Synonyms for nationalism are often linked to negative things like bigotry, protectionism, and xenophobia. But they also carry positive connotations, such as patriotism and good citizenship, [...]

Most people would have heard of the proposed two-state solution between Israel and the Palestinians.  Such a solution is not Biblical, as the God of Israel did in fact give the whole of the land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, that is, [...]

Now we come to the grand finale of Jennens’ and Handel’s inspired and prophetic masterwork. It began with the dark and ominous clouds in the orchestral Overture, and the prophetic announcement of “Comfort ye, My people”. Remember, Paul in 1 Corinthians 14:3 gave us the [...]

In recent years, the issue of suicide has become an alarming concern, with increasing numbers of lives lost to this tragic act. As a physician specialising in mental illness and a Christian, I believe it is crucial to address this issue from a personal and [...]

Suffering. Even the mention of the word is something we run from, due to the sense of discomfort it brings. In a world where we’re constantly surrounded by picture-perfect lives, how do we face the reality of pain? In a world where it’s often taught [...]

It is often said that the Christian needs to be on guard against the temptations of the three Gs: Gold, Girls and Glory. All three areas can easily trip up a believer and render him ineffective for kingdom service – and worse. Another similar way [...]

While countries like the United States and Canada have explicit protections for religious freedom, Australia's approach has been more nuanced, primarily relying on constitutional provisions [...]

The current debate regarding the ability of faith-based schools to preference staff who share a common faith appears to ignore a crucial principle of international human rights law that aims for a principled balancing of conflicting rights. World War II was the deadliest military conflict [...]

We now move on to the penultimate section of Handel’s “Messiah”. In the wordbook from 1743 I mentioned previously this has the heading, “A Hymn of Thanksgiving for the final overthrow of Death”. This, in turn, is broken down into another three sub-sections, the first [...]

The ACT Government continues to come under fire over its proposed takeover of Calvary Hospital in Bruce, this time for its “appalling” lack of proper process and failure to properly acknowledge the religious dimension of the crisis. ANU Professor: The Takeover Process is “Appalling” Andrew [...]
