Comment on The new way (sermon by Rod Benson) by Bill Ho

The ‘New Day’ and the ‘New Way’ sermons were very good reminders of what God expects of us in the transformation of our conduct and behaviour in our new life in Christ. What challenging and instructive words from Romans 12:1-3. I particularly like the 6 points on how to embrace the virtue of humility as they are good memory joggers. Thanks for ministering to us at Eastwood Baptist Church for the last two Sundays while our pastor Steve Cooper is away on a well earned rest.

Yes, the Earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it. However, it is a cause for great concern if the Church should be so hasty as to adopt all the Green agenda that is so prominent in the media at present. I am part way through re- reading George Orwell’s classic “1984″ and the ‘doublethink, Ministry of Truth’ and related twisting of terminology cause me great concern in today’s very one-sided ‘debate’ on so-called ‘Anthropogenic Global Warming’ a phrase that has morphed into more dishonest areas of speech, such as Climate Change, which has a warm and cuddly feeling attached but is in fact the opposite of what it means to the pushers of this gravy train. My extensive reading on the subject points to a serious dishonesty by pseudo-scientists and politicians arguing for a non-case on AGW and for a so-called ‘Carbon Tax’ (really a tax on CO2 – an essential element in all growing plants!). Both the Australian ABC and the BBC are very uncritical of the massive evidence that the causes are not man-made in any measurable detail. I fear that the Church, in just following the trendy in-crowd are actually diluting the Bible truth about Planet Earth. Does that mean we walk away from being genuine conservators of God’s creation? Absolutely not, therefore, we must be especially careful not to get sucked into emotive positions that are not supported by scientific facts rather than Gaian theology and cultic worship of Nature.

Good Morning Rod. I’ve just heard your talk on the push for for homosexual marriage. The only thing I disagree with you on is your use of the word, in your last sentence, “reform.” The ALP push on this matter is NOT reform, it is regression.
Thanks for your work and words. Much appreciated.

Comment on The pressures teens face by Kevin Martyn

Some things remain constant, and family relationships will always be high on the priority list. Often young people will turn their backs on their family for many years while they explore their own individuality, but usually the day comes when they want to reunite and are ready to be closer with them again.

Kind regards
