In keeping with Marxist history, now a radical leftist in California is demanding that all parents surrender their children to the State, for the goal of "true equity". Would abolishing natural parenthood and creating more dependence on the government truly create a more just and [...]

Stay away from this occultic tool of dubious New Age spirituality and Sufi fortune-telling roots. It is not a mere personality test and cannot be made compatible with faith in Jesus. Many Christians are getting into the Enneagram. They shouldn’t be. Folks may claim that [...]

An incredible tale of a neopagan coming to Christ, after years of wandering in the wilderness of spiritism. God's love saved her from the emptiness of manipulating people through magick and trying to control her life through the occult. Grace, a good friend of mine, [...]

God may have shared some burdens with you -- they are heavy, but bearable. He carries your crosses with you, and these crosses are your path to eternal joy. Everyone you meet is carrying some kind of burden. It can be anything: a failed relationship; [...]

The closing words of Scripture are eternally comforting. As one tumultuous year passes and another year dawns, we take heart in God's heavenly promise of everlasting joy and peace, in His kingdom which will come to fruition and remain when all our temporal sufferings have [...]

Christmas is all about life and light bursting forth in the midst of death and darkness. From this divine life came a religion that rescued the vulnerable and cared for the weak, changing the values of entire civilisations. One of the main reasons why we [...]

The life and ministry of Alister McGrath, scientist and theologian, is a fascinating and inspiring one.

Why does the state exist? How do we discern whether the state is acting in conflict with the word of God? Is obedience to the state meant to be absolute? There are different types of government, of course: there is church government, self-government, and so [...]

Marriage forms the family, and the family is the basic building block of society. When marriages and families break down, so do individuals and society. We need better policies to encourage strong marriages and families, if we are to save our society from its increasing [...]
