Passing it on
- David Mears •

In our instruction of our children we need to make sure, even as we convey knowledge, that the deep and intensely personal aspects of our faith are communicated too.
When sacrifice isn't really sacrifice
- Ian Carmichael •
- 20 July 2015
Romans 12:1 is often used as the go-to verse to back-up the challenge to be fully committed as a Christian. To give up my ambitions, and really make sacrifices for the sake of God. But as I was reading Romans 6 it struck me that reading 12:1 this way is probably misreading it and unhelpful.
Why we don’t ask God for things—and why we should
- Jean Williams •
- 17 July 2015
Nothing is too trivial for me to pray about, from the common cold to parking spots. But I often forget to ask for things that really matter, from big things like the growth of God’s kingdom to little things like daily help with my anxieties and ungodliness.
Toddlers and the wrath of God
- Rachel Macdonald •
- 4 March 2019
It’s astonishing how quickly my blood can go from body temperature to boiling when my child disobeys me, and how tempting it can be to give in to the rage.
Calling to ministry
- Tim Grant •
- 3 July 2015
Regularly when I sit down with someone, they’ll use the phrase ‘called to ministry’. I don’t have a dislike of this phrase, it can be very useful—only when most people use it, it isn’t.
The art of biblical interpretation: Inspiration and interaction
- John McClean •
- 6 July 2015
The third in this series on reading the Bible well. This time John looks at how knowing that God's word is his changes how we approach it.
Redefining marriage
- Tony Payne •
- 1 July 2015
Amidst all the sound and fury about same-sex marriage, it’s often hard to find a straight-forward, clear, thoughtful Christian defence of what marriage is. Sandy Grant has had a crack, and a very good one, in this recent public lecture at St Michael’s Wollongong.
The reluctant Swedish reader
- Carl Matthei •
- 23 May 2015
I am a reluctant convert to the Swedish Method for Bible study. I read the Briefing article all of those years ago and decided to try it out in a couple of Bible study groups. It didn’t work! It didn’t seem to make group members think deeply enough about the passage, and it seemed to promote surface-level easy answers.
Choosing a daily Bible reading method
- Matt Schneider •
- 11 March 2019
If we want to hear from God, to know him more and more and to see his works in the world, we can do no better than regularly listening to him in Scripture for our entire lives.
Cell group day 1: City University Campus, Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Terry Blowes •
- 23 May 2015
It was our first cell group meeting. There was Victoria, a committed student leader in her second year of university; Paula, a new person in her first year of study; and me, the missionary who had arrived to accompany and train leaders. The other people who were invited didn’t come.
