With Parliament resuming this week, Greenwich is tabling a bill to decriminalize [...]

Albert Einstein said, “Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.” Einstein acknowledged his failures as a husband and as a father in moments of candour in his private [...]

Dear friend, as outlined in a previous article, our freedom to believe, to speak of that which we believe – yes, even around the kitchen table – to teach that which we believe, and have it taught in our chosen educational facilities by teachers that [...]

“I believe in miracles!” It was one of the first things our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, said when claiming victory in the recent federal election. Somewhat appropriately, before leading in public prayer at the Hillsong Conference earlier this week, Ps Brian Houston asked him to [...]

Editor's Note: This uplifting news from Stephen Fogarty at the Sydney Morning Herald pinpoints the momentousness of our Prime Minister's public demonstration of faith and prayerful concern for his nation.
