Ponderings and musings on work

Work, something that I do enjoy yet just how much can be done in one day? In the brief week that I’ve been back at work I’ve found that I just can’t keep up. When I get back from work at the end of a long day I find it hard to consentrate again. Why [...]

Free at last

So, today saw the end of my second last semester at Swinburne University and I’m now free. Well, I’m never completely free, but I am free for a couple of months till I get back into the swing of things for my final semester of studies at Swinburne University.
Reflecting back on this semester I’ve discovered [...]

A humble servant and Evangelism

As many people do know, I love talking about Jesus. I enjoy telling people about the finer points of theology and am always excited to read the latest theological book and compare everything to God’s revealed word (that is, the Bible).
Though God in his grace has shown me something this past week. Namely, I will [...]

Patience, vocation and season

Preface: To God be the glory forever and ever, Amen.
Let me repeat that once more as even I fail to see its importance and depth on many ocassions. To God be the glory forever and ever, Amen.

Procrastination

Ahh the blissful time between having nothing to do and being completely stressed out because everything is due in such a short period of time.
Going through the amount of work I have to do it consists of 4 assignments, 2 tests and ongoing requirements for a year long project. That is just for this semesters [...]

Back in the swing of things

Outdoor church services

On Sunday the 9th of December 2007, Chirstchurch Hawthorn held a carols service in the park which was a real success. The service was a lot of fun and the sound was fantastic, though hard to tell with roadies always running around trying to get things working. Alas, I was one of those roadies and [...]

God is near and involved

As I was reading through Deuteronomy this morning God spoke to me from verses 5 to 8 of chapter 4 which read:
Deuteronomy 4:5-8

5 See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 6 Keep [...]

Why do we pray ‘Your kingdom come’?

Today’s Christians, myself included, are aware that Jesus is Lord and Savior. Evangelicals in particular are focused on Jesus in many ways, though struggle when it comes to the Kingdom of God, heaven.
Whilst up at Canberra for NTE the strand group I was involved in looked at the Old Testament passage of Micah 5:1-5. [...]

My name is Matthew Delves

So, I returned from Canberra very early this morning, most people would consider it late last night, and found some rather interesting comments awaiting moderation.
These comments appeared to be from a person by the name of rusty who in fact knows of another Matthew Delves. This kid (he used his high school email address) asked [...]
