Everyone must be aware of the dangers of idolatry. As will become quite clear after reading the following quotes, an idol is anything we put in the place of the one true God. It can be your job, your car, your spouse, your hobby, your [...]

How do we understand the role of emotion in the Christian life? We are emotional beings who have very real feelings. But that is not all that we are. We are also intellectual beings who can think, and volitional beings who can make choices. Yet [...]

This brief volume by R. C. Sproul is a little gem of a book, reflecting on the purpose of humanity in the light of our glorious God. The noted American theologian and pastor R. C. Sproul passed away late in December 2017 (aged 78). I [...]

What we do for God must be done in God’s way and with God’s enabling. We all have gifts and abilities which have been given to us by God. And God expects us to use them for His glory. It may not always be clear [...]

Why we should say ‘no’ to the Voice. Australia’s Labor Prime Minister Albanese wants a referendum about including an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the Australian Constitution. This is to supposedly counter “racism” and the like. While there are many lefties clamouring for this, how [...]

When you want to defend unspeakable evil, the only way to get away with it is to do a demolition job on truth, logic, reason, and reality. And if you want to pretend to be a Christian while defending the indefensible, then you have to [...]

What General MacArthur managed to do in Japan after the war was nothing short of remarkable. What do you do if you are given the task of turning a feudalistic and militaristic culture that has just been defeated in war into a democratic, stable and [...]

What we need to withstand those who would destroy our culture in futile attempts to remake civilisation according to their impossible ideals. The influential English historian Paul Johnson died earlier this week. His passing did not seem to result in all that much media coverage, [...]

Way to go, Dutch freedom fighters! Dutch farmers have banded together to form a political party and preserve their way of life, refusing to give in to socialist state control of their land. Gotta like the Dutch. I often write about Holland in part because [...]

Where is God when cancer returns? This is really a two-part piece: a general devotional on God and suffering, followed by an update on our ongoing personal cancer story. Some of you are aware of our journey over the past year, and a new development [...]

Whom or what we choose to serve has serious consequences. When Bob Dylan was in his Christian phase (I am not quite sure where he is at now), he released a few hardcore and full-on Christian albums. The opening track on his 1979 album Slow [...]

Some wise words about the ever-present threat of statism. ‘The state is my shepherd; I shall not want.’ As worship of the living God shrinks, worship of the state grows. It used to be Communist societies and Muslim-majority ones where we witnessed tyranny on a [...]

What is conservatism all about? These quotes express the values and worldview of various prominent conservatives. As my readers will know, I am a Christian first, and a conservative second. If I wanted to offer some of the best quotes on Christianity, I would need [...]

If we really want to help other people, we must do it God’s way. If we care about others, we of course want to help them when and where we can. But not everything we do may be helpful. We may in fact cause more [...]

Can the deception get any worse than this? Satan is real. Sin is real. The fall is real. And deception is real. But too many folks do not believe in any of these realities. As a result, they end up fully falling victim to them. [...]

Very wise words by Lewis on the place of emotion. Because C.S. Lewis was such a deep thinker and so widely read, he was able to offer incisive and wise words about all sorts of things, including those things he may not have yet experienced. [...]

How do you react when coming upon great evil? A few days ago, I viewed part of some American true crime program on TV. The gist of it was this: a woman with four young children conspired with her lover to kill her husband and [...]

How should we live in the face of impending doom? Just how should we live if we thought our present way of life was all but finished, with a dark and uncertain future just around the corner? If we knew almost certainly that everything was [...]

Os Guinness discusses the lateness of the American hour. Nothing lasts forever. People come and go, and nations come and go. Sadly, once free, democratic and prosperous nations can lose all that and devolve into something much different. The old saying holds: ‘Eternal vigilance is [...]

Climate lockdowns are now following on from Covid lockdowns. Here is a truth you must never forget: the same power-hungry control freaks who wanted to lock down the whole world to keep us ‘safe’ from Covid are also wanting to lock down the whole world [...]
