    House and land prices.............up, up, up !!

    We're currently paying about %60 of our income on our mortgage and yes we are very very nervous. I think Sydney's greed from a decade ago is now coming back to bite us in the hiney. :(

    Debatable topics

    I always somehow get sucked into debates. My only advice is don't bother debating pig-headed stubborn people who have no interest in the truth. You'll learn who they are over time...

    Who is the Antichrist?

    Bugger me not another "The Pope is the Anti-Christ" post... Read a book man... The Pope has no real authority, any more than Peter & Paul had. His job is to pastor the flock not take God's throne. If I read one more thread like this I'm gonna puke...

    Urgent prayer request

    Something happened today. It's still early to tell but I think God has answered our prayers and provided in one of the key areas of our difficulties. If all goes well and if it is His will, the rest is up to us to work it out. My wife was a bit releived, I think she has a glimmer of hope...

    Urgent prayer request

    Not good. I met up with her this afternoon. She is constantly having panic attacks, not eating (at all), not sleeping (and neither am I), and things are always going worse and worse. She simply can not face the public. Yesterday she had a medical emergency to attend to, one of her patents...

    The God Delusion

    I read it. Badly written. Dawkins deliberately picks which "arguments" he wants to discuss and deliberately stays away from other arguments. Its a waste of time. He acts like a schoolyard bully and his biased writings are anything but objective studies.

    Terrorist links

    Don't forget most of the stuff we hear is Johnny's election fear mongering. Next he will bring back the "lets look out for Australia" tv ads... Oh wait he did that a couple of months ago... Then he will accuse Labor for not being competent in dealing with terrorism. Then of course we will all...

    Speaking in Tounges

    There's a scene in the Borat movie where the guy was speaking in tongues at the Pentecostal Convention. Then they slaid Borat in the spirit and you could see the pastor telling Borat to "come on now, speak in tongues, come on" So Borat did! "Tralalalamalala mutti shamallalaalla mutti" etc etc...

    Isn't the bible just a little offensive to women?

    Western culture is more offensive to women than the Bible ever could be. I'm not saying the Bible is, as I don't think it is. But look around you, turn on the tv, flip through magazines, surf the web for a while. Then go speak to some rape victims, some anorexic girls misled by magazines and...

    why bother?

    Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is not what you see on YouTube. Those kids are just being stupid.

    Losing Salvation

    In a nutshell: We are saved by grace. But we do have free will. Ergo, freely given salvation can be rejected. We nurture our salvation with works (prayer, fellowship etc).

    My wife doesnt trust me anymore

    We've been married two and a half years and for those who know me, our marriage has been anything but dull. There has been a couple of times when my wife caught me with "things" in my possession which I shouldn't have had. Mens stuff... I hate it but it is an addiction and I struggle and...
