Capture the Beauty of Creation

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Panasonic Australia. All opinions are 100% mine.

Genesis 1

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

Capture the beauty of God's creation, a living and dynhamic work of art from day one up to now.

So, where do you think is the best place in the planet where the beauty of natures are mostly kept. Well this is something hard to answer and any place that you think deserves the title will always be debatable. Nonetheless Australia will always stand as a very good candidate. Australia’s density in terms of person per area of the land is relatively very low hence the counties'natural beauties have better chances of being unharmed by the invasion of the modern man.

So, if you want to see real beauty of natures, Australia is the place to be. But when you go there be sure to bring you best digital camera. Be sure to bring Lumix.



Grab your LUMIX, capture what you think is the heart and soul of Australia and be part of LUMIX Life Focus on Australia.

Christians: Caretaker of the Planet

Christians should always remember that they are just tenants of the planet earth.

Everyone, Christians and non-Christians has the responsibility to take good care of this planet. This planet of ours has been handed to us by the previous generation in very good shape but our life style is gradually ruining it.

We have the duty to hand this to the next generation in a state similar or better than it was handed to us.

We should live simply and green.

The meek and humble inherits the earth. (Mt. 5.5)

This verse from the gospel of Mathew echoes the call for living sustainable life.

It's not yet too late. We better start acting now. Let's save the planet:



Why not try this good idea which so many people dont even know exists. Why not try
N-Viro recycling processes which uses lime and/or mineral-rich, combustion byproducts to treat, pasteurize, immobilize and convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products with real market value.

This product will surely reduce greenhouse gas emission and prevent our planet from its impending damnation. Come and visit http://www.nviro.com for more details.

A Christian Blog on the Animal Within

A Christian life is a life of looking after an animal. A Christian life is not purely about religious life. A Christian life is taming the animal within one's life.

We are animals. We are rational animals. Christians life therefore is just like taking good care of an animal.

The tamer your animal within you is, the more Christian you are.

Make yourself your pet animal. Look after for it, tame it, give it a bathe regularly, discipline it, and you will find that you are okay. A true Christian.

Let the animal within you get lost and you are lost. A wild animal is a dangerous animal.

A Christian Blog on the Story of the First Christians Christmas

Do you ever wonder why St. Mark, St. John and St. Paul did not write anything about Christmas? Well, perhaps the simple answer could be that Jesus’ birth was not actually as in the first Christmas story.

St. Matthew and St. Luke were writing using the same source hence it will not be surprising if both of them related the story of the first Christmas.

St. Matthew’s account was obviously trying to prove that Jesus was indeed the most awaited messiah by the Jews. In order for him to sound credible, St. Matthew therefore has to write his story in a manner that is acceptable to the Jews. Since the Jews believe that what they were waiting for is someone who has been foretold by the prophets therefore St. Matthew has to write a story in which the prophecies in the Old Testament were fulfilled in the life of Jesus. Hence every significant event in his account of Jesus story is being concluded by a phrase which reads like, this is so in order that what has been written by the prophet is fulfilled. It is very likely that St. Matthew was just making up stories, but still in Theological context this is not considered as a lie. He knows absolutely that Jesus is the Son of God, the messiah, the Saviour and the like and as an evangelist it is his duty to write an account of Jesus that will bring people to believe and to have faith and during his time, the only way to do it was to prove that Jesus is the one that has been written about by the prophets.

St. Luke on the other hand could have been facing a different situation. Perhaps he was writing for an audience who are no longer querying whether Jesus was the one written about by the prophets but rather asking whether Jesus was a historical figure. Hence we read in St. Luke’s account about the socio-cultural context during the time of his birth. His story of the first Christmas commenced with the tax census required by the Roman Empire:

1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to his own town to register.
4So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

However, by placing the time of Jesus birth with this census, St. Luke contradicted St. Matthew’s account in which the birth of Jesus was placed during the time of King Herod which took place ten years earlier. While many believe that it was St. Luke who could have been mistaken but taking a closer look at the context of their writings, it is very likely that St. Luke’s account is more credible than St. Matthew (or perhaps both of them were wrong.) St. Matthew might have made use of King Herod as the prophecies in the old testaments that he used could be more fitting in Herod’s story.

A Christian Blog on Matthew and Luke Christmas Story

It's common for every Christian to have in mind the typical Christian story in which Jesus was born in a manger when Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to register. Then somewhere nearby the angel appeared to the Shepherd and announce the good news. And then there came the magi with their respective gifts for the King of kings.

This Christian famous Christmas story is actually a combination of Luke and Matthews stories.

The elements pertaining to Matthew's are:

• conceived by the Holy Spirit
• magi - wise men from the east
• massacre of the children
• escaping to Egypt

And the elements pertaining to Luke's are:

• conceived by the holy spirit
• register for taxation
• manger
• shepherds

Notice also the Mark and John had no account of the first Christian Christmas.

Between Matthew and Luke, the difference could be that Matthew is proving more that Jesus is the most awaited messiah as foretold by the prophets while Luke tend to appeal to history, i.e. proving that Jesus was a historical figure. The main problem however is that King Herod in Matthew has reigned ten yeasr before the sensus.
