Western leaders now use ruthless rhetoric against the vaccine free, calling them extremists, dangerous, outcasts, no longer citizens. Demonising minorities is back – and it's a sign of our post-Christian times. History does not look kindly upon societies — or political leaders — who demonise [...]

Stay away from this occultic tool of dubious New Age spirituality and Sufi fortune-telling roots. It is not a mere personality test and cannot be made compatible with faith in Jesus. Many Christians are getting into the Enneagram. They shouldn’t be. Folks may claim that [...]

An incredible tale of a neopagan coming to Christ, after years of wandering in the wilderness of spiritism. God's love saved her from the emptiness of manipulating people through magick and trying to control her life through the occult. Grace, a good friend of mine, [...]

In today's post-Christian Australian society which is increasingly hostile toward faith, the Religious Discrimination Bill merely aims to bring religious freedom protections into line with protections for other attributes.
