I saw the goodness of God.
25/05/18 by tonyraeLate Friday afternoon, I saw the goodness of God. It had been a fairly taxing week and on getting home from work I decided to take a stroll out the back gate to check out the goats down the road.
patience @ work
05/04/17 by Kelly MylesIt is a very old saying that patience is a virtue. Fortunately for me it is also a fruit of the Spirit, because there is no way I would ever have developed it on my own.
peace @ work
13/03/17 by Kelly MylesIt's a competitive world in the workplace no less than anywhere else. So how does peace fit in for a Christian at work?
love @ work?
22/02/17 by Kelly MylesA Christian is a Christian 24/7, inside and out, on and off the clock. So the fruit of the Spirit - all of it, including Love - should be evident and relevant and genuine in every context. That includes work!
joy @ work?
22/02/17 by Kelly MylesWhen I first heard about "joy" as a new Christian, I thought it was about that bubbly, giddy, giggly feeling you have when things are going well, you're kicking goals or you just found a bargain you really wanted. In the long, hard slog of life this is an unsustainable feeling hinged on an unrealistic expectation.
Why are there two different Christmases and Hanukkah as well?
11/01/17 by Kelly MylesThis is a question that I've encountered a few times. It's one of those questions that can take you by surprise in the early weeks of January as people begin to return to work.

For the children in Cambodia
05/10/15 by tonyraeThe children in J-Team (our kids church) were asked to raise some money so that some children in Cambodia could go to a Water Park for a treat.

One little girl, Evie (6), chose to do things a little differently.

Testimony from Narrabri Awakening Ministry
18/06/14 by tonyraeMark Saines and his team are currently visiting Narrabri for a 'mission Week. On Wednesday Mark held a training night at New Life. He shared about some of his evangelism experiences - which include power encounters with God and healing. Listening to him talk - and teach 5 step evangelism and encounter prayer models, I found it correlated with our experiences in India. It made sense.

The Philistines
14/02/13 by kelly.mylesEvery Sunday School child is familiar with David and Goliath, the giant Philistine warrior who David slew with a stone from a sling. Many more are familiar with Samson who killed a 1000 Philistines with the jaw bone of an ass. Still others remember the story of Saul’s son Jonathan who bravely took on over twenty Philistines with his armor bearer and killed them all. And there is the famous Battle of Mt. Gilboa where Saul and his sons, including the heroic Jonathan were themselves killed by the Philistines.

A testimony of God's love
01/02/12 byduring the prayer time, the feeling of God's coming close, not just good worship, but God's actual presence, began to fall. I kept watching this one young guy, Ryo. He was not saved yet. He just kept standing and wouldn't sit down even after most people sat down. He said that during the prayer time, God came right before him...
