An immigrant in Christ longing for the heavenly country; Senior Pastor, Doonside Anglican Church, Sydney

For much of my life, I’ve known what it feels like to be a stranger in another country. I’ve been reflecting on how God has used those experiences to teach me something about what it means to follow Jesus—and I’ve realised that immigrant life has something to teach all of us.

I’ve started a new Substack series, "In, but not of the world", beginning with Abraham and Sarah. I’d love you to join me as we explore what it means to live in this world, but ultimately belong to Christ.

TGC recently shared its policy for writers and the use of AI. Christianity Today did the same. In this article, I reflect on a new institutional/individual divide and consider how, just like blogs democratized influence, AI might democratize competence. https://t.co/qolBZXTdpU

When we say "coming back to reality", are we suggesting that holiday is not real? What does it say about our understanding of “real life"?

2021 Inductee @taylorhawkins was the perfect drummer for the @foofighters, the 21st century’s monsters of rock. Taylor's unmatched musical skills and boundless energy made every song monumental,

@RebeccMcLaugh we are planning to start a discussion group for our youth group, using your book “10 questions teens should ask”. I wonder if you have a discussion guide? Thank you for your service to the cause of the gospel

[Archbishop of Sydney @archbishopsyd]

I’m humbled and somewhat daunted by the responsibility given me by Synod. We believe the Lord works through his people both in making this decision and in enabling the Archbishop to fulfil his role. Like every Christian, I gladly trust in Jesus. https://t.co/K0KMVuYbmV

Carman died tonight in Las Vegas at age 65.

His career in Christian music spanned more than 35 years, and he had planned to go on tour again later this month.

"Grief is what happens when love’s bonds are severed. And understanding grief like this has only made me appreciate God’s love for us in Christ all the more." Scott Millar shares personal reflections on his experience of grief and why it's so tied to love.

I’m not so sure your system of governance is actually “the envy of the world,” Joe.

Sounds like a fake news. Too good to be true? Hopefully it’s true story.

Where is God in All the Bad News?
This video is on Revelation 6-7, as Jesus opened the scroll of God, unleashed the 4 horseriders of suffering, persecution, & God‘s wrath, but still shows there is good news in Christ that far surpasses all the bad news. See link in the bio

Melbourne has endured months of strict lockdown, while refugees have been detained on Nauru (an island about the same size as Melb airport) for 8 years! I’m expecting after what they’ve been through there won’t be a single Melbournian who supports indefinite offshore detention.
