The hand of God
Harry Goodhew - Sunday 14 March 2010
I’m a city boy - born and bred. But some 40 years ago I went and did a stint in the outback as a bush padre. That was quite a shift – being translated from the order and close settlement of suburban life to which I had always been accustomed, out to the long treeless miles of the Nullabor Plains. I did return to work in the city when I finished my term ‘in the outback’ but I’ve never forgotten some of the lessons, impressions, and experiences gained from those days. One in particular sticks in my memory and I would love to share it with you in the few moments we have together this morning.
Doubting faith
Margaret Hall - Sunday 7 March 2010
There’s an episode of the nineties’ television sitcom Seinfeld where George is complaining that nothing good ever happens to him. He says, “God wouldn’t let it happen.” His friend Jerry says, “I thought you didn’t believe in God.”
“I do for the bad things,” says George. If we’re honest we can all relate to that. When things are going well, we don’t necessarily attribute that to God. We might even take credit ourselves for the fact they’re going well. We might think it’s only right they should go well - it’s what we deserve.
