Consistency … sticking with something, holding your course despite the pressures, the confusion, the exhaustion, the roller coaster of emotions that so often come your way … is a powerful driver toward success.
During the WWI Battle of Jutland, Admiral David Beatty led the British battlecruiser fleet against the German navy. Problem was, he frequently changed course...
The development of communication technology over this last century, each new invention, has enabled us to be further apart whilst communicating ever more quickly and conveniently. These days, there’s pretty much nowhere on Earth where you can’t use technology to communicate.
Back in the 1950’s, when my father (who’d emigrated to Australia from post- war Europe) prop...
In all that we think, say and do, it’s incredibly worthwhile to ask ourselves from time to time – why did I think, say or do that thing? Why did I have those negative thoughts about my sister? Why did I snap at my wife? Why did I splurge on that useless trinket or toy? Why?
The reason I share that with you today is that all too often we think, say and do things out ...
Is it just me or is public debate (fuelled as it is these days by the unbridled freedom of expression that many enjoy on social media) indeed becoming ever more partisan, more vitriolic, more divisive? What do you think?
The left lines up against the right, the right against the left. The environmentalists against the industrialists; the industrialists against the e...
You don’t like to label people … but let’s be honest, some people are just obnoxious. You’ve met them, I’ve met them … but the question is, do you meet one each morning when you look in the mirror?
Twentieth century, New York real estate mogul and hotelier Leona Helmsley developed quite the reputation for being one of the most obnoxious public figures of her time. T...
“Religion” is a word with which I have a rather uneasy relationship. I get that it’s a commonly used term to label a belief system that’s become … well, organised if I can put it that way. But I still don’t like it. How about you?
Why don’t I like it? Because so many bad things have been done in the name of “religion”. And I’m not pointing the finger here at any oth...
So many things promise so much. You can’t spend even five minutes online without some ad popping up spruiking this or that. Mostly they’re just a lot of hot air, but when you’re out of breath – as we all too often are in this fast-paced world – they can easily suck you in.
So instead, let me share something with you today that’s real, that’ll never fail, that brings...
Sometimes – often-times, in fact – the simplest things in life yield the greatest benefits. And we ignore them at our peril.
Did you know that deep breathing – several slow deep breaths completely filling your lungs, holding, and then slowly letting them out again – has scientifically proven health benefits?
It stimulates...
There’s so much in life that we take for granted, not the least of which is the life-giving ability to breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out – the very breath of life itself.
Every minute of every day each of the 8.23 billion people on Earth breathe in and out around 15 times. That’s 7 litres in, 7 litres out, which makes for a 115 billion litres (30 bil...
It’s pretty amazing how easily our emotions can override good common sense. Everything from pride to fear, from anger to loneliness can cause us to make some really bad decisions; decisions that we’ll end up regretting down the track.
In 1812, Napolean Bonaparte, the self-appointed Emperor of France, launched a massive military campaign against Russia. He put togeth...
Have you ever felt completely unloved … I mean, as though there’s not a single person on this planet who loves you? I have, and without doubt that was the lowest point of my life.
I’m not sure if everyone gets there, but I suspect that at some point we all do. You can feel unloved even when people do love you – and that feeling is the absolute pits.

Do you remember as a child being afraid of the dark? Yeah, so when darkness descends on our lives once more, that fear we once felt comes rushing back. But with all my heart, I know that God wants to give you His confidence amidst dark times.
Irena Sendler was a Polish social worker who saved around two and a half thousand Jewish children during the Holocaust. She s...
When you’re faced with a problem, it’s really easy to overestimate its magnitude. The more grief it causes you, the bigger it becomes. It’s only natural. What’s needed here is a sense of perspective.
So, here goes. If the sun was hollow, you’d be able to fit 1.3 million earths inside. Just let that sink in – 1.3 million! Yet the sun’s classified as only a medium-siz...
It absolutely flicks my switch when the unlikeliest person does something brilliant – something completely out of the box, something that no one expected. How about you?
In 2009 Susan Boyle walked out onto the stage of the TV show, “Britain’s Got Talent”. She was quirky … really quite odd. When she told the judges that she wanted to be a famous singer, the audience ...
Over the years, it's frustrated the living daylights out of me that, as much as I tried to deal with my own ingrained character flaws (and we all have them), I wasn't able to change any one of them on my own. Man, that used to drive me crazy! How about you?
Back in the 16th century, the pirate Grace O’Malley terrorised the Irish seas. She was known for her ruthlessn...
As you and I simply get on with life, it’s kind of easy to drift away from what we’ve believed; what, at the core of our being, we’ve held to be true; what really mattered to us way back when but somehow it’s all been crowded out by the stuff that presses in on us day to day.
Back in the early 17th century, Dutch sailor Pieter van der Linde and a few of his crew wer...
The faster the pace of life gets, and the more crowded our waking hours become with the thousand details that we deal with each day, the more unthinking, the more transactional, the more dehumanised our actions tend to become.
What’s something that you do on autopilot day after day? Perhaps it’s making the kids’ lunches and getting them off to school. Or driving th...
Authenticity and integrity are attributes we tend to value highly. Although, sadly these days, they’re all too often shouted down by a world more interested in personal gain than in decency and truth.
Of course, there’s nothing new in that. Back in the late 18th century, slavery was still deeply entrenched in the British economy. The transatlantic slave t...
According to the World Health Organisation, each year around 1.2 million people globally die in road accidents, with tens of millions more suffering non-fatal injuries.
Back in the early church there was a couple, Ananias and Sapphira, who suffered a fatal accident. Although, it wasn’t really an accident.
Acts 5:1-6
Imagine just for a moment that you’re standing at the edge of a cliff. Below you, the rocks are sharp, the fall is fatal, the wind is howling. But someone’s posted a warning sign: “Danger—Cliff’s Edge.” You’d think twice about getting too close, wouldn’t you?
That’s exactly what this passage is – a warning sign, and it’s not to be taken lightly.
