At the mere word of God the earth will tremble and shake. One need not be up on the 1957 version of the song by Jerry Lee Lewis mentioned in my title to appreciate what follows. If you were in Melbourne and its surrounds on Sunday night, you [...]

Wokeshevism, the title of a new collection of essays edited by Augusto Zimmermann and Joshua Forrester is a must-read on the woke revolution. If a doctor wants to properly help a patient, he first needs to know just what ails him. In the same way, [...]

80 years ago C S Lewis clearly sounded the alarm, but we paid no heed. He told us so. He tried to warn us. He sounded the alarm 80 years ago. Back in 1943 Lewis gave three extremely important lectures which were published four years later in the form of The Abolition of [...]

Some choice quotes from this important book by Lewis: In February of 1943 C. S. Lewis gave three lectures which set out to do several things: examine the philosophical follies of modern education and reductionistic scientism, and make the case for objective values and natural law. They were published [...]

It is a blessing of God that he does not tell us all that will befall us as believers in the years ahead. How many new Christians would be deterred from going on if they had a fuller picture of what they would have to go [...]

We must not be surprised at the opposition we will all get as we seek to do God’s work. In Ezra 4 we read that when the Israelites who came back from exile were determined to rebuild the temple, they were met with adversaries who [...]

The New York Presbyterian pastor and popular author Tim Keller has passed away, aged just 72. He had been struggling with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer for a year and a half. (As a personal aside, it was around the very same time he learned of [...]

A Review of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution by Louise Perry. Over the past few decades, there have been a number of excellent works critiquing the sexual revolution, the porn culture, sexuality divorced from morality, and so on. While many of these are penned [...]

Many try to tell us that Hitler and the Nazis were a bunch of conservatives, capitalists and probably even Christians. But the National Socialists were just that: socialists, who had modelled themselves on the secular Communist tyranny that preceded it. Marxism and fascism are totalitarian twins separated at birth.

So very often our politicians let us down. It has been known for millennia that two of the most corrupting, debilitating and destructive forces on earth are wealth addictions and power addictions. And often they go together. It is especially in the political arena that we find this deadly duo [...]

Christian conservatives are NOT welcome in the Liberal Party. If you know your Star Wars films, there is a scene in the 1977 movie where Luke Skywalker enters the Cantina with R2-D2 and C-3PO, only to be met by an angry bartender. This dialogue follows: “Hey! We don’t serve their kind here.” “What?” [...]

One can never get enough of Leonard Ravenhill. There is always so much we can glean from the words of Ravenhill – though he is dead, yet he still speaks. He has brought a very strong and anointed word for the Body of Christ today. Sure, many [...]

These quotes will encourage and convict – we need to hear them. The great preacher, teacher and revivalist Leonard Ravenhill (1907–1994) had a huge influence on millions of Christians. He even was involved in discipling folks like Keith Green. His prophetic ministry was a godsend [...]

Some of the great saints of recent times need to be spiritually bathed in more than merely written about. Reading their books and hearing their sermons is often far superior to just reading a written report about them. This is certainly true about the great [...]

Memorable quotes from Chesterton’s memorable book. OK, I confess. I have a copy of G. K. Chesterton’s 1908 classic Orthodoxy in my hands once again. It is never far from my side, and I revisit it regularly. I have often said that Chesterton is my all-time favourite author and Orthodoxy is my all-time favourite [...]

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936) is one of my favourite writers, and his 1908 volume Orthodoxy is one of my favourite books. He was an English writer, apologist, poet, essayist, and journalist. He was extremely prolific, having penned some 80 books, 400 essays, and many short stories, [...]

Being ‘true to yourself’ is often the worst thing you can do. Often music can capture the way a culture thinks and feels. It can reflect both helpful and not-so-helpful things. For example, a popular song performed by various artists in 1967 and 1968 was “I’ve Gotta Be [...]

Militant transgenderism kills – literally. People have died because of this insanity, and many more have been injured for life. And it brings about death in so many other ways. The very notion of womanhood is dying. Childhood is dying. Biology is dying. Truth is dying. Freedom [...]

In this morning’s reading, I came upon a really encouraging passage, as I often do. 2 Kings 20:5 states: “I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you.” This comes from the familiar story of King Hezekiah. Below I [...]

Why are our leaders obsessed with pushing the drug plague down our throats? Wow, this is just plain scary. Here are four recent headlines taken from one online newspaper in one city: the Herald Sun in Melbourne, Australia. They tell us all we need to know about life in Dictator Dan’s [...]
