I have found myself thinking a lot about the situation around Israel Folau.
A lot of the debate around what has happened seems a bit reductive and seems to boil down to do I personally agree with him or not?
However there is, of course, a lot more going on.
It’s that time of year again. The weather starts to turn cold. The flu vaccination gets advertised. The winter lurgy begins to rear its ugly head. One by one your friends and colleagues succumb to its persistent and pervading powers.
The 3 Angels’ Messages in Revelation 14 is a significant passage that birthed the Adventist movement. What does it mean and how does it apply to us today?

With the Australian federal elections this week, how do we recognise good leadership? What does it mean to be a good leader for us?
Why is health important? How does it impact our spirituality?
While browsing the news this week I came across some sad news. Tam, one of the last remaining Sumatran Rhinos, has died. I guess it’s not really up there with some of the really terrible stuff in the news but it is symptomatic of how humans, as a whole, are treating the earth.
Our guest speaker Pastor Peter Roennfeldt shares a workshop on a different way to share our faith.
1See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland.
The wild animals honor me,
the jackals and the owls,
because I provide water in the wilderness
and streams in the wasteland,
to give drink to my people, my chosenthe people I formed for myself
that they may proclaim my praise. Isaiah 43: 19-21

When I lived in a city, rain was a bit of a nuisance. It made it harder to get places and do things.
Here in Alice it is a major event.
