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!

Janice,

I am a discussion leader and started a long time ago but after 6.5 years needed a break. I've been back 7.5 years now after a 3 year break. I've actually experienced 4 teaching leaders.

I feel that the present TL is having a happy time getting into the people, baptist style; its easy for him for the prophets got into Israel and Judah, but where is the peace with God, and peace with oneself. He needs a dose of catholicism if not mysticism. All of BSF does. Its the bible study of the rich righteous right.

And the pressure is on us to sign up for the Retreat, in Melbourne at the same place as last time. And as I said, I've been there once and don't want the same thing again, (the format does not vary, and I think the last one was a hymn singing festival with 'ordinary' teaching).

I'm just feeling under pressure. My church had a theatre night tonight to see the Passion ... and to have supper afterwards, ugh! The gospel writers spared us the horror of how Jesus was tortured to death, but the guilt feelings of Mel Gibson want us to see it all in sickening detail. Go and see a better horror movie, Frankenstein, or The Blob.

i have 'a thing' about religious films and paintings, usually sickly sweet but the second commandment says something about no images of things in heaven. Three gospel writers saw the true Jesus and (thankfully) didn't give us a description, but artists and film makers have for centuries.

And Satan is a female -- f ...... rubbish.
