Enrolled Clem at Auskick today.
What a great time he had. He loves being part of things, being social, and looks up to coaches and listens well.

Got to say how proud I am of him, slipping on his Morley Bulldogs Jumper, and kicking and handballing. Good to see he is as good as any of the other kids in his kicking. All those sessions with his dad have paid off. Not so good at the marking side of it, but its hard to get a six year old to not be cautious about catching a leather ball.

Did the sausage sizzle, cooked 200 sausages for hungry kids and parents.
Beautiful day, we are blessed to live in such a good country.

Have you seen this??

God Tube is basically U Tube but packaged obviously as Christian clips. Looks a lot like they are using all the U Tube background stuff, putting their own label on it.
Here is a very useful clip fron Oprah

At the pre season gathering of all the AFL Team Captains, Fremantle received six votes, aside from their own, as the team in the competition most likely to make the Grand Final, with West Coast and Sydney receiving four votes each.

In a shock result, St Kilda received no votes.

Continuing my series on Spirit this week.

Looking at the idea of being filled with the Spirit. Is there any topic that has caused more concern and angst amongst 1980’s churches than this one?
The issues about charismata, sign gifts, have caused untold stress and angst amongst more conservative churches for years.

Now, we find ourselves in the midst of the “Third Wave”, so named by Peter Wagner. In a cultural response, similar to that found in modern culture, most people’s attitudes towards tongue speaking etc seems to be, whatever works for you.

Let us consider this verse from 1 Corinthians 14.1

“Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy”

Paul goes on to state that while the gift of tongues can edify us, what is more important is that we use our spiritual gifts to edify others.
But what strikes me about this verse is the idea that we should eagerly desire spiritual gifts. Other versions state it as, we should pursue, spiritual gifts.
Have you, are you, pursuing spiritual gifts?
