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.
The benefits of having a Timothy
- Braden Marsden •
- 3 October 2018
Your Timothy is your second-in-command, your adviser and your protégé—just as Timothy was to Paul. How then has this worked in my ministry? How can you actually get started with your Timothy?
Getting ready to forgive
- David Mears •
- 26 June 2015
"Do we have to forgive people who aren't sorry?" How would you respond? Our instinct can be to rush in with some kind of ‘yes/no’ answer. What we may fail to do is consider whether or not answering the question as asked is the most helpful response.
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!

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.
The tyranny of the moment: Controlling reactions in times of stress
- Ruth Baker •
- 20 March 2017
Proverbs 25:28 says: “A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls”. Without self-control we are without defences and are easily overwhelmed by the stresses of the moment, because there is nothing to stop the army of negative thoughts.
The art of biblical interpretation: Inspiration and our attitude
- John McClean •

The traditional Christian view of the Bible is that it is God’s word. Some churches recognize this by finishing each Bible reading with “This is the word of the Lord”. What does it mean for how we read the Bible?
Making Friends
- Murray Campbell •
- 19 June 2015
Yes, I’ve watched The Lego Movie... Its famous song touches on something that we know intuitively to be true: working together, being part of a team, having someone to rely on and trust, is a good thing.
Down-under round-up: 17 June 2015
- Sandy Grant •
- 17 June 2015
This isn’t what everyone is talking about, and I’m a little late to the read myself, but this is an essential article for discussion amongst ministry or eldership teams. Pastors, find someone to talk it over with, please: The pattern among fallen pastors by Garrett Kell.
