel, and man’s quest to become famous. This is the first sky-scraper, the first Burj Khalifa, and it’s using advanced technology and engineering, with the people employing bricks and tar over stone and mortar. It’s a funny little passage, because God sees them working [...]

Passage: Genesis 8:1 – 9:17 Reading #4 takes us through the promises God makes to Noah (and all of man) after the flood. It is both an interesting and great thing that Noah does when he comes off the ark – he builds an altar and offers sacrifices to the LORD, sacrifices being what people [...]

Passage: Genesis 6:5 – 7:24 Today’s passage is the flood, something that is believed to be common in most historical religious writings, though I don’t think the majority of them explain the source and reason for it such as the bible. There were a few of things that particularly struck me as I read through [...]

Passage: Genesis 3:1-24 Today’s passage is what’s commonly referred to as The Fall, which sees man and woman’s relationship with God change from being perfect to something less than. The created order of God -> Man -> Woman -> Beast is reversed and ultimately God is left out, which is what the world today and, [...]

Passage: Genesis 1:1 – 2:25 Starting the E100 challenge today landed me in the beginning of the bible, where we see God create the world, and everything in it, finishing with man and woman, before He rested on the seventh day. It is quite truly amazing to think about how this world came to be, [...]

I was hoping for a less stressful week this week, however it has turned out to be quite a busy one after all. First thing Monday morning I met up with Gary for some work catch-up and to read some bible. We started looking at 1 John 1 with the first 4 verses. They speak [...]

This week has been an absolutely gruelling week at work with January Ministry Conference. Monday morning first thing I was up to take my car down to the smash repairers to have my side mirrors replaced. It was then a train and bus trip, with a wander in the rain, via Pablo & Rusty’s for [...]

This week, my first one back at work for the year, has been a pretty tiring one… Despite the majority of the ministers being away at CMS Summer School or on holidays, there was still a heap to be done in the office: catch up and wrap up from the end of last year, update [...]

Well this last week of holidays has yet again been a quiet one, though a little more eventful than the previous… The last SunSum was written during my night out at OneNightOnly featuring the legendary Sasha. It was an enjoyable night, a great journey through many different dance music sub-genres with an up-for-it crowd. At [...]

Well my first week of holidays has been fairly quiet…. My intentions for the week were to clean up The Flat, but they didn’t eventuate until after Lairdy left for beach mission at Windang on Wednesday. So far I have vacuumed and mopped most of the tiled areas of the flat, bar the common bathroom [...]
