The reason why more and more people today – at least in the West – seem unable to cope with life is because they are believing in and living lies – thus, they keep crashing headlong into reality. And it hurts.

We have plenty of evil rulers doing great harm today all around the globe. But like Manasseh, God is fully aware of them, and their days are numbered as well.

There is not a toddler on the planet who can even remotely be considered to be transphobic or homophobic or anything else. But what even quite young children do know is there is a difference between girls and boys. It takes a fool activist adult to try to convince them otherwise.

Decades ago, we warned that the public promotion of radical sexual agendas would have worrying and lasting repercussions. We were mocked and scorned for saying this. Now, the trans militants are working overtime, targeting women and children especially.

Believers can have differing views on things like AI, but the discerning Christian will know that we must fully face these issues and not underestimate the harm that they can do.

All sorts of folks from a range of worldviews and ideologies are working through politics to see their values become dominant in our society. Christians should not be ashamed of sharing their concerns and hopes for a good society, one based on the goodness and wisdom of God.

We all sin. And that includes Christians. Some sins are more obvious and overt than others. When a pastor or Christian leader sins – often in the form of sexual sin – it is manifest to lots of people. How should Christians respond to these situations?

I do not want to minimise what believers in Syria and elsewhere are now experiencing. But whatever suffering and persecution we go through, we know that it is limited in duration, that Satan has been overcome and Christ’s enemies will be dealt with, and we will live with our Lord forever.

Why are so many males running away from their own masculinity? There would be many reasons for this, and sadly, the church is not exempt from responsibility for this. It, too, has warred against men and masculinity.

There are numerous reasons why it can be argued that Anthony Albanese is the worst Prime Minister Australia has ever had. If not the worst, then certainly in the top two or three. Everything he touches seems to turn to ashes.

According to the White House, American filmmaker Michael Moore has just made the “dumbest statement of the year.” And I am inclined to agree with them. It was not only dumb, but it further reveals the hypocrisy and double standards of the loony left.

While Western elites, politicians and media outlets all hyperventilate about the supposed problem of “Islamophobia” in the West, the real truth is this: throughout the world, the most persecuted religious group is Christianity, and it is so often mainly Islam that is doing the persecution.

A government without accountability and checks and balances is not a proper government but a tyranny. In a fallen world, having limited and small government is a basic necessity, given how much power corrupts.

Plenty of good books have been written over recent years looking at the cultural captivity of Christian churches, evangelicalism’s decline, and the rise of religious lefties embracing radical woke policies, pushing identity politics, running with faulty social justice narratives, and so on.

Leading British intellectual and Jewish commentator Melanie Phillips offers much-needed clarity on how Western leftists are siding with Islamists to bring about the end, not only of Israel, but of the West.

It used to be that conservatives needed to work long and hard to see their aims and objectives accomplished. Now, increasingly, the lefties are doing so much of the work for us.

When you aggressively work on draining the swamp, there is one thing you can be certain of: a whole lot of ugly, dark and disgusting stuff starts coming to the surface.

I was once very much a man of the left, but since becoming a Christian, I have moved to the right. But neither one deserves my complete allegiance. While much of conservatism I readily embrace, there are some aspects of it that I want little to do with.

Well over 40 years ago, as he wrote in "How Democracies Perish", Revel could see that the West was in dire straits, and external enemies back then – most notably Soviet Communism – were being aided and abetted by those within the West who were simply blind to the goods of their own world.

These books all argue that modern Israel has a right to exist, it has a right to defend itself, and it is the only real democracy in the entire Middle East. Given the global hatred and hostility to Israel, we need to be aware of books like these.
