- 28 November 2018

- 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.

- 3 December 2018
Some Christians may think, since there is only one God, that he was angry and vengeful in the Old Testament but loving and compassionate in the New.
Motivated, reproducing, applied Bible reading: The Swedish Method
- Peter (Pedro) Blowes •
- 23 May 2015
Bible reading with ready ears and an open heart is engaging and fruitful. There’s something fresh about letting God speak for himself, especially when you search the Bible yourself, making the effort to hear.
