Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

The desire to be left alone is quickly being denied us by the ever-expanding state. If you have ever seen the first of the Rambo films (First Blood), you will know that a Vietnam War vet who just wants to be left alone is harassed [...]

Politicians come and go -- but God is still working out His purposes. We read in Daniel 2:21 that God “changes times and seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings.” This of course happens all the time. Leaders come and go. This week we [...]

The Big Brother war on farming should horrify all of us. How many times does it have to be said? Ignore history, and you WILL end up repeating its mistakes. When we see questionable things happening today that were done previously in recent history, we [...]

You and I are under constant scrutiny. We are being watched. No, I am not here talking about the growing surveillance state in the West, doing its best to keep up with Communist China in keeping tabs on our every movement. Instead, I want to [...]

Thoughts on scrutinising well-known public figures, such as Jordan Peterson, and holding them to Christian standards, when they are evidently not Christian. It seems to happen quite often: a bunch of articles or podcasts or interviews by Christians will appear, all having to do with [...]

The left is in a real quandary over Qatar, where their LGBT activism clashes with Islam. To chronicle the hypocrisy and double standards of the left is a full-time job, and my site has tried its best to keep up with it all. It is [...]

As always, Chesterton offers us sage advice. No, I don’t mean we should seek to sit on the fence where G.K. Chesterton used to live. I am not even sure if there is a fence there. What I am referring to here is a very [...]

We have so much to learn from the amazing life of Elisabeth Elliot, particularly regarding obedience and suffering. I recently revisited a 2020 volume by Ellen Vaughn. It is the authorised biography of Elisabeth Elliot. With all the bad news coming out of so many [...]

Now we have “churchmen” suggesting Jesus could have been transgender. We have had it all before of course: Jesus the Marxist; Jesus the Muslim; Jesus the homosexual; Jesus the hippy; Jesus the Socialist; Jesus the Greenie. The list never ends. And it was only a [...]

Freedom is being thrown away in the West while being fought for in Communist China. The contrast could not be greater: while sheepish and servile crowds are well on the road to serfdom, happily voting in dictators in Victoria, in China, the crowds are bravely [...]

Bad news in Victoria -- yet, though earthly governments may fail, we look to our eternal hope in the Lord. Saturday night was not a good one for Christians, for conservatives, and for those who value freedom, family and other key values. The short story [...]

To understand the diabolical nature of the Davos deities, read this book. This is not the first book to appear in recent times critiquing the Great Reset, Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum, and related matters. Some of these volumes I have already reviewed. But [...]

There is a lot of encouraging material to be found in this chapter of Scripture. We are called to share the Gospel with others. The Apostle Paul told us that ‘all scripture is… profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness’ [...]

Does our oneness in Christ mean thinking exactly alike? A phrase you will find often in my writings is ‘we need to get the biblical balance right’. That is something all Christians always must strive for. It is all too easy to go off on [...]

This is a shocking bit of propaganda presented as journalism. To defend the indefensible always means one has to resort to euphemisms, subterfuge and deception. Telling the truth about what is clearly unacceptable just will not cut it. As George Orwell put it, “political language [...]

Considering how to organise a nation with cohesive values that promote human flourishing, Wolfe puts forward a strong case for Christian nationalism. This is actually my third article on this volume, and I expect more will be forthcoming. Being a lengthy book with careful argumentation, [...]

The public arena is not neutral -- rival religions are competing for hegemony. We are told -- at least in theory -- that in the West all points of view are welcome, and they can be argued for in public forums. This may have been [...]

Many people know what it is like to be a black sheep. Many families and communities will have some black sheep: those who are ostracised and vilified because they are considered to be a disgrace. Sometimes such treatment can be justified -- sometimes not. Of [...]

A culture based only on feelings and sensations is a doomed culture. Civilisations used to be based in good measure on reason and mental and moral clarity, on rationality and common sense. Sadly, most of that has been swept away in the West and we [...]

Following the mid-term results, we need to reflect again on matters of faith and politics. Well, the American mid-terms have come and gone. Yes, counting continues, and some results -- including a likely Georgia run-off election to be held next month -- will take some [...]
