An oil painting portraying Christ carrying the cross, with a cartoon face in the style of Looney Tunes, was taken down from an exhibit in Sydney after numerous complaints that it ridiculed Christianity.

Perhaps Donald Trump could be one of the greatest leaders in America’s history, remembered with awe and respect by Democrats and Republicans alike. Let us pray like never before for God’s best for him and for the United States of America. God is able!

Reflecting on the timing of the shooter, the timing of Trump’s turning of his head to the right to read off a graph depicting the rise of illegal immigrants — it is impossible for me to see this as nothing but the hand of God, a veritable miracle.

Christian medical doctor Dr Jereth Kok, suspended from practising medicine over his biblical beliefs on abortion, marriage and gender, reveals God’s provision and guidance amid his struggle to return to the job he loves.

Sub-atomic elements, which are purely energy, make up the atoms that make up the ‘solid’ objects that we see with our eyes and touch with our hands. So, what we see is just energy in a visual form.

We should pray for the nations that we live in. When the enemy wants to bring hatred and division and bloodshed, we can pray for the opposite. Hateful rhetoric needs to be nipped in the bud, on all sides of politics. Please pray for Trump and his full recovery, and please pray for America.

Former President Donald Trump on 15 July named Ohio Senator JD Vance, a Catholic, as his running mate on the Republican ticket in November. Trump was widely expected to name his running mate at the Republican National Convention, which began the same day.

Calling Trump a threat to democracy and freedom, a fascist, a Hitler, a dictator, a danger to society, evil, and so on has been par for the course not just for Biden, but so many Democrat leaders, media outlets, and leftist organisations and outlets.

Religious leaders and the Coalition are urging Anthony Albanese to ignore a report it commissioned into reducing discrimination at faith-based schools, claiming the lead author has contradicted its findings by calling for stronger legal protections for religious institutions.

While I share many people’s concerns about Trump’s character, Christians need to be careful how we think about this assassination attempt. Some may also be disappointed that the bullet merely wounded but didn’t kill him. But such thinking is unbiblical.

The question is not whether Europe’s culture is Christian, but whether or not the West has a culture at all in a world where social norms have been rapidly cast aside, and a world where identity politics centred around issues like race and gender have risen to the fore.

The Puritans themselves sought clear certainty as to God’s truth in its practical bearing, and believed that they had been given it. Their very quest sharpened both their moral sensibilities and their insight into the Bible. May God give us consciences to apply His truth and live by it.

Any believer who is even somewhat biblically literate and is aware of what is happening in the world today will know perfectly well that the Christian life is not a bed of roses, but a struggle. It is in fact a life of battle and warfare, with good and evil being fought out every single day.

The Queensland Government's revised draft bill creates a vilification and sexual harassment minefield, along with new investigative powers and a duty to eliminate discrimination and harassment.

There are times when God draws near in the here and now, coming in great power and as a holy refining fire, bringing hidden things to light while we are alive in this world.

If you spend time on social media, you will come across some of the many videos posted of animals being rescued, especially dogs, and even puppies. And that, of course, is a picture of what God does for us lost sinners – He rescues us and loves us, and makes us a part of His family.

"Lock them up and throw away the key," is the term most people use when referring to prisoners. Imagine if that was God’s tactic towards us when we failed Him, as most of us do. Repentance is the key to salvation — it’s a key that’s made available to everyone, even prisoners.

As our situational awareness can impact the lives and futures of others as well as ourselves, our ability to identify and assess any potential threats, and our ability to take the necessary steps to address them, may diminish the impact of a tragedy.

We desperately need a revival of the fear of the Lord, a recovery of the awe of God, a restoration of reverence. It is a matter of life and death. May the Lord have mercy on His people, may He purify His bride, may He make something beautiful out of us, and may His name be glorified.

God is near to us and close to us. Unlike the teaching of deism, which states that God made the world but has basically left it to run on its own with no involvement from Him, the Bible teaches us that God is wholly present with and ever active in all that He has created.
