This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome!

I'm Back! 

Boy, you guys have kept things rolling along nicely while I've had the feet up! Well done and thanks, Carol & Gary. Glad to hear that you "tried to be cheery to all" Gary, was this a Christmas-day special (book my cab, get the Christmas message and free cheer thrown in)? Anyway, now you've had the practice, you can try being cheerful to me at 06.30 Saturday mornings (but I won't guarantee to respond in kind!); 06.30 Saturday morning is not cheerful territory in my book. And BTW, good that you brushed up your singing voice too at the carols service, we can use that Saturday mornings also.

Now, here's an ad for Gary's church; his minister Paul Barker (a particularly gifted bible teacher) is starting a summer study series on Mark's gospel (Wednesday evenings, starting this Wednesday 7th at Holy Trinity, cnr Doncaster & Church Rd, Vic). As Gary says, will definitely be good!

Appreciated your post-Christmas post too Gary, definitely a need for genuine cheerfulness (as probably only Christian hope can give) on the day after as many reflect on the futility of what passes as fun in modern life.

Carol, did you get much of a break from computers???!? Would we be better off without them? (I've got Luddite tendencies!) But I'm not ready to kick the habit, just yet. Thanks too for your efforts to get some responses to our blog; I promise to do more recruiting in the next few months, we need more like you & Gary who find this a worthwhile distraction (whether anyone else reads us, I feel we benefit from sorting out a few ideas in our minds and having to write them down reasonably clearly). And it's good to have a friend like Gary, to tell me when I'm being plain silly (be warned - I'll get even!)

So Carol, do we debate or discuss? Where it says "iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend" (Prov28:17) - is this by debating or discussing? And how's the twilight bike-rides going? Sounds romantic, as well as miraculous! (not sure about the daggy basket tho' :-) Thanks for your encouraging good wishes for the Christmas period, it was safe and happy for me, just as you hoped for all.

And next I'll try to write a little of something that's inspired me (not just the sparkling burgundy!).
