Australia’s Largest Christian News Site

by Chris McCormack, News Weekly Far from being a grassroots-driven, spontaneous protest against climate change, the Extinction Rebellion (XR) is an internationally funded, highly planned organisation that pays its supporters to protest, or more accurately, rebel. And it is determined to overthrow democracy. Paul Homewood’s [...]

Ruth Institute President Dr Jennifer Roback Morse, PhD condemned YouTube’s decision to ban a Daily Signal/Heritage Foundation video with Dr Michelle Cretella, MD over her comment on transgenderism. “The Sexual Revolutionaries running YouTube are cowards. They cannot refute Dr Cretella and the Heritage Foundation. They [...]

Rand Paul’s new book on socialism is a must-read: Today there are far too many Westerners – including politicians, opinion-makers and leaders – who are seemingly oblivious to the historical record concerning socialism. Sadly we have people like Jeremy Corbyn in the UK and Bernie [...]

EDITOR'S NOTE: Jesus said, “The children of this generation are wiser in their own generation than the children of the light.” Brendan O'Neill is not a Christian (hence the swearing), but he makes more sense than most Christian leaders in his analysis of identity politics [...]

Freddie Bentley (described as a British reality TV star and “social media influencer”) says teaching kids about the Second World War could harm their mental well-being. Snowflakes melt in glare of knowledge that there was a global conflict, that ended 74 years ago (in which [...]

It’s an interesting time to be living in America. I’ve just spent the week before last in Washington, DC, where I had the opportunity to attend the Values Voter Summit—one of the biggest annual gatherings of Christians standing for freedom, faith, family and life. The [...]

Ruth Institute Founder and President Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., welcomed the news that the Commission on Unalienable Rights will begin its work with two public meetings, October 23 and November 1, at the State Department in Washington, D.C. “The Commission has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity [...]

All over the West, there is a major assault on religious freedom. It takes many forms, and it is being driven by an aggressive secularism and leftism which will not rest until religion is driven from the public square altogether. And then private expressions of [...]

There’s a big mistake many secular people make about religious discrimination. It’s a mistake I’ve seen repeated many times. Even by (or especially by) educated secular commentators. This mistake is a fairly recent one. But it’s impact is serious: it’s corroding religious freedom in Australia. [...]

Christians have found an unlikely ally in agnostic NSW parliamentarian Mark Latham. Many Australians will remember Mark Latham as the bullish Labor opposition leader seeking to topple John Howard at the 2004 federal election. More than once, Latham has been described by the media as [...]

The big news coming out of America last week isn’t the impeachment proceedings against President Trump. It’s the remarkable speech he gave at the UN General Assembly, which garnered almost no interest from the media either side of the Pacific.

‘There are 2 gunman at the university -- tell your friends on campus’. The text arrives from a friend, who knows I’m often on campus. But I can’t believe it: surely this is spam? So I ring my friend to confirm. Yes, the text is [...]

Are you ever surprised at how prayers are answered? Many years ago, I inherited a lounge suite from my grandmother. However, it was built for a sedate couple, not an energetic family of five children. In a very short period of time, it disintegrated until [...]

There’s a “great untruth” that’s gaining traction in the western world. This ‘great untruth’ is leading to the polarisation of our community. It’s eroding the stability of civil society. And if left unchecked, it could spell the end of our democracy. Speaking of this danger, [...]

By Dr David van Gend Two problems with Scott Morrison’s proposed Religious Discrimination Bill. First, what does it mean for those who make a stand on conscientious, not religious, grounds? Why should our laws protect religious dissenters but not agnostic dissenters? Second, does it effectively [...]

Yet another Christian school being targeted by the rainbow warriors. I was worried there for a while. But then the homosexual activists in Australia told us in no uncertain terms that legalising homosexual marriage would have no negative effects on anyone. They insisted that nothing [...]

As most of you would know by now, a draft bill on religious freedom has been released by the federal government. The week before last, Attorney-General Christian Porter released the draft bill, and already plenty of discussion and debate has ensued. The public is able [...]

Religious freedom is a hot issue in Australia today. Many Christians are concerned about it, and some commentators claim this concern impacted our recent Federal election. Here in the West we’ve had religious freedom for many centuries. Classical western liberalism has formulated a doctrine of [...]

80th ANNIVERSARY OF WWII AND THE POWER OF HE-CAN’T-REALLY-MEAN-IT September 1 marked the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II in Europe with the Nazi invasion of Poland. By the time the dust settled in 1945, between 70 million and 85 million combatants [...]
