Where is God as darkened ideologies gather momentum? As Christians are increasingly targeted for arrest and nations posture on the edge of conflict? In the answer to that question, we find hope and joy because it leads us to the inexhaustible grace of God.

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.

There is much spiritual warfare in this season. This is evident by assassination attempts, Israel fighting for its survival, fraudulent elections, and abhorrent laws being put forward by godless politicians.  We need to be able to fight, not flesh and blood, but with faith in the heavenlies.

I am serious and sincere in my contention that the nation of Australia is currently experiencing the wrath of God. This is demonstrated by the prevalence of wickedness which exists throughout our land. It is my hope that the Lord may use this warning to lead His people to repentance.

God did sometimes ask His people to do some rather odd things as recorded in the Bible. It is possible He might ask us to do some strange things as well. But generally speaking, we have the whole of Scripture to give us directions and guidelines as to both proper speech and proper action.

A profound spiritual transformation is unfolding in the Amazon. For centuries, the Catholic Church held a near-monopoly in the region. Today, evangelical Christianity is reshaping the region’s spiritual fabric, leading to new converts and churches.

Without about five weeks to go before the Pacific Prayer Assembly, I am reminded of how God honours faith. Following Jesus is really just the beginning of a journey. Learning to trust God is the next stage of that journey.

The Western church today is now in its own Babylonian captivity. We are now strangers in a strange land. How, then, are we to respond to all this? There are at least seven main responses from the story of Daniel that we should bear in mind as we ponder our situation today.

We are coming up to the Month of Prayer and Fasting from 1–31 October 2024 for Revival and the Restoration of Sexual Integrity to renew the individual, revitalise marriages, restore families and protect children.

Our hearts are not as they should be. Our souls are not as they should be. Our spiritual condition is in a real bad way. We are all in need of radical spiritual surgery, or we are all goners. There are many biblical texts that speak to this.

The Paralympics might draw fewer fans and bring in very little revenue for athletes. It’s often the under-appreciated sibling of the main Olympic event. But victory for Paralympic athletes feels different.

I believe that despite the current conflict between Hamas and Israel, there is indeed hope for Gaza. The Scriptures give us hope for a remnant from Gaza that will one day live peacefully among Israelis.

If the Great Commission is a command to be obeyed, we must strive to understand what Jesus expects from each one of us. Documentary filmmaker Nathan Anderson has released a compelling five-part docuseries on this very subject, titled "Teach All Nations".

Christians today have plenty of questions as to what exactly is happening in the world and why God might be allowing different things to happen. This is true not just in our own personal lives, but in the affairs of nations.

We need to trust God in the dark. We need to keep seeking Him and having faith even when the questions pile up. And we also need to be sensitive to others as they continue on in their spiritual journey.

Australia has been connected historically, politically and spiritually to the Pacific region. Now, more than ever, God wants to bring Oceania together for the End Times harvest.

During Marriage Week (8-15 September 2024), there is a great opportunity to strengthen or rebuild a strong marriage culture within the church and beyond in the community.
