How can we foster genuine and peaceful dialogue with others who may share different opinions to us about the appropriateness of Australia Day being on 26 January?

We can be enormously grateful for Australia's Christian heritage this 26 January. Happy Australia Day!

The first person to take issue with Donald Trump’s insistence that there are only two genders was an Episcopalian priest. Of course. Bishop Marianne Budde used her Washington pulpit, tilted to the left, to berate the President for — of all things — agreeing with Moses.

The United States has been captivated by the fires sweeping across Los Angeles, California, destroying nearly everything in their path. A question many have raised goes as follows: “Did God do this?”

I am using "and" in my title more as a type of contrast. So, I am not saying the recent Trump inauguration was a Christian revival, but some similarities can nonetheless be mentioned.

“Stepping out” is not easy. Here are three crucial things to help you take your first step into something that seems impossible.

The more often Americans attend virtually any Christian denomination, as well as Jewish services, the more likely they are to adopt conservative political views, according to a recent statistical analysis. “The more Democrats go to church, the more they look like Republicans,” states the study.

In his inaugural speech, President Trump vowed 'we will not forget our God'. On retaking the White House, Trump has already acted on his promise to stand for Christian values. Check out his day one reforms here and learn how you can pray for the incoming administration.

Donald Trump has been inaugurated as president of the United States for the second time. While there may be surface political change and new political dynamics, what about the state of civilisation?

The Western church has placed such stringent conditions on civil disobedience that it's difficult to imagine any situation that meets the standard. Scripture paints a different picture.

It appears a humble loving Christian youth ministry has been far more successful in tackling youth crime than politicians and bureaucrats who’ve invested tens of millions of dollars — possibly hundreds of millions — in trying to reduce one of Australia’s fastest-growing social problems.

Late last year, Joshua Stylman, a husband, father, entrepreneur and investor from the US state of New York, penned a thought-provoking piece for the Brownstone Institute: "From Marcus Aurelius to Omar Little: A Man’s Code is Vital".

Last Wednesday night, the Canberra Declaration officially launched our 21 days of prayer and fasting for life (the unborn). Each year in Australia, about the same number of people are lost to abortion as all the wars we've ever been involved in. This is a tragedy of tragedies.

Something unexpected looks to be another first on the field — a pervasive expression of faith in the Bible and God’s love and provision for the teams and players, win or lose.

If there is a moral obligation for us to oppose abortion in more than word and thought, what deeds might satisfy this obligation? I would like to propose five simple steps we can take to socially and politically advance the cause of ending abortion in our nation.

Sowell draws a striking contrast between the elite academia, or the Anointed, and the general population, whom he refers to as the Benighted — those deemed unenlightened and trapped in moral or intellectual darkness.

Here, I briefly discuss three new books about three amazing Christian women. Two involve rather dramatic conversion stories of Americans who have recently written up their stories, while the third involves an Australian whose new book is equally inspiring.

In anticipation of these 21 days of prayer and fasting for life (19 January to 8 February), the Canberra Declaration will hold a Zoom prayer meeting on Wednesday night (15 January). And you are invited!

Leftism pretends that Christian political action is only acceptable when it advances the Leftist worldview, but is wrong and uniquely dangerous if it preserves the Christian worldview. It's time for Christians to stop believing such a silly lie.

It is this sustaining hope, envisioning glory to come, that allows us to continue amidst the sin and cruelty that darken our age and sometimes our own relationships closer to home. It empowers us to bear fruit as peacemakers, life givers, lovers of the poor, sick and suffering.
