God knows every star in every galaxy (in fact, He created them) as well as the tiniest, nearly invisible microbe that the world’s most powerful microscope can barely see. What’s more, this infinite, transcendent God cares about us deeply.

What are the cultural implications of Donald Trump’s decisive presidential victory? How should followers of Jesus assess all this?

Kamala Harris has a moral blindspot on abortion. She fails to recognise abortion snuffs out a real, human life, a life with unknown potential, however tiny and still-developing it may be.

The Word clearly tells us how to speak about leaders, and claiming that Jesus used insulting, coarse or even vulgar language when speaking about Herod is just an excuse for our own carnality. 

When dealing with sin in the church, there are two extremes that we must avoid. On the one side is greasy 'grace' in which sin is minimised, overlooked, and even covered up. On the other side is haughty 'holiness' in which the sinner is condemned without mercy.

What on earth is Project 2025, and why has it become such a talking point for the United States presidential elections? According to former President Trump, he knows nothing about it, other than that it represents the worst of the radical right.

Perhaps Donald Trump could be one of the greatest leaders in America’s history, remembered with awe and respect by Democrats and Republicans alike. Let us pray like never before for God’s best for him and for the United States of America. God is able!

There are times when God draws near in the here and now, coming in great power and as a holy refining fire, bringing hidden things to light while we are alive in this world.

We desperately need a revival of the fear of the Lord, a recovery of the awe of God, a restoration of reverence. It is a matter of life and death. May the Lord have mercy on His people, may He purify His bride, may He make something beautiful out of us, and may His name be glorified.

We live in times of great shaking and tremendous uncertainty, times in which it is not hard to wonder, “What is coming next?” In times like this, it is all the more important to put all our trust – not some, but all – in Jesus Christ. He alone is our Rock, our Refuge, our Helper, our Redeemer.

Because repentance (Hebrew "teshuvah") is a great theme of the Old Testament, it is also a great theme of Judaism. It is a theme found throughout the New Testament as well. In fact, it has been said that “‘repent’ is the first word of the Gospel.”

We are living in times of great shaking, times of refining and purifying. How should we respond? In the words of the Gospel song, and in the spirit of Isaiah 6, we should say, “Take the coal, touch my lips, here I stand.” Let the cleansing begin with me. Judgment begins with God’s household.

This article is not meant to provoke or insult or demean or antagonise or gaslight. Instead, it is meant to help readers understand why I continue to say that the “NAR” of the critics does not exist.

It’s one thing for pastors and Christian leaders to educate their constituencies about candidates and issues. This is very important to do during election seasons. But it is so important that we don’t hitch our wagons to political leaders, lest their misbehaviour tarnishes our reputations.

You may appreciate Donald Trump's efforts to stand up for Christian liberties and defend our rights. But in no way should you look to him to lead the way in bringing about the moral or cultural transformation of the USA, let alone the spiritual transformation.

What does God’s reality look like? What is normal according to the Word? As I have said for many years, what the world calls fanaticism and most of the church calls extremism, God calls normal.

To all those who prophesied that Trump would serve a second consecutive term, I appeal to you in the strongest possible terms: admit your error, take full responsibility, and do not, under any circumstances, continue to put a false hope into the hearts of God’s people.

Is it true that leaders of the BLM movement, including one of the co-founders, are calling on the spirits of the dead? That they claim to receive spiritual power from the deceased? That they talk with these spirits and even give them names? The answer to all these questions is yes.
