Good Friday Clip

One Difference

I saw a friend of mine drinking bottled water (when working outside on a hot day) and noticed the brand - One. The slogan "100% of our profits fund essential water projects in developing countries" inspired me to check out their website, with this clip:



Sometimes it can be difficult to find meaningful ways to follow Jesus and love your neighbour in the course of our average busy day - but i think this is one.

Of course, the ultimate would be to carry your own water bottle and donate the money you save to a great cause. But the next best thing (if you have to buy bottled water) is to support people who use profits to fund great projects like this - rather than the softdrink corporations that own bottled water.

God's Christmas Presence

A cracker of a Christmas gift...

Easter - The Cross

A short clip about the cross - and how the very thing that was meant to destroy Jesus ended up amplifying his message.

Tony Dungy

Here is the video from tonight - Tony Dungy giving an insight into what goes through the mind of an NFL coach. He talks about his time at the Buccaneers and at the Colts - and what it's like to follow Jesus at the same time. He has some great thoughts such as "How you respond to failure, how you respond to disappointment, says a lot more than how you do in successes."


But he also talks about the more spiritual aspect of his life.

My favourite passage in the bible is where Christ says "What would it profit a man to gain the whole world but forfeit his soul?" And with 31 years in the national football league I have seen that a lot.

It's a quote that Dungy lives out in his life. He sums it up with this philosophy.

Every decision I make in life I am going to make it through the lens of Jesus Christ. I'm going to put him out there first - and my own feelings, my own thoughts, my own desires are going to be second. It's that simple. And if we do that Christ promised that he would come into our lives, he'd be our head coach and he'd guide us to that victory, that ultimate victory.

Life With God

It's not about religion. It's about living life in connection with God.

Poem - "Not Cut Out For Religion"

It seems that the poem from sunday night was quite popular. So here is the link to the text and the mp3. There is also a youtube clip.

Lateline - God is Back

Last night we saw the Lateline interview with John Micklethwait (author of "God Is Back"). The text & video are on the Lateline website. Meanwhile, if you're super-keen, ABC radio also has an mp3 interview with him.
