We can learn so much from Jonathan Edwards about revival. Given how much talk there is about revival at the moment, and how much interest is being shown to the various campus awakenings in the United States, and all the discussions and debates about them, [...]

Onwards and upwards for Martyn Iles. Most folks have heard the news that the head of the Australian Christian Lobby, Martyn Iles, is moving on. Or, perhaps more accurately, has been given his marching orders by the Board. That has caught most of us by [...]

If you know what is going on in Victoria, you are left with one burning question: How long before Moira Deeming is booted out of the state Liberal Party just like Bernie Finn was?

So many are now coming out admitting we were massively wrong in dealing with COVID-19. Better late than never, I suppose. Many of us have been saying for nearly three years now that the hysterical government overreactions to Covid were way over the top, unnecessary, [...]

The activities taking place in Kentucky and elsewhere continue. As I said in earlier pieces, it is really easy to find polarisation here. Some Christians love what they see at Asbury and elsewhere, believing God is fully at work. Others are ready to dismiss it [...]

Theologian Jonathan Edwards has penned great wisdom on discerning the Holy Spirit's presence in a revival movement. With what appears to be some moves of God in some American campuses, plenty of talk about revival is again being heard. And well it should. We should [...]

Some thoughts on what is occurring at Asbury University. What is happening right now at Asbury University in Kentucky is of course still ongoing -- now having lasted over a week. So it is hard to say anything definitive about this event. Like most believers, [...]

Worldviews matter when it comes to purpose and meaning. There are various versions of what is found in my title. Other formulations would include, ‘Nothing happens in life without a reason.’ And if something does not take place, a related saying is: ‘It wasn’t meant [...]

How should we best respond to our diabolical pop culture? What messages are our youth imbibing from such music and entertainment? There are at least two issues I want to discuss here. One is the old problem of calling out evil in society, and whether [...]

Marriage matters, and women and children especially suffer without it. Many decades of social science research have conclusively demonstrated that heterosexual marriage is an invaluable social good, with benefits for adults, children and society at large. As a well-documented 2004 booklet that I was involved [...]

Do we need to remake God to keep the trans activists happy? Why not simply respect His preferred pronouns? Here is a truth you can take to the bank: every stupid and idiotic idea, trend, fashion and ideology that the world is pushing will eventually [...]

Reading Tozer never disappoints. His reflections on cultivating a deeper spiritual life are timely exhortations for us today. One can argue that pretty much everything A. W. Tozer wrote about or spoke about had to do with the deeper life: that is, with intimately knowing [...]

We all need to pray more -- I sure do. Just in case you are thinking: ‘Here goes Bill again, bashing other believers’ -- not so. If anything, I am bashing myself here, while trying to encourage others. I have not prayed anywhere near as [...]

What we should know about George MacDonald. The famous Scottish author, poet and Christian Congregational minister has had a huge impact on so many. His numerous works are still widely read today. As C. S. Lewis once said about MacDonald: “I have never concealed the [...]

We can learn a lot from Moses and his concern for God’s glory. If you are like me, you may often worry about what others think of you. What should really concern us, however, is what God thinks of us. After all, the fear of [...]

This new volume offers us plenty of help in dealing with various difficulties found in Scripture. If you are familiar with key contemporary Christian apologists, you would know of Paul Copan. I happen to have 22 of his books, and he has written more than [...]

The cross of Jesus Christ is the central reality of Christianity. Be inspired by these powerful quotes on the profound significance of His sacrifice.

This is the supreme part of the Christian life. I continue offering some fantastic quotes from the book Whatever Happened to Worship? edited and compiled by Gerald B. Smith (Moody, 1985, 2012). With so many inspiring and moving quotations to be found in the book, [...]

These are some of the most important things we can ever dwell upon. The other day I shared this quote from R. C. Sproul: “The point of the exodus was not simply to redeem people from oppression, but to redeem them to something: from slavery [...]

What we must know about ‘tolerance’. Tolerance used to be understood to mean respectfully disagreeing with others. It implied the fact that two people differed on some matter. But today it has come to mean something quite different. Today it means you must agree with [...]
