Prime Minister Scott Morrison has been attacked by the Left on two fronts, regarding women's rights vis-a-vis transgender athletes, and how having healthy children is a blessing. While howling down their opposition, the Left tries to drown out their own hypocrisy. That the secular left [...]

What is the difference between a church and a parachurch group? How do we manage the boundaries and overlap between the two? Most folks know what a church is -- well, at least they have in their minds an image of a biggish building with [...]

The silence of the lambs is a disgrace. To remain silent in the face of sin and destruction is folly and goes against our Christian mission. We must speak out against evil and lies. I recently saw someone’s post on social media lamenting the silence [...]

The Great Reset is real and is the most sinister threat we now face. Glenn Beck has written a mesmerising, well-researched tome on the global machinations eliminating our basic freedoms. Those who have been following the alarming agenda of the Great Reset -- if even [...]

Finally, a win for freedom of conscience and religion in Finland, in the long-drawn-out case of principled politician Päivi Räsänen. Prosecuted for a hate crime after stating Biblical views about marriage on social media, Räsänen has at long last been vindicated in a court of [...]

The plague of moral equivalence is still with us. Is it a tenable position? Or are civilisational fence-sitters dead wrong? For those not in the know, moral equivalence is a political concept that states that two sides of a given conflict are basically more or [...]

Thinking about right, wrong and justice in warfare. Just war theory, as formulated by Christian thinkers down the ages, outlines the principles by which a nation may legitimately enter a war. In a fallen world, war, the use of force, bloodshed, violence and aggression will [...]
