Freedom is precious. But under lockdown, too many Australians have forgotten the meaning of liberty; the real definition of freedom. In truth, freedom comes from God, not government. In New South Wales, all eyes were on Premier Gladys Berejiklian last Thursday when she announced an [...]

For decades, ‘My body, my choice’ has been a mantra for those defending abortion. Given that it is the mother, not the father, who is tasked with carrying a baby to full term, it is understandable for there to be significant debate over the rights [...]

In a fascinating conversation, John Anderson interviews professor and author Carl Trueman about the ‘modern self’ and how we can reclaim contentment from the jaws of modern despair. Perhaps there is no greater irony in the modern world: the more we have prioritised our happiness, [...]

In a very short space of time, many Australian citizens have woken up to a very sobering choice: lose my medical autonomy, or lose my career. For some, a job loss will also mean the inability to continue supporting families or making mortgage repayments. Vaccine [...]

The cost in mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence and suicide is staggering. This week there have been renewed calls in the media and among Australia’s political leaders to move beyond a “Zero Covid” mindset, to begin our transition out of ongoing lockdowns and learn [...]

Matt Canavan and George Christensen have risked their reputations to speak up for suffering Australians. Their parliamentary speeches on lockdowns are worth listening to. In any age, it is difficult and costly to push against the majority viewpoint on an issue and take a principled [...]

Australia Prays was one of the most remarkable prayer events this nation has ever seen, and we have already begun to see God answer our prayers. We have just witnessed a remarkable event this weekend. An estimated 2,000–4,000 believers from across the nation joined 'Australia [...]

Australia’s beloved foreign affairs journalist Greg Sheridan has written his second book on God and his message is clear: Jesus is still the hope of our world. The way to be the very best at what you do, says The Australian’s Greg Sheridan, is to [...]

Pluralism asserts that all religions are equal paths to God. But that view misunderstands — and even dishonours — what each faith really teaches.

The ALP has traditionally been the voice for working Australians -- a voice it must now use so working Australians can keep their medical autonomy. All Australians want a safe exit from the crisis that has plagued our nation these last eighteen months. And while [...]

A commonly-repeated criticism since the beginning of 2020 has been that if you prioritise freedom over safety, you are being selfish. In many Christian circles, it is said to be “not loving your neighbour” if you vocally defend freedom. Such ideas continue to circulate, even [...]

Israel. It’s bizarre that such a tiny nation somehow makes news headlines every week. I guess when you occupy the hottest piece of real estate on the planet, the whole world is going to have an opinion. Today the media buzz is mostly about Israel’s [...]

Jesus might return at any moment. This is a clear teaching of Scripture and one that Jesus’ disciples embraced wholeheartedly. That may seem odd to us, given that almost 2,000 years have passed and the church is still waiting. But we were never promised a [...]

In a previous article, we profiled 13 elite sportspeople who made it to Tokyo, finished on the podium, and were unashamed in their Christian witness. They weren’t the only ones. Christian athletes were out in force at the Olympics this year, taking every opportunity to [...]

Christian athletes made a lot of headlines at the Tokyo Olympics, even in the secular media. More than any games in living memory, followers of Jesus took the opportunity to glorify God at their events, during interviews, and on social media. Below is a brief [...]

For some in the West, Islam is a synonym for terrorism and oppression. Others seem to believe that Muslims deserve a free pass, and special immunity from criticism. I’ll admit upfront that I’m biased too. I love my Muslim friends, and I have a deeper [...]

There is a popular image of heaven as a place of celestial bliss -- with clouds, angels, harps and chubby babies. But that’s not how the Bible depicts heaven at all. In Scripture, heaven is actually described as a new earth. Revelation in particular paints [...]

American wrestler Tamyra Mensah-Stock became an Olympic gold medallist on Tuesday after winning the women’s 68-kilogram freestyle wrestling final. Infectiously joyful, Mensah-Stock is an openly Christian athlete who chose to honour God during her post-match interview. “I surprised myself! It’s by the grace of God [...]

Major denominations and prayer networks from across Australia have been drawn together to pray for the crisis facing our nation. You are invited to be part of this historic event. ‘Australia Prays’ is a nationwide Zoom call taking place on Sunday 22nd August in response [...]

The return of Jesus can be a controversial topic. There are many reasons for this. Given the range of views Christians hold on the subject, it can create division in the church. Eschatology -- or the study of ‘last things’ -- can get us bogged [...]
