Looking forward

At Inglewood Community Church we have established a working team of people looking at possibilities as we desire to build/aquire/modify facilities to have a Performing Arts Centre.
The Land our church owns is almost ready to sell, something I am quite involved in, and the next step for our Church needs to be discovered.

What I am praying for now is that God would honour His name. It is not about our kingdom, it is about His.
Our strong desire is that His name would be lifted high, that many people would come to know joy and life through discovering Jesus. Part of this process is the light of Jesus being shone. We are not meant to hide His light under a bushel. We want to serve our community through the arts, and development of young talent.

I would love you to pray with me, to pray with us, as the team look at our options. Pray God will show us what to do next. Its for Him.

Beware the wounded Docker…

Had another of my articles at The Roar published….
“Perhaps the calvary is still recovering but fans are hoping it may arrive just in time for Fremantle to make a serious dent on this year’s finals. After an injury plagued pre-season, it was expected that the side from the port would have a solid second half to the 2011 season leading into the finals………”

Steve Harris is ripping the soul out of Fremantle, one piece at a time

Rick Hart loved the Fremantle Dockers. I met him once or twice. Even after a defeat to the Swans in Sydney he had time for a chat with a disappointed fan.

Steve Harris is something altogether different. He did not come from a sporting background at all. In fact before supporting Fremantle he barracked for the West Coast Eagles.

He has taken away the logo which the club has had since its inception, when I started supporting the Dockers.
He has taken away the four colours, our Port Heritage and uniqueness.
He is going to take away the song.
And now….he is going to move the club from its spiritual base in Fremantle.

He was not there in the hard years when 20, 000 or less fans turned up for one home win in the season.
He was not there in the pouring rain at the WACA where about 10, 000 of us witnessed Fremantle beating Port Adelaide. In fact he has not been there for any of the significant events that have shaped our history. He was certainly not there when about 10,000 fans marched from Fremantle to Subiaco oval to watch us be defeated, yet make the point that the heart of the Dockers is to be found in Fremantle.

And in fact….I wish he was not there now.

What is God like, an Italian or an Englishman

I have written on this before, but it probably bears repeating, if only for my sake.
Do you reckon God is like a stoic stiff upper lip Englishman…or a passionate emotional Italian? (to gross generalise nationalities)

My tip is on the emotion filled, expressive, creative Italian. I say that based on the Psalms, on the emotion God shows to His people in the Old Testamanet. On how Jesus was…on the beauty and expression and wonder found in creation.

If there is truth in what I suggest, what does that mean for us as Christians?
