No matter how interested you are in cricket, it’s Australia’s national game. Indeed, when John Howard was the Prime Minister, he reckoned he had the second most important job in the nation after the Australian cricket captain. If that’s true, then we had a crisis of national leadership last year when our nation’s captain, vice-captain…

Once, when Jesus was speaking with his disciples, he challenged them with this… “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world but lose his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26) In the Bible, the soul is the centre of a person’s being. It’s…

Walmart in the United States stays open 24 hours every day of the year … except for Christmas day. It’s an example of how, all over the world, Christmas is so much bigger than Easter.
