Dear friend, as outlined in a previous article, our freedom to believe, to speak of that which we believe – yes, even around the kitchen table – to teach that which we believe, and have it taught in our chosen educational facilities by teachers that [...]

Phillip Adams recently wrote a poignant piece in The Weekend Australian which provides a window into some of the intensely personal reasons as to why he is an atheist. And while his intention is to present himself as being morally magnanimous, his autobiographical admission is [...]

Last night I came home from a busy day at the office. I walked into the kitchen where my son and daughter-in-law were cooking dinner. I instinctively reached out my hands behind both their backs and rubbed their backs as if to congratulate them for [...]

There is a saying that ‘a good father gets down to his children’s level’. This really came to light recently at my son’s 35th birthday dinner. Even though it was a birthday party for an adult, it was one of the most child-friendly parties I [...]

The Australian Human Rights Commission has just released its Guidelines for the inclusion of transgender and gender diverse people in sport dated June 2019. According to the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Kate Jenkins: Further, these guidelines have been endorsed by David Gallop, the Chairman of the [...]

“Traditional” medicine is under attack on many interrelated fronts, perhaps broadly represented in summary by these specific but interrelated front lines. Liberty of Conscience in Medicine The exercise of conscience is foundational to good medicine. It underlies every aspect of good medical practice, to make [...]

Some time ago I wrote an article called “Ten Reasons for Eating Together” for the Dads4Kids weekly newsletter to inspire fathers and encourage families. The week after the story went out to 5,000 fathers, I spoke to my wife about the newsletter. I said, “You [...]

To my praying friends. A three-year respite from the relentless march of evil. To plan and implement strategy. This is an outline to pray. During which time the church has a chance to repent, to become a “confessing church”, a united church. If we do [...]

‘Fathers Who Dare Win’ is a confronting but captivating title for a great book on how to be a great dad. Ian Grant, the author, was for many years New Zealand’s number one parenting coach. Ian and his wife founded the Parenting Place in 1993. [...]

Like many others, I’ve come to the conclusion that political activists are targeting the most impressionable people in the community, that is, our schoolchildren. And due to their tender age and intellectual vulnerability, they clearly think that they are ripe for the ideological picking. Let [...]

The movie "Unplanned" is making waves in America for its depiction of the abortion industry. Based on Abby Johnson's book by the same title, the film follows her personal journey, including an abusive relationship at college, a surgical abortion, rise through the ranks of Planned Parenthood employees, and her dramatic turn-around into a pro-life advocate.

In my three previous articles on abortion, I have looked at several issues relating to human life, the Divine Prerogative and the timing of abortion. One of the most sensitive areas in the abortion debate relates to the right of the woman to choose. In [...]

Politics is boring. That was definitely my view growing up. I’d say it’s the view of most young Australians. Except for those few vocal friends in our newsfeeds, perhaps. (I might be one of them. If so, I’m sorry. I hate being ‘that guy’). For [...]

In my two previous articles on abortion, I considered the issue of human life – what it is and when it begins. I also considered the issue of the Divine Prerogative. One of the areas of debate on the abortion issue is the TIMING on [...]

Australia will radically change if Labor wins the May 18 Federal election. This will be true in so many areas, but let me focus on just a few. A Labor victory will mean a massive win for all the radical social and sexual engineers and [...]

‘A little knowledge is a dangerous thing’ and few examples show this better than medical professionals discussing abortion. I entered medical research because I wanted to use my love of science to help people, and I believe many in the field share this motivation. However, [...]

If only!! There was a time when the fear of God meant something, “when committed Christians were known as God-fearing people. This was a badge of honour.” (Jerry Bridges). What does it mean? It is much more than simply being scared and has been described [...]

Richard Branson said, “If happiness is the goal – and it should be, then adventures should be top priority.” It is the priority of adventure that makes being out in the bush with a bunch of dads and their kids really exhilarating. Wollondilly River Station, [...]

The title of this article, “Secrets of the Superdads”, is taken from the ABC Science Show screened several years ago. It is even more relevant today than the day it was made. You know that the fatherhood revolution is well underway when the ABC screens [...]

I can always remember Dr Bruce Robson, Australia’s best-selling fatherhood author, telling the guys at the ‘Good to Great’ Fatherhood Course about Janis Joplin’s father. For those who don’t know her musical history, Janis Joplin was one of the great female vocalists of the late [...]
