  • A Just War?  By : David B Smith
    A Just War?
    by Rev. Hartshorn Murphy
    At the time of this writing, our national politicians are engaged in a vigorous conversation about how to topple the government of another nation. The discussion has been largely one of military strategy and political timing and there is a sense of war's inevitability. Voices have been raised internationally - and a few nationally - that question the legality of such an action. Few indeed have questioned the morality of such a decision in this post 9-ll world in which "homeland security" seems to justify things once considered illegitimate. It would seem that we are taking a page from Israel's textbook on dealing with terrorism by "preemptive assassination" (premeditated murder by another name); the Bush administration plans to remove Saddam Hussein by preemptive war. The Christian Church has a gospel obligation to speak in a prophetic voice of dissent when it is intimated that this contemplated foreign aggression is, by conservative TV pundits, claimed to be a "just war."

  • Addict in the Family!  By : David B Smith
    Addict in the Family!
    an edited extract from 'Understanding Addiction'

    Because the person suffering from the addiction acts untrustworthy, the family stops trusting the person, and the members consciously or unconsciously start to distance themselves... When the person starts to act like his or her self again, not like an Addict, the family feels ashamed for having distanced themselves. They decide to reach out once more, only to feel betrayed once again.
  • Addiction as a Spiritual Disease  By : David B Smith
    Addiction as a Spiritual Disease
    an edited extract from 'Understanding Addiction'

    Addiction is a spiritual disease. ... Because addiction is a direct assault against the Self, it is also a direct attack on the spirit or soul of the person suffering from the addiction. A person's spirit sustains life; addiction leads to spiritual death.
  • Addiction Psychology  By : David B Smith
    Addiction Psychology
    an edited extract from 'Understanding Addiction'

    Addictive logic is summed up in the phrase "I want what I want and I want it now." Emotional needs often feel very urgent and compulsive. Such emotional logic works to satisfy this urgency even if it is not in the best interest of the person.
  • An open letter from the President of the United States  By : David B Smith
    An Open Letter from the
    President of the United States
    Still I find it hard to accept the terrible reality of the events of Tuesday 11th September, 2001. The days go by, but the pain does not go away. Nor does the passing of the days in any way diminish the enormity of the human tragedy that has befallen us.

    As a man I find myself shocked, stricken, angry and grieving. As an American I find myself affronted, indignant, defiant, and very much focused on recompense.

  • Drugs & the Juvenille Justice System  By : David B Smith
    I've often said that if it were possible for me to accomplish just one thing in this area, I think that I would most like to make a difference to the whole problem of drug abuse in Dulwich Hill. That's not because I necessarily consider it to be a bigger problem than the gambling, materialism, or general godlessness I see around me, but I do consider myself to have a particular calling in this area. I do feel that if I could make a difference in this area, then my life and time here would have been worthwhile.
  • Faithful Stewards  By : Rebecca Livermore

  • Hitting Rock Bottom  By : David B Smith
    Hitting Rock Bottom!
    an edited extract from 'Understanding Addiction'

    There is a point where a person emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and finally, physically breaks down under the stress and pain produced by their addiction.

    The end-point of the addictive process is when the addict 'Hits Rock Bottom'. This stage of the cycle is also often referred to as the 'Life Breakdown Stage', because here the addicted person’s life will literally start to break apart under the pressure caused by

  • Is There Power In Prayer?  By : Akili Kumasi
    Our all-powerful and sovereign God wants us to learn how to pray effectively. He wants us to focus on Him and His power because real power is only with Him.

  • Nowhere to Rest!  By : Rev. David B. Smith
    Luke 9:57-62
    Nowhere to Rest!

    As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." And Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God."
  • Remembering those who died in the Bali Bombing  By : David B Smith
    October 12th Memorial Service
    Remembering those who died or are missing
    (since the Bali bombing)
    The events of October 12th have left us all, I think, a little shocked and confused. Those terrible outbursts of violence and mayhem that we associate with persons in countries many, many miles away are all of a sudden very close and very real for us. Terrorism is no longer somebody else's problem. It is now our problem too. We now have been swept up in this tragedy of violence that is engulfing so much of our world.
  • Reunited with Morde (April 2004)  By : David B Smith
    A Cheap Holiday in Other People's Misery
    (catching up with Mordechai Vanunu in Israel)
    One of my favourite pieces of music is the Sex Pistols' classic 'Holidays in the Sun' - a song that begins with the line, 'a cheap holiday in other people's misery'. This would have made a fitting epitaph for my holiday in Israel, except that the $3000 air ticket meant that it wasn't exactly cheap.
  • Speculative and Theoretical  By : ihowards
    Truth, good and beauty. Every man thrives to accomplish and have their own perception of the 3. One man's good can be another man's evil. Right and wrong is, in aspect, wrong and right.

  • The final word on the place of modern Israel in Biblical Prophecy  By : Rev. David B. Smith
    The final word on the place of modern Israel in Biblical Prophecy
    I’ve been hearing it, in one form or another, every since I was converted as a teenager - that God has a plan for political Israel, such that the fate of the nation is intricately tied to the fulfilment of other Biblical prophecies and, indeed, to the second coming of Christ!

  • The Most Protective Covering  By : ann777
    Protection is possibly the world’s most dire need. People today are living in fear of environmental disasters, terrorist plots, wars and plagues. How can our governments fully protect everyone? We are in the end-times before Jesus’ second coming. The Bible is full of prophesies describing the events
  • Tithing or God's Grace. Which Prospers You?  By : Lance D. R. Brown
    A lot of preachers are dogmatic about biblical tithing but most of what is being taught in Christian churches across North America about a believer's prosperity is just flat out erroneous. This is a huge topic so I am going to address one false doctrine to the next and make this a series. The words of the prophets are subject to the prophets so I invite you to scrutinize what I say with the word and God's holy spirit in you.
  • Why do we have to go through life and live on earth? Why can't we just be with God?  By : ihowards
    I believe it is the broad experience away from God. To know what it is to be out of His presence and what things are without Him. It's like learning the hard way. The problem is we can walk with Him now while we are on the earth and experience His presence through His spirit.
  • Why Do We Need A Savior?  By : ihowards
    In creation, God made man in his own image and gave him dominion over the earth realm, having a kingdom as he himself had a kingdom called Heaven. He formed the figure of man from the dust of the Earth and breathed his own life into him. Thus he made a friend that he could relate to, talk and walk with. However, the man turned his kingdom over to the enemy, called Satan or Lucifer.
