By Dan Evers, Prison Chaplain In recent times, God has been sparking a work of revival within some of the inmates in maximum security at Goulburn Correctional Centre. A number of offenders have taken the initiative to gather each day to share from the Bible [...]

by Steven Buhagiar We were blessed to become “brand new” grandparents in our mid-40s with the arrival of our beautiful granddaughter Mila. This sense of newness, however, also brought with it a few questions of self-identity. Where did we fit in? Had we been relegated [...]

In a few years, Cyberdyne Systems will create a revolutionary defense system. It's called Skynet. A computer program that automatically controls the defense of the United States. The system goes online on August 4th… Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn [...]

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. This is so strange, I thought to myself. A colleague had asked Microsoft’s new Bing chatbot to create a picture of people reading the Bible. Even by the standards of our post-Christian world, you would expect such a [...]

First, it was the takeover of the Calvary Hospital in the ACT. Now it is the planned removal of payroll tax exemptions for many independent schools in Victoria. These actions by state and territory Labor governments denote a marked hostility towards the not-for-profit activities of [...]

The debate over Australia’s Indigenous Voice to Parliament is heating up. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has endorsed the Uluru Statement from the Heart’s request for an Indigenous Voice to (Federal) Parliament, while Federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is against it.  My own Church, the Sydney Anglican Church, endorsed a resolution late last [...]

This is the finale of my exploration of Globalism and Nationalism.  When I found this video of John Anderson interviewing Yoram Hazony, I could not have been happier! It is a tremendous capstone to what I would argue is one of the most important issues [...]

Our secular culture tells us that the secular (atheistic) view of life is rational and scientific. Religions like Christianity, we’re told, are little more than myths that we need to scrap to become enlightened, logical and reasonable people. Christians need to ‘grow up’ and face the [...]

The Catholic Bishop heading up World Youth Day has said he does not want to convert young people to Christianity. I guess World Youth Day will just be a hippie festival paid for by the Catholic Church. It certainly raises the question, what exactly is [...]

A vitally important defence of men and masculinity. Nancy Pearcey has said that this has been her most controversial book to date. That is telling. To simply affirm the importance of men and masculinity is controversial? Sadly, in the West today, it most certainly is. [...]

Australia faces the real prospect of a war with China within three years that could involve a direct attack on our mainland, but Australia’s defence force is woefully unprepared, the population complacent and the nation’s political leaders unwilling to address the dire threats we face. [...]

C. S. Lewis, cancer and grief. In many areas of life, the ideal is to combine the theoretical with the practical. This is true when it comes to thinking about, writing about, and speaking about the issues of pain, suffering and evil -- especially from [...]

The goal of Christian homeschooling is to equip kids with a holistic thinking toolbox. This requires some form of structure and a ton of nurturing.

Lyle Shelton takes readers on a rare behind-the-scenes tour of culture wars. “I Kid You Not”, is because the Left has gotten away with things most Australians would find incredible, if only they knew. Before #MeToo, Shelton fought the legalised sexual abuse of young women. [...]

Parents of New South Wales primary school children assume their kids are taught important and age-appropriate content at school. We want our kids to learn how to read, how to write, how to count -- and how to treat all people with respect. Most parents [...]

God sustains us in the most difficult of times. Some 55 hours ago, my wonderful wife was promoted to heavenly glory after much suffering and pain. Her 18-month battle with cancer finally came to an end. I and others are supremely glad that she is [...]
