Luke smashes a list.

Wow. There are no papers to be seen, anywhere in my room!

Uni started back today (awwww) and I’ve decided that this semester I’m getting organised. I’ve got a diary, pocket notebook (for to-do lists), and calendar. I’ve set all three of my emails to forward to the one gmail inbox, which I have cleared so that it holds only emails still requiring some action by me – a total of 12 emails at the moment, but shrinking. I’ve set up filters to automatically deal with emails I get often.

And this afternoon I went out and bought notebooks, a stapler, and a hole-puncher (I found the last two in my desk drawer as I put my new acquisitions away). I grabbed a ring-binder, took all the paper I had, and made categories. And voila! No more paper!

How long will this last?

Stats don't lie - teens and porn

Porn has never been so easy to get, which means it’s never been so hard to get away from. Don’t fight alone. xxxchurch.com is a great website.

Why is it that when I read of great men of the past, I cannot simply thank God for them and seek to follow their example? Why does jealousy flame within me and why is ambition stirred?

I do want to do great things for God… and I’m becoming more and more convinced that this desire may suffice to keep me from it. Would God use such a proud vessel?

Mark Driscoll is blogging an insightful series on Spurgeon. Part 1 and Part 2 and Part 3. Each is better than the last.

… at uni or in year 12, you will be at SPRTE. And you will have the best time of the year. And if you miss it, you will regret it.

I’m with Adrian Warnock on this: I want it all too! (And, I now have name for what I am: reformed charismatic)

Last night I rocked out with the rest of CCEC NiteChurch at NiteChurch Live. It was awesome! I’m now losing my voice. Massive shoutout to all the musos and sound guys who gave heaps of their time to make it happen.

Former-atheist Antony Flew reviews future-former-atheist Richard Dawkins’ book The God Delusion. (h/t Craig, and yes, this post does contain one tongue-in-cheek hyphenated string.)

Lach posts a great prayer by Frank Houghton.

What has been the main message out of World Youth Day? I reckon it has been “Come back to the church”

That’s not the gospel! With the church’s history, both recent and distant, it’s just as well.

You don’t need the church to be saved. Come back to Jesus! He said “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish” (John 10:27-28)
