Following the hugely successful World Prayer Assembly in Perth in October 2023, Suva, Fiji was chosen for the Pacific Prayer Assembly (PPA) between 17-20 October 2024. Amazingly, the date selected, initially without realisation, was the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles.

Last week, the Australian Catholic University managed to turn every word in its name into an oxymoron. It’s Australian, but neither its staff nor its students believe in a “fair go”. It’s officially Catholic, but students walked out on an eminent speaker who opposed abortion.

"In the end, the only memorable stories, like the only memorable experiences, are religious and moral. They give men the heart to suffer the ordeal of a life that perpetually rends them between its beauty and its terror." These two sentences, written by Whittaker Chambers, quite literally stopped me in my tracks.

Rather than seeking satisfaction in created things, come to Jesus – the bread of life – today, knowing that He satisfies the hunger of all who come to Him in faith.

We are living in an age of disruption. Joe Rogan is now one of the biggest media personalities in the world, and Donald Trump looks almost certain to win a second term as President of the United States. Here are my top ten highlights of their extensive exchange.

As I write this piece, Israel has just launched “precise strikes” on military targets in Iran in response to its ongoing attack on the tiny nation, either directly or through its proxies in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and so on.

If the NRL wants to continue producing role models, it must emphasise values of responsibility and discernment over the dangerous allure of a wild night out. Ultimately, the future of these players and the sport depends on this cultural shift.

New South Wales Libertarians will fight for “no jab, no job” justice. Confirming that the public health orders were creating a public health crisis, John Ruddick said, on a cost-to-benefit analysis, it was “unprecedented that such major policies (outside a war) were not weighed and balanced.”

NSW MLC John Ruddick delivered a powerful speech to the state parliament about the excessive funding of rainbow activism. Lobbyists who rely on government grants do not simply pat themselves on the back after winning their cause – they get addicted to the gravy train.

Even though life can be a grind, the truth is life should be an adventure. As men, we should heed the call of adventure and answer it as much as possible. Our lives, and that of our families, depend on it.

Let us draw near to the One who trained Himself to be godly. Let us partner with His training in this great journey of faith. He has begun our race. He will help us complete it.

The Lord Jesus Christ was a true servant leader. By following His example, we offer a witness to the world of the true nature of leadership.

The world has become increasingly complicated and confused about sex. Through the Australian Sexual Integrity Creed, we can love people and love the truth.

As the US Presidential election draws nearer, two conflicting opinions are emerging for Christians wishing to vote in a principled manner. Both have their merits and both allow for a decision to be made in good conscience.

Here, we have a “Christian” university apologising for having a strong Catholic giving a strong Catholic speech. Um, what would they prefer? In the future will they only have atheist speakers come in? Or Muslim speakers? And they are offering counselling for those who were offended!

Religious freedom, the ability to worship and evangelise, has been increasingly curtailed in the name of “anti-discrimination” and “inclusion”. Now, with its proposed misinformation laws, the federal government has Australians of faith in its sights in the name of “truth”.

Either the Egyptian king had the freedom to let Israel go, or he did not. If Pharaoh had a choice, then Pharaoh hardened his own heart. But if God hardened Pharaoh’s heart — as the text says — then what choice did Pharaoh have?

Make no mistake – Israel is only being attacked because it is part of God’s plan for the redemption of the whole of humanity, and Satan does not want that. So, we need to step up our prayers and stand with Israel.

God has given us guidelines to live a good, significant, and beautiful life. As an expression of the love between a husband and wife, sex is a gift from the Lord, a gift of beauty and grace.

Senator Lidia Thorpe’s behaviour recently is completely unacceptable and should result in her being removed from Parliament. This is because Sen. Thorpe has intentionally and repeatedly betrayed the formal oath she — clearly reluctantly — made at her swearing-in.
