What do you think?

I came across this quote somewhere by Ed Stetzer, do you think it is true:

Passive listeners at church will make for passive Christians in the
world

If it is true, what do you think helps people to get 'active' in church?

I'm outraged - again

OK, so while I'm here I may as well get something off my chest.
Just how little regard does Phillip Nitschke have for human life. You can read the report from SMH here and here
I have spoken before at various places (Weekends away at Norwest Anglican & Cumberland Unichurch; Parramatta City Bible Talks and Norwest Bible Business) about his stance on Euthanasia, none that have been recorded though. I may post snippets of my talk if people want to see it.
But to see his diseased view on life now invading people in their 20's disgusts me (as does his view of life for people in their 80's or 90's). In the second article he describes these young people as 'casualties' in a quest for the greater good.

There will be some casualties - but this has to be balanced with the growing
pool of older people who feel immense wellbeing from having access to this
information

WHAT! Why are we tolerating such rubbish?
God values all life. The great news of the resurrection changes how we think about human life and suffering. Nitshke needs to know about Jesus urgently!

1 Thessalonians

We have begun a new series on 1 Thessalonians called, 'The life that pleases God'. It is such an awesome book.

There is a free blurb (which has some info about who Paul is, where Thessalonica is, what the book is about, the main themes and books I found helpful) with bible studies available here.

Sermons can be found here

PS: apologies for the lack of updates - life has been busy working up material for 1 Thessalonians and currently playing 'senior minister' for an indisclosed time. So updates will be sporadic at best!
