- Scaring Our Kids to Death (To Save the Planet) December 9, 2009The four-minute opening video at the Copenhagen Summit was a propaganda piece which would have made Goebbels proud. Entitled “Please Help the World,” it has all the hallmarks of a Hollywood end-of-the-world blockbuster. Loaded with emotional hysteria, moving imagery, and screaming children, it is indoctrination at its finest. It finishes with the plaintive p […]
- The Copenhagen Cult, Green Religion, and Money Grabs December 7, 2009In 1982 Professor Robert Nisbet wrote a book called Prejudices: A Philosophical Dictionary. In his section on “Environmentalism” he said this: “Environmentalism is now well on its way to becoming the third great wave of the redemptive struggle in Western history, the first being Christianity, the second modern socialism.” He went on to describe the religious […]
- Climategate and Copenhagen December 6, 2009Tomorrow the Copenhagen Summit begins. Just a few weeks ago the Climategate scandal broke – something that can only be described as providential.

- Climategate and Mediagate December 1, 2009Thank God for the alternative media. And a pox on the mainstream media.

- Health Care Myths November 30, 2009There are two horrendous government bills being considered at the moment. Both deserve an immediate and decisive death. One is the ETS bill which Rudd wants Australia to pass. It, like the Copenhagen proposals, will be utter disaster for all of us. It will do nothing to help the climate, and will simply be a [...]
- David’s Mighty Men: Godly Discontentment November 29, 2009I was recently speaking and teaching interstate at some churches and Christian groups. A number of these groups, I was informed, had actually broken away from a larger Pentecostal denomination. They had simply grown disillusioned with what their megachurches were on about, and wanted to get back to a more pure and biblical Christianity. They had [...]

Very nice art, once again.:)
Yes, it’s a nice one!
Good morning. I stand in agreement with the above comments. While we don’t have deserts around here, there’s something profound about the desert places. A place where all that is of this world is stripped away and the refiners fire performs its work in the hearts of the holy seekers and loving inquirers. A place of trials; of lonliness, of death to all that is “self” as one is brought to their wits end. And then, when they can go on no longer…revelation. A glimpse into the divine realities and a taste of the world to come. Enhanced understanding of our faithful Creator who inhabits all of eternity and is forging us into his likeness.
Thanks for fostering reflection this morning. Blessings always in Jesus name.

Thanks for writing timbob, very interesting thoughts! The desert is definitely something else! I’ve got friends who’ve said that visiting northern Australia is like being in a completely different country, the landscapes and people are so different to those of us who live in the relatively cold and wet southeast coastal regions.
