An important new resource on the threat of transhumanism. Nearly a century ago, Aldous Huxley penned his chilling and prophetic Brave New World. In this dystopian novel, he mapped out a future in which science and technology, instead of greatly helping mankind, became the undoing [...]

Just how should believers live in times of crisis? Do we forsake the search for knowledge that we pursue in peacetime? How we live in peacetime is often quite different from how we live in wartime. How people were living in Ukraine a few years [...]

How are Christians to understand their relationship with the world? Should Christians have utterly nothing to do with the world, renounce the world, and despise the world? Or should Christians find some good in the world, seek to redeem the world, and try to transform [...]

We must be aware of the cultural mandate from the beginning of Creation and how it impacts our faith. We are charged with the grace not just for the renewal of our souls, but the redemption of all Creation. Very early on in the book [...]

In a recent video, renowned psychologist and thinker Jordan B. Peterson made a scathing critique of the Church. He challenged churches to invite young men back -- to make church a place where they are welcome. Here are my thoughts on several of Peterson’s points. [...]

We all have a long way to go in our Christian journey. But if we rely fully on God's grace, we will get there. Let us learn from the mistakes of others, and strive not to repeat them. Christians know what my title refers to [...]

Where are the prophets among us? We are called to speak God's truth to the people we encounter in our lives. If we, the Body of Christ, are silent, who will speak to them? They need our prophetic witness. What follows might sound quite strange [...]

In praise of Christian misfits. Following Christ naturally means being at odds with the world around us. Embrace your peculiarity; never be ashamed of being a fool for God. Maladjusted Christians? Yes, in the eyes of the world this will always be the case. And [...]

Human beings are not self-referential creatures. We have an innate desire for something transcendent, a reference point beyond ourselves. We are made for God. ‘Your days are numbered, Maverick. Your kind is heading for extinction.’ So said a US Admiral (played by actor Ed Harris) [...]

Although the action around abortion may seem to be mainly found in politics and through civil (or uncivil) discourse, there is a very real spiritual battle taking place. Souls, human lives are at stake, and our ancient enemy is ever on the prowl. This is [...]

You will never be truly happy unless you do things God’s way. The divine economy is not of this world -- in fact, it is often paradoxical and quite the opposite of what is "common sense" on this mortal plane. Happiness and peace are not [...]

Christians face an increasingly hostile culture. Several recent events in the world of politics drove this reality home to me. And it’s a hard reality. As I grappled with the disappointments, I had to once again ask the question, why? Why do we do what [...]

It can be tempting to lose yourself in the busy work of ministry. However, pause and consider: are you letting God conform you to the image of Christ? This is the most important goal. In Romans 8:29, we read these words from the Apostle Paul: [...]

The resurrection event changed human history forever, giving us the firm hope of redemption and everlasting life. We still face death and suffering in our fallen world, but our sorrows and grief will not last -- they will be replaced by joy and rejoicing. Many [...]

C.S. Lewis penned one of the great discussions of what love means. As Good Friday approaches, the day on which God demonstrated His great love for us, let us examine the various forms of love. Everyone talks about love, but very few really know what [...]

Natural disasters remind us that we live in a fallen world, and that we are not in complete control of our lives or our environment. We can accept them as a call to repentance and prayer, trusting in God to provide for us as we [...]

We must repudiate the new religion of safeism. Christ promised us that as Christians, we will be persecuted, just as He was. Through our suffering, God moulds us into the image and likeness of His Son, that we may one day join Him in glory. [...]

A former atheist from China reflects on how post-Christian Australians have a similar mentality to her former comrades, not appreciating the great gift of faith in Christ which is their inheritance. When I was on parenting leave, our family of three went to live for [...]

A young woman from China, raised an atheist, shares her testimony of how she came to know God through faith and reason, a process that helps her minister to Australian youths today. This is the story of how I came to find my identity in [...]

The life and ministry of Alister McGrath, scientist and theologian, is a fascinating and inspiring one. His new book details his conversion from atheist Marxism to Christianity, through the influence of Christian scientists at Oxford, reading prominent science philosophers who acknowledge the limits of empirical [...]
