Getting along with the saints below: how to disagree as Christians

Getting along with the saints below: how to disagree as Christians

This world does not know how to disagree well. I observe it on social media, print media, television, and between family members and friends..

  • Devotional time can be harmful

    As good Christians, we are often taught that we should have our daily devotional time, preferably in the morning before we get on with anything for the day. How do most of us conduct our devotions?

  • The absurdity of the Gospel

    Do you want to live your best life now? If you search within your heart and hear what the Spirit is calling you to give at a minimum donation of twice your weekly rent, then God (who we by perfect human reason and logic can prove exists) will abound in your bank account and toilet paper rolls.

  • We are not scared

    New Zealand’s nationwide bear hunt during the COVID-19 lockdown made headlines worldwide. In the front windows of our homes resided a soft toy bear, or two, or even three. Our bears may have been old childhood toys, homemade creations, family heirlooms or op-shop finds. All and any bears were welcome. 

  • The Journey of Mordecai Part 1

    Hello everyone, my name is Mordecai.

  • Am I allowed to miss church?

    We’re living in quite an unusual reality right now, aren’t we?

  • Take the gift: in life slowed down

    How did your sky look yesterday? Cloudy? Did it spit? Was there wind that tangled your laundry or a breeze that curled your hair? How about the colours? Was it as blue as blue can be, or as grey as a pebble? Grey as a Russian Blue?

  • The necessity of seasons

    During this lockdown period, I’ve been watching the Netflix documentary series, Our Planet, narrated by David Attenborough. An incredible series that has moved me towards praise for the amazing planet we get to enjoy.

  • Why Everything Changing Is Actually Normal

    The word of the year for 2020 (excluding names of things) will surely be ‘unprecedented’ and in one way this would be a very accurate representation of 2020. Things are very different from normal.  

  • We have to teach our own kids?

    Coranavirus. Covid 19. We’ve all heard about it.

  • That obsession with superheroes

    We live in an era where people are obsessed with caped crusaders. Between Marvel™ and DC Comics™, we have a plethora of superheroes to choose from.

  • On ghosts and hope and cups of tea

    “I died that day.”
