They are coming after our kids -- no doubt about it. The sexual revolutionaries hate children. There is no other way to account for their shocking attempts to fully sexualise our children and to allow them to harm themselves in the most egregious fashion, including [...]

How are Christians to understand their relationship with the world? Should Christians have utterly nothing to do with the world, renounce the world, and despise the world? Or should Christians find some good in the world, seek to redeem the world, and try to transform [...]

On the Australian Anglican Church split. It is a perennial question: What happens when a Christian church or denomination or school or institution starts to go bad? And by this I mean when they start to clearly depart from biblical teachings and reject core Christian [...]

A group of prominent conservative Anglicans has split from the mainstream church, forming its own breakaway diocese: the Diocese of the Southern Cross.

Victorian MP Fiona Patten is pushing a new bill that aims to take away the rights of publicly funded hospitals with religious affiliations to refuse to perform abortions and euthanasia. The state’s current laws allow women to access an abortion up to 24 weeks into [...]

I was shocked to read a recent survey that found less than half of Australians believe Jesus was a real person. Whatever else you may think of him, to be uncertain of Jesus’ very existence is absurd: that Jesus was a real person can be [...]

How are you doing in God’s refining process? According to Scripture, God both tests and refines His people, and images of refining fires, crucibles for metals, purifying fires, the smelting process, and the like are often used. While testing and purifying are somewhat distinct but [...]

Yes, as Christians, we should share our values and beliefs with others -- boldly and unapologetically. It may be uncomfortable, but it is our prophetic duty and also our democratic right to speak up. I hear Christians all the time saying that we cannot and [...]

Secular attempts to force inclusivity upon everyone are anything but inclusive. Why is this so? Let us examine the underlying assumptions of this totalitarian worldview. Inclusivity has become a hot topic of conversation since the Manly Sea Eagles Pride Jersey Saga. The Manly NRL club [...]

We are in a profound spiritual battle, beset by culture wars. Are you with your compatriots in the fray, or missing from the battlefield? The term ‘missing in action’ is of course a military one: when a soldier, during, or in the wake of a [...]

Editor's Note: Sr María Gonzalo-García, writing in Plough, muses on the spiritual fruits gained as we wait for God to act in our lives. ___ Rafael Arnaiz, the young future saint, thought he was doing God’s will. Then diabetes forced him to return home from [...]

Leonard Cohen (1934 – 2016), Canadian singer-songwriter, poet and novelist, released one of his most memorable songs (poems), Anthem, in 1992.  I have only come across his work in recent years and this song has made an abiding impression on me. In this piece, I [...]

Editor's Note: Suzanna Bowdey at The Washington Stand reports on US soccer player Jaelene Daniels' sacrifice of her lifelong career dream due to her principled stance, refusing to kowtow to politically correct politicking in her sport. ___ On Jaelene Daniels’s Twitter page, there’s a single pinned [...]

Our current parliament reveals more of its leftist secularist ideals, trampling on Australian history and applying dastardly double standards. If there is a word that substitutes for thought among our political class, it is ‘diversity’. Diversity is a kind of magical word that is summoned [...]

Those who have survived battle find it hard to readjust to ‘normality’. If you read the Lord of the Rings trilogy or saw the film version, you will know that at the end, the four brave hobbits have returned to the Shire. They share a [...]

Australian Senate President Sue Lines is right to demand that the longstanding tradition of opening each day of federal parliament with the Lord’s Prayer be abolished. The words of Jesus are dangerous and politicians should be protected from hearing them lest they startle the country [...]

One of Australia’s most prominent Christian historians, Professor Stuart Piggin, recently sat down with Kurt Mahlburg to share about the Christian intentions for the First Fleet, revivals in the Illawarra and the Pacific Islands, and much more. “Jesus is the desire of the nations,” Professor [...]

Why you should pay attention to the insane. At a time when insanity is increasingly normalised, it’s smart to pay attention to the insane. I used to dismiss acts of insanity as “freakish” and “fringe”. Not anymore. If you give it a week, the oddity [...]

Those who do not want to get involved are a part of the problem. Sins of omission allow evil to continue and grow worse. We have a duty to act, however uncomfortable it may be. We all know of various media reports that now and [...]

There appears to be only one acceptable narrative these days, despite the constant trumpeting of "diversity" and "inclusion". A professor opines on the Manly rugby players' apparent lack of education in progressive values. If only the naive Manly Sea Eagles players who refused to wear [...]
