Is God’s knowledge limited? Let us examine what Scripture reveals about God's omniscience, and how to properly interpret puzzling passages. At the outset, let me relieve any fears you might have regarding my title. Indeed, it might seem like a rather foolish question to be [...]

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; [...]

As we enter a new year, here are some excellent resolutions to consider in the ongoing quest to deepen our spiritual lives, grow closer to God and serve Him in our neighbour. From the basics of being steeped in Scripture and persistent in prayer, we [...]

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. His new book details his conversion from atheist Marxism to Christianity, through the influence of Christian scientists at Oxford, reading prominent science philosophers who acknowledge the limits of empirical [...]

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 [...]

There are two temptations to avoid while grieving, which can be especially difficult during the Christmas season. Focusing on God's promise of eternal life helps us look beyond the gaping maw of death into the brilliant light of Heaven. Sadly the loss of loved ones [...]

How are we to wade through the conflicting information in today's world? Firstly, be wary of those who push a narrative with no tolerance for debate or dissent. We live in an age of information overload, and with things like the internet, we have zillions [...]

The Puritans are known for banning Christmas -- but were they being Grinches? In fact, they were aghast at the licentiousness around the holy day, and sought to purify the community. Today as we observe the Nativity of Our Lord, let us keep the feast [...]

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 [...]

While standing up for Gospel truth in the public sphere, just being ‘nice’ is not enough. We have a duty to speak clearly and directly to people, no matter how offensive they may find it. The Gospel message cannot be compromised by pandering to overwrought [...]

The Prophet Elijah's life of service to God and man provides a wealth of reflection for us this day, particularly in times of trouble and upheaval in the church and in the world. We all can use some inspiration and encouragement, especially when the days [...]

Even in the midst of civilisational decline, Josiah led his people with virtue and honour, giving glory to God. We could use a few Josiahs today. Many of you know about the bright light that was King Josiah of Judah who reigned in a very [...]

Christians are called to be 'set apart' for God and to separate themselves from sin and worldliness. But segregation – the kind being practiced in today's society against the unvaccinated – is completely unbiblical. Churches and Christian businesses should know better. Should churches and Christian [...]

Don't let unanswered prayer get you down. The prayers of God's people are more powerful than you realise – they helped topple the Berlin wall and they are a powerful weapon against tyranny today. Here is a truth you can count on: we will never [...]

Romans 13 makes it clear that God has ordained civil government to restrain evil. But what recourse do Christians have when the government itself becomes evil? Is anarchy an option? Until recently, Christians could rejoice in the tremendous amount of political freedom, human rights and [...]

The resistance movement gaining ground in Australia in many ways resembles the movements that brought communism to an end in Eastern Europe in the 1980s. What made those revolutions successful was the union of human and divine power. Extraordinary outcomes can be achieved when two [...]

Christians are regularly told to butt out of politics. But in church history, the heroes are those who impacted the political realm for the better: people like Bonhoeffer and Niemoller. Meanwhile, those who kept their faith to themselves gave the nod to tyrants. Enemies of [...]

As believers, we look forward to Jesus coming back. But in the meantime, we have work to do – some of which may hasten his return. Why does the Lord not return sooner? Many of us are longing for the Lord’s return and praying for [...]
