I pastor Legana Christian Church in Tasmania, Australia. I also produce radio program called Finding Truth Matters where I take the ancient truth of God's Word, explain it, and show how it is relevant for today. I spend a fair bit time helping couples prepare for their marriages and have been doing so now for nearly 30 years. Lately, I've been producing some 1 minute audios for radio stations where I try to take a complex problem or idea and simplify it and offer a different perspective for people to consider. I blog. I write eBooks on some of these topics as well.

Knowing God Through The Psalms - Part 2, Developing Confidence in GOD's Care
The first of the five books of the Book of Psalms are psalms largely written by King David. In Psalm 4 David is under threat and he expresses his confidence in GOD because he has come to continually experience GOD's care. GOD's faithfulness to him over the years gave him many reasons to trust GOD even in difficult times. Let's consider what we can learn from Psalm 4 so that we too can develop confidence in GOD.

Knowing God Through The Psalms - Part 1, Introducing The Psalms
The Book of Psalms has helped millions of believers to articulate their worship of GOD. These 150 Psalms are written as poetry which express prayers, experiences, desires. The Book of the Five Volumes of Psalms have been compiled either by Ezra, or a disciple of Ezra. Thus, there are at least two Psalms that are what we might refer to as 'editorial' psalms (Psalm 1, and 119).
It is interesting to consider that the poetry of Psalms is reflective of GOD'S 'language'. Poetry is by its very nature - thoughtful, careful, well-considered, and evocative. It is worth noting that whenever GOD spoke through the prophets they all communicated with poetry. Let this study of the Psalms enrich your worship of the One True GOD who loves you. -

About Knowing God - Part 6, THE CHALLENGE OF KNOWING & BEING KNOWN & HOW IT TRANSFORMS US
Intuitively we might suspect GOD to be unique, eternal (uncreated), infinitely loving (which means GOD is not a monolith), all-powerful, impeccably good (holy), supremely intelligent, communicative, transcendent (unlike us), immanent (close to us), omnipresent. Do all religions present GOD to be like this? No they don't. And when we come to know the True God, it leads to us being positively transformed. Here's how.

About Knowing God - Part 5.2 - SPIRIT INSPIRED LOVE
The Christian life is not merely the acceptance of a set of propositions, it is a spiritual transformation. Jesus said it was 'better that I go, so that I can send the Holy Spirit'. By the filling of the Spirit we are able to know God better, and love Him and others better.
