Monday, April 07, 2008. Sabbatical with Balaam #2. It’s good to set aside time to think. I’m enjoying it and have been find it enormously refreshing. Whatever love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength means, it has something to do with dwelling on, thinking about, listening to, trying as best you can to understand and make sense of who God is and what he has done. What he has done"? As best as I can"? So what was it like living at the end of the Bronze Age?

Monday, May 26, 2008. Reaching Our Youth Through Hip Hop. Youthworks College has intensive teaching blocks at the beginning of each year prior to the beginning of Semester 1. During these intensives I was teaching Youth Ministry 1 a subject outlining the principles and practices of ministering to young people in churches. Each year we get extra students as well as our full-time students who just pick up the intensive. They’d tried banning him from listening to one particular Hip Hop artist. If I could be...

Wednesday, March 14, 2007. More needed than just teaching hobbies. An article in this morning’s The Australian caught my attention (‘ Debnam falls of old hobby horse’. Reporting on the election promise from the NSW opposition leader that, if elected, he will set up a program that will see the elderly teach new hobbies to troubled teenagers. All we need is a database of old people’s homes and local schools that can match people according to their interests! Adding a quote from a nursing home resident sayi...

Monday, November 27, 2006. Application Interviews for 2007 begin. We're starting the interviews for new students in both the Diploma and Year 13 courses tomorrow. All you graduates and students reading. Think back to the terror you felt when you turned up to College, all nicely dressed, desperate to impress the intimidating faculty . spare a thought for the new applicants and pray that they'd be relaxed for the interviews. For anyone still thinking about applying. You might want to get a move on! I often...

Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Youthworks lead Moore early in first half. Alas by the end of the game the scoreline was not so flattering. But the boys of. Fought valiantly on the Rugby League field against. Last Wednesday night. If there were bonus tries for having faculty members on the field we would have won by a long shot! So far we’ve come second to SMBC at soccer, second to. At League, maybe we can beat. Posted by Graham Stanton at 4:15 pm. Links to this post. Thursday, October 19, 2006. In 2007 Jim w...

Thursday, January 11, 2007. Some thoughts from Cambridge. So what was the iasym conference like? It was really cold (even though the locals kept delighting in how mild it was! It was great fun - living with 100 other people really interested in thinking seriously about youth ministry was a hoot. I got to meet a lot of very interesting people (took Kenda Creasy-Dean to the pub, had lunch with Pete Ward, breakfast with Malan Nel). The need for a gospel governed practical theology. There is a definite need ...

Friday, May 04, 2007. We feel the cold of the snow and the heat of the flame. And yes, we are made by God so that sexual love would only be deeply satisfying in combination with commitment and companionship and the attempt to make sex satisfy all our longings for love is as pitiful a comparison as a lighter flame with a mighty bonfire. Not to mention all of Jesus’ relationships (was he a man who never really knew how good love was? So I offer this critique with all the gentleness I can muster! The image ...

Friday, February 15, 2008. What is it good for? Thanks to Frankie Goes to Hollywood for the title (and thanks also to Bruce Springsteen for his truly excellent cover version! Is there any place for war imagery in our teaching the Christian life to children and young people? Is anyone else out there old enough to remember singing:. I’m too young to march in the infantry, ride in the cavalry, shoot the artillery; I’m too young to fly over land and sea, but I’m in the Lord’s army, Yes Sir! D H Lawrence famo...
