Christians can have just as much trouble as non-Christians in getting their priorities right. We tend to ignore what is most important for Christ and the Kingdom and instead concentrate on what is of importance for ourselves. But this never ends well.

Whenever there are discussions about how Israel might deal with the reality of being surrounded on all sides by those who seek its complete destruction, much mental and moral confusion arises. The most recent episode involved an incredible cyber-attack that took place in Lebanon.

A major point of a digital ID is not to identify yourself, but to track and trace your every move. As always, it is about control; it is about Big Brother keeping an eye on you and making sure that we all stay in line and remain subservient to the all-powerful State.

As with bits of most government legislation, the Misinformation Bill is worded in such a way as to sound quite innocuous and safe – even helpful and necessary. But that is so often not the case, and the opposite outcome is what we must fear.

One of the most shameful and alarming events of modern history took place from 2020-2022. Under the guise of saving us from the COVID-19 virus, much of the world went through one of the most shocking periods of statist control and violation of basic human rights.

God did sometimes ask His people to do some rather odd things as recorded in the Bible. It is possible He might ask us to do some strange things as well. But generally speaking, we have the whole of Scripture to give us directions and guidelines as to both proper speech and proper action.

All true people of God, from the ancient Jews, to contemporary Christians, have understood the reality that pain and suffering can serve a vitally useful spiritual purpose. Strange as that might sound, the testimony of millions of believers testifies to this truth.

We now have had two assassination attempts on former President Donald J. Trump in two months. Thankfully, both attempts have not succeeded, but how many more such attempts will occur?

The Western church today is now in its own Babylonian captivity. We are now strangers in a strange land. How, then, are we to respond to all this? There are at least seven main responses from the story of Daniel that we should bear in mind as we ponder our situation today.

Our hearts are not as they should be. Our souls are not as they should be. Our spiritual condition is in a real bad way. We are all in need of radical spiritual surgery, or we are all goners. There are many biblical texts that speak to this.

It seems to me – and it should be clear to any impartial observer – that there were two main losers here: the American people, and the network that hosted the debate.

In "Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren’t Growing Up", Shrier examines the huge mental health crisis that our young people are experiencing. And much of the “therapy” that most children are receiving is simply making matters worse.

This is a great book and one that brings some much-needed sense to the debates of the day. Kisin is NOT anti-immigration. Remember, he is an immigrant himself. “Immigration is good for everyone,” he says, “when it is controlled.”

Basically, all cultures throughout human history have been involved in slavery. Yet Westerners today tend to think it ONLY happened in Western countries and was perpetrated by whites on non-whites. Slavery is wrong, but telling lies about it is wrong as well.

Christianity is Christ. Jesus is the most important person to ever walk this earth. He is also God incarnate, and the living Saviour of those who come to Him in faith and repentance. As such, there are countless books about Him.

Christians today have plenty of questions as to what exactly is happening in the world and why God might be allowing different things to happen. This is true not just in our own personal lives, but in the affairs of nations.

We need to trust God in the dark. We need to keep seeking Him and having faith even when the questions pile up. And we also need to be sensitive to others as they continue on in their spiritual journey.

After a five-year wait, Dr Jereth Kok finally had a hearing in Melbourne last month. He was represented by the Christian legal group, the Human Rights Law Alliance. They did a terrific job, but the case continues.

In this article, I want to address questions and concerns some folks might have about the US elections, and the two main teams. Specifically, what might we think about Team Trump, including his new backer, Robert F. Kennedy Jr? Polarisation is running hot as ever on this issue.

Fatherlessness is a growing problem all over the Western world. We urgently need to address the twin problems of fatherlessness and family breakdown. Until we tackle these problems, our children and our societies will continue to suffer.
