People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. A spiritual mentor came into my life several years ago, not long after I experienced dramatic turmoil in my life. She played a momentous role in my spiritual transformation and development and as is the nature of such things, accomplished the purpose for which she was sent and then moved on from my life.

Touch is the first sense by which we encounter the world, and the final one to leave us as we approach death’s edge. ‘Touch comes before sight, before speech,’ writes Margaret Atwood in her novel The Blind Assassin. ‘It is the first language and the last, and it always tells the truth.’
Join Terry Lees on Silver Linings as he highlights how science is now beginning to provide an account of why touch matters so much and how a better world is often just a hug away. Terry talks too of the saving touch of Jesus.

Episode 14: Who Are You God?

Why do people believe in God? For most people in the world, the answer seems obvious: Because it is self-evident that God exists. From the point of view of the believer, the really puzzling question is how anyone could not believe. Although many people in industrialised societies have abandoned traditional organised religion, many still confess to some sort of spiritual belief, such as a life-force or divine spirit that pervades nature and humanity.
Spend some time with Terry Lees on Silver Linings as he shares how our lives can be transformed by listening and learning God’s voice and how God, as a patient and loving Father, is willing to teach us slowly if necessary.

The world marvelled as Sydney Harbour was engulfed in spectacular fireworks. Ending in a crescendo, as the smoke cleared, through the haze, the distinctive illuminated copper-plate lettering style of the word Eternity appeared, in 18-metre-high letters on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Sydney crowd cheered in delight as the rest of the world looked on bewildered.
For those who did not understand the significance of those millennium celebrations … Terry Lees relates the story of Mr. Eternity – the Sydney Legend, the most famous graffiti artist in Australia’s history.

Saint Nicholas who had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for the mythical Santa Claus we know today. So, even within the real meaning of Christmas, we can still leave room for that mythical Santa Claus, provided we acknowledge the real reason for the season. There’s a poem by Warren D. Jennings, Santa’s Prayer on Christmas Eve, in which Santa does exactly that.
As we rejoice and celebrate this wonderful season of Christmas, let us remember that Jesus is the reason for the season and not forget to thank baby Jesus for coming into our lives.

Do you know the story of the real Santa Claus?
Yes, there is a Santa Claus. However, we know him more as St. Nicholas. Stories commonly told today about Santa Claus are based on legends surrounding the life of St. Nicholas, considered a patron of children for his generosity to them during his lifetime.
The image of Santa Claus has been popularised through television, movies and children’s story books. While some dislike the idea of gift-giving at Christmas, believing that the lavish celebrations are not in line with their faith, or that Santa has become a symbol of materialism, others believe that it continues to honour the life and deeds of Nicholas, an individual beloved and revered as protector and helper of those in need.
