It was the speech that got all of America talking. What did Harrison Butker say? And why did it infuriate all the right people?

This article is not meant to provoke or insult or demean or antagonise or gaslight. Instead, it is meant to help readers understand why I continue to say that the “NAR” of the critics does not exist.

My story is about forgiveness. To me, forgiving others is the hardest thing any person can do. I want to share with you a couple of stories from my own experiences.

'Glory' refers to God's presence made visible or manifest. May we all be carriers of Christ’s glory!

Prayer is fundamental to sharing the good news. By centralising prayer, we acknowledge that only God can save lives – not us.

One of the greatest global battlefields over religious freedom occurs in Christian churches, schools, and hospitals, with targeted attacks on Christian institutions rising sevenfold in the last 12 months. This is our moment to say ‘no more’ to persecution happening within our own backyard.

When people realise that they are not strong enough or good enough or talented enough or moral enough, and they simply cry out to God in despair, that is a very good place to be in. It is a deep biblical truth and a vitally important principle that God works through our weaknesses.

It’s one thing for pastors and Christian leaders to educate their constituencies about candidates and issues. This is very important to do during election seasons. But it is so important that we don’t hitch our wagons to political leaders, lest their misbehaviour tarnishes our reputations.

The hallmarks of true revival are people who have radically encountered the love of God and been transformed by it. May we deeply know God’s love and believe it for others.

Releasing in theatres on 30 May, "Unsung Hero" is a refreshingly clean, compelling and drama-filled true-life film about resilience, family and faith. It also happens to be a thoroughly Australian story.

God designed pleasure this way to point us to a greater pleasure: knowing and enjoying Jesus Christ. Unlike worldly pleasures, the delight of knowing Jesus Christ never ends.

More than 7,000 men, women and children from all religions and all walks of life rallied together to give confidence to our Jewish friends. Hundreds of placards beamed through the rain with the words, "Stop the Hate, Mate." Never again is now!

Paganism, Harrison states, isn’t just a fringe supporter; it is “absolutely fundamental to the climate change movement’s worldview.” This is idolatrous Gaianism, and it “makes climate change a religion.” The “ecocentric spiritual” belief that the Earth is all.

The livestream portal between New York City and Dublin demonstrates why we cannot have nice things. The portal — which, let’s face it, is really just two giant webcams set up 5,111km from each other — was operating less than a week before people’s behaviour deteriorated.

As we make the most of every opportunity, we can rejoice that we all have a part to play in God’s great mission to the world.

The West has witnessed a flood of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish and pro-Hamas protests. That is why I and many thousands of other concerned and committed Melbournians rallied outside of the Victorian Parliament in Melbourne on Sunday, to speak up against anti-Semitism.

The times that we are living in, this season, we are in a Jonah season. For those who have packed their bags and are waiting to be raptured, it is not that time. God has much to do yet... God had another plan. His plan was to save Nineveh.

At the event, there was no shortage of admiration for Billy Graham, as each speaker described him as a servant of Jesus Christ, a faithful minister who shared the good news of salvation, and a man who stood for unity.

It is an uncompromising “Yes” to Jesus that sets us apart. Following Him has to look like something. Our lives should look different.
