Though written in the 1970s, the song Streets of London by Ralph McTell still provides a challenge to us today about caring for the poor and lonely — especially in tough cultural and economic times.

How ironic that our Labour Government should be at pains to pass a "misinformation" bill to ban propaganda, and their government agency will decide what is and isn’t propaganda!

Last Friday night, I attended "Rediscovering Medicine Uncensored – the Australian Tour", sponsored by AMPS (Australian Medical Professional’s Society). Healthcare has been hijacked by big business and nefarious political agendas. We can take back responsibility for our own healthcare.

No, I am not talking about how two viable human cells from opposite genders combine to create a new living being. Rather, I am talking about how parents "view" their children and how children "view" themselves.

How the world has changed in 60 years! I don’t know anyone today who has a fully positive attitude towards corporal punishment. Meanwhile, as time has gone by, more and more expletives are now accepted.

Social media gets such a bad rap! It distracts. It shortens attention span. It kills the art of conversation. It breeds isolation and loneliness. It triggers depression because we can never live up to the perfect lives of our friends. How does it do this?

One day I was in a shopping mall and happened to overhear this conversation from a table near me. There was a dad with his teenage son, about 13 years old...

I remember my parents visiting Israel from our home in England in 1960, and I went on my own, as a 19-year-old non-Christian, in 1971 to volunteer on a kibbutz. I am sure this background planted seeds of my love for Israel.

She believes that the Great Awakening has already begun in Australia, and that Discipleship will be a big emphasis as we will need so many to disciple the new Christians. There will be a new wave of Church Planting across this land.

We hear so many different perspectives on the land and the people of Israel. I am not going to be debating the relative merits of these perspectives, but simply trying, as faithfully as I can, to report my own experience as a reference point.

My innate faith in others has been shattered. For once in my life, I came face to face with evil, though I never saw the face of my robber. However, I did see, in hindsight, the face of the mastermind on the platform, my robber's boss...
