Taking account of research around the relationship between genetics and our new ‘food environment’, Dr Robyn Toomath (endocrinologist and Clinical Director Wellington Hospital) argues that we are in the middle of an obesity epidemic which impacts widely on public health. She advocates for new approaches to obesity based not on blame or impossible personal goals, but on outcomes. She argues it is the responsibility of all to become informed and active (personally and politically), in working for change to present health policies and gives examples of what can be done.

Peter Crampton on public health in New Zealandmhjbnz
Prof Peter Crampton (Dean and Head of Campus, University of Otago Wellington)
specialist in public health medicine, argues that public health is a social, political, economic and justice issue, not a medical one. After charting the course of change to our health system since the 30’s, he urges every citizen to articulate in all their relationships (personal, professional, civil), their commitment to public health as a right of citizenship. He also agues that the goal of the public health system is to reduce inequalities and produce just outcomes for all New Zealanders.

Dr Ben Thirkell-White on Global poverty and the credit crunch 16 Sept 2009.
Collapse of Western excess is creating a crisis for developing countries caught in the tailwind. 2.8 billion survive on less than two dollars a day. After significant gains in the last decade, which saw GDP growing across Africa at an average of 5%, latest figures indicate this is dropped to less than 3%. The solutions are complex, will be incremental, and require action at both macro (intergovernmental) and micro-levels (individuals and NGOs assisting economic development on the ground). There is no silver bullet, but only realistic and committed action at all levels.
Dr Andy Reisinger, Senior Research Fellow, New Zealand Climate Change Research Institute, presents evidence that global warming, caused by human activity, is an irrefutable scientific fact; this is having huge ecological and social impacts which will ramify into future generations; were facing a global train wreck and have to act now.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
