Everywhere, we see love being smashed, crushed and destroyed. So many people are walking wounded, having never known what it is to really be loved and accepted and embraced.

The Supreme Court in the American state of Alabama has ruled that frozen embryos are indeed human persons and thus have the same rights to life as humans who have been born.

What America once did with its defence of life has now been fully reversed in France. It has become the first nation on earth to make abortion a constitutional right.

Monica Smit was one of Australia’s champion resistance fighters during the Covid wars – and she still is. She keeps fighting the good fight for freedom and resisting repulsive Big Brother statism.

We must seek to get the biblical balance: neither denying that God can do miracles, even today, nor insisting that we can snap our fingers and get God to show up with the fireworks, whenever we want.

That the miraculous is real is a given for Christians, since we know that God exists, and that He interacts with our world. But the question that needs to be addressed here is this: Can some believers over-rely on signs and wonders at times?

One cannot accuse Scripture of whitewashing things, or just painting a rosy picture about life. It presents things as they really are, warts and all. And that includes God’s people who get depressed, discouraged and question whether God is even there.

The most obvious issue is this: if you are going to spend $100 million on ads for a highly watched television event, you would think that getting the core message of Jesus out there would be paramount.

It is just too easy – certainly in the larger churches – for people to simply slip through the cracks. A person can be gone from church for quite a while, but they can easily be overlooked or forgotten.

The Israeli philosopher, historian, transhumanist, homosexual and atheist Yuval Noah Harari is about as bad as it gets when it comes to his pronouncements about who we are, where we should be heading, and how we should get there.

Jesus alone saves us. But we work with God in seeking to become more Christlike and more obedient. So we do need to always keep humble before God and keep asking Him to show us areas in our lives that need to be dealt with. This will be a lifelong process.

Why not let the homeless sleep in our churches? Just a few moments of reflection would reveal a host of serious problems and obstacles.

Divine presence is not the only way to summarise the scriptural story, but it is one very important way to describe it. So, as I say, why not do yourself a big favour and get stuck into Genesis today?

Even God’s great saints can feel quite down and wonder if their lives are really worth anything. Last night I was again musing on such things, but God brought 3 surprising things my way today to show me maybe I do have a real reason to be here, and some good can be done by our lives.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “What would life have been like if I was never born?” I have. Too often, I do in fact wonder if I have contributed anything of importance to others and to this world in general.

Scripture tells us repeatedly that we are to call out sinful behaviour and false teaching. It tells us often about the need to challenge one another, to rebuke, to warn, and to sound the alarm.

Naomi Wolf had been such a key part of the woke, progressive left for so many years, but the Covid Wars made it clear that most of the left was NOT on her side anymore. Or rather, she was no longer on their side.

We have not only a personal relationship with the King and Creator of the universe, but we get to live with Him and enjoy His company forever. There is nothing more remarkable than that reality.

As the West experiences a rise in secularism, it is also seeing a rise in the masses being dumbed down. Schools today increasingly are not teaching kids the things that matter.

We need each other. We depend upon one another. And a first step in this is often just to state your need. It is the same with God. We must first admit our need. We must abandon our foolish sense of self-sufficiency and tell God just how utterly dependent we are upon Him.
