Comment on The law you use to accuse by Matt Stanford

Matt Stanford — Tue, 10 May 2011 13:04:15 +0000

I find myself pre-apologising for my failings when people learn I’m a Christian, so fearful of hypocrisy, but I think often that’s an excuse for me to continue on in my only-slightly-different-ways, rather than strive to improve that standard.
I think in my heart I genuinely expect/trust God to continue being the impression I have of Him, which is cool.

Good question.

Did their failure to recognise Jesus place them in error of the law? Seems to me he’s talking about their failure to recognise (both senses) Him given all the pre-reading they are claiming to have done. So is it simply You Hypocrites, or perhaps Seedless Watermelon/Capricciosa but hold the Anchovies?

BTW – I’m sure you’re not suggesting otherwise, but by all means give church-based-molesters etc both barrels; as a people we need to work harder. The name “Christian” and “Church” mean something well different than they should in the minds of the public. And that’s our collective fault for not seeking personal holiness, and taking personal responsibility for personal standards and ethics. Which I’m certainly guilty of.

Which brings us back to the law: I’m genuinely happy to drive 5 over all day, as long as I don’t get nabbed by a camera or cause an accident. Common sense stops me doing 30 over, the law stops me doing 15 over. Only obedience gets me truly under the limit.

Personal revelation, conviction and change.

Comment on Album Review: “Sigh No More” from Mumford & Sons by Christina

Christina — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 21:45:55 +0000

This is a totally amazing album. Every time I hear it I feel inspired to blog about the lyrics, to pray. It is a deeply spiritual album, more impacting (for me anyway) than many worship songs….

Being in the light is being in Christ.

Comment on Fantasy Election by Bob

Turnbull always had vision. The problem is, it didn’t align with the powerbrokers in his party. You could see the battles being fought within the Liberals over every policy. It killed him and got him replaced with someone the right-wingers had more in common with. I think I might have voted Liberal if it was a Turnbull-Hockey ticket. Such different leadership than what we are seeing now.

Tanner all the way for Labor. Although I am happy Green Adam Bandt might take his seat.

Leave Bob Brown in for the Greens, if not for his public face then simply for his ability to lead the party. The party won’t be so completely united in it’s vision once he retires. Christine Milne on the interchange for sure.

The other option would be Lee Rhiannen I guess, but that promotion would change the Greens vision dramatically towards hard-left social rather than environmental goals. It may reduce the perceived credibility of the Greens, or even fracture the party.

Get Tim Costello in as an independent.

Comment on Policy is dead, long live the Spin by Mark E

Both catering to the LCD I am afraid.
I think Australians are far more intelligent and informed than these parties give us credit for.

it’s all gold, and given the multi-hit combo 2x multiplier by the very last comment.

Please, won’t one of the could-actually-govern parties give us a credible box to write 1 in on this? Please?

Comment on The “iPad Revolution” by Tim Ogilvy

Wow,

I see what you mean. It reminds me of the adds for the NS5′s in I-robot. There’s a sense that perhaps the technology is starting to get a little smarter than we are.

The more of these things apple moves, the more I feel like the world has been infiltrated by a small handful of giant corporations. What happens when the passageway to truth goes through a single door, and that door has a turnstile that goes chink everytime another coin drops in it?

I feel like a cattle.

Encouraged that you’re still talking about teaching like It Fits. Hanging to kick the footy with my boys when they’re year 10.
