What Schoolies taught me about the Australian Church. I’m 33, very happily married, with three amazing children, and I just went on my very first “Schoolies”. It was a drug- and alcohol-fueled sea of youth, and I absolutely loved it. In fact, I loved it [...]

The recent bushfires across the eastern coast of Australia have been a national tragedy. They have claimed many lives, destroyed hundreds of houses, and have decimated literally hundreds and thousands of hectares of bushland. Everyone agrees that we are overwhelmingly indebted to the fire-fighters who [...]

By now most of you would have heard how the leading evangelical magazine in America, Christianity Today, has editorialised that Christians cannot and should not support the President. Its Editor-in-Chief Mark Galli said that “Trump Should Be Removed from Office.” While many experts would still [...]

Last year I realised how much I pray for a nice sunny day, and how little I pray for rain and our farmers in the drought. God began opening my eyes to the devastation and breaking my heart for those who were struggling. One night [...]

The activists are now out to destroy Christmas as well: If the rainbow warriors have their way, nothing, I repeat, nothing, will be able to elude the radical homosexual juggernaut. The militants do not want anything to escape the clutches of their nefarious agenda. The [...]

Several years ago, Australia spent more on Christmas per capita than any other nation. The Americans are beating us this year, but we are still right up there. The average household in Australia will spend $969 each this Christmas, based on all expenses including gifts, [...]

I love Christmas carols. They are the soundtrack of the season. As great as carols are, it’s possible to make it through the whole month of December, hear these tunes, and yet not tune in to what the carols are really saying. On closer inspection, [...]

Back in 2017 I flew down to Tasmania to interview the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Hobart, Julian Porteous. The Archbishop had been brought before the Anti-Discrimination Board simply for producing a booklet outlining the traditional Christian understanding of marriage. But the real reason I went [...]

On the passing of the Voluntary Assisted Dying bill. The Culture of Death has taken another great stride. The Chronicle of Shame has another tragic addition. The pro-autonomy, “I did it my way”, “every man did what was right in his own eyes” mindset, ignoring [...]

You can’t board an aircraft without going through airport security. Everyone and everything that enters the plane is screened. Your luggage. Your backpack. Even you. Nothing gets through without security’s permission. They’re the gatekeepers. Now airport security is a powerful metaphor for understanding how our [...]

Wherever you look, socialism is sexy again. In the UK this week, Jeremy Corbyn is seeking election as the nation’s Prime Minister on a proudly socialist platform. In the US, socialist Bernie Sanders is making a second run for President, and he has the endorsement [...]

What are we to make of the Israel Folau and Rugby Australia settlement? It appears that they have kissed and made up – sort of. As most folks would have heard by now, the long-running stand-off between star rugby player Israel Folau and Rugby Australia [...]

Welcome to Part 2 of Six Myths Christians Should Stop Believing. Some things Christians believe are quite strange. Like the Queen said to Alice of Wonderland fame, even I sometimes catch myself believing as many as six impossible things before breakfast. As believers inhabiting an [...]

Eight months after Rugby Australia sacked star fullback Israel Folau for expressing his faith on Instagram, the two parties have settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. Many Australians—and people the world over—have watched this story with interest, because of its implications for religious [...]

Another month has passed by, and there is still no sign of the drought-breaking rain that is so very much needed in many parts of Australia. Does this mean that God hasn’t answered our prayers? Of course not! It seems that the answer has been [...]

Should a secular court have the power to decide if Izzy Folau is Christian? That’s what may happen if the Federal government’s proposed Religious Discrimination Bill – to have been tabled in Parliament last week – becomes law [UPDATE: it will be delayed until 2020]. [...]

Both Welcome to Country—said by an indigenous person—and Acknowledgement of Country—which is said by someone who is not indigenous—have become a popular practice in the media, government and even in business. What’s more, Aboriginal smoking ceremonies to ward off evil spirits have become an integral [...]

Increasingly our options are being lessened as more and more companies and businesses push ungodly agendas: I had recently started an article on how Western Christians are to respond to the increased persecution, anti-Christian bigotry, and the ever-darkening times we live in. I had penned [...]

Some things Christians believe are quite strange. Like the Queen said to Alice of Wonderland fame, even I sometimes catch myself believing as many as six impossible things before breakfast. As believers inhabiting an unbelieving culture, we need to check ourselves and make sure we’re [...]
