Nine Reasons the Aboriginal Voice to Parliament is a Dud. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised a referendum next year to include an Indigenous Voice to Parliament in the Australian Constitution. His proposal is unnecessary, discriminatory, divisive, misleading, distracting, hurried, elitist, highly political and little [...]

Every Christian faces a three-fold enemy of the world, the flesh and the Devil. Even though Satan has been defeated by the person and work of Jesus (Luke 10:18; John 12:31; 1 John 3:8), the spiritual battle continues. And while it is impossible for someone [...]

An excellent exegesis of how Scripture speaks to us of the conditions in which revival may flourish, as well as what may impede the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Amongst many conservative Protestants today -- be they Reformed, Evangelical or even Pentecostal [...]

The killing of Republican teen Cayler Ellingson over his political views is a terrible travesty, but the mainstream media seem to be sweeping it under the carpet. When 16-year-old Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann merely smiled at 64-year-old Native American activist Nathan Phillips, who approached [...]

Human governments cannot do what only God’s government can. Every tyrant and dictator wants to be ruler over all peoples, and with no dissent allowed. While the masses may in part go along with their rule, there are always various groups -- ethnic, religious, cultural, [...]

The objective truth of Divine Revelation steers us away from the dangers of postmodern relativism. The late great Sir Roger Scruton once advised that if a person "tells you there are no truths, or that all truth is ‘merely relative’, they are asking you not [...]

Disadvantage needs to be addressed. This is not the way to do it. The Australian government wants to create a new body within the constitution called the "Voice". When I asked if I will be part of it, they replied that it will depend on [...]

Contrary to his original aspirations, Biden is leaning into partisan politics. One of the media’s beloved titles for President Donald Trump was ‘Divider-in-Chief’. Well-deserved at times, the moniker was even used of Trump by his challenger — now successor — President Joe Biden. Indeed, Trump’s [...]

The Uluru Statement from the Heart is a misguided, ideologically-driven attempt at bettering the lot of indigenous Australians. It comprises mere virtue-signalling and will further divide and destabilise Australia. Instead, we need to take concrete steps to truly empower Aboriginal Australians to improve their own [...]

Will banning the swastika really help eliminate antisemitism and fascism? Or will it simply encourage those who subscribe to such hateful views to dig in their heels? Furthermore, what's to stop the government in future from censoring other symbols, which may not currently fit the [...]

Ahead of a recent press conference with Greens leader Adam Bandt, a Greens staffer moved the Australian flag out of the TV camera shot. When asked why, Mr Bandt said Australia had “work to do on racism”, and that the flag was “hurtful” to many [...]

That the West is in a war -- a cultural, ideological and political war -- is well known by anyone with eyes wide open. It has been underway for over a half-century now, and it seems to get worse each passing year. The hatred of [...]

As voting for the 2022 Australian federal election begins, let us pray fervently for the future of our country, that God's will be done and His reign begin in the hearts of men. This is a sequel to my previous piece, Our Kingdom is Not [...]

We need to be able to have logical and reasonably researched debate about current affairs, not descend into ad hominems and simplistic, dismissive one-liners that shut down discussion. I’m okay with acknowledging that I’m a very small fish in a much bigger pond. In part, [...]

During Covid, Christians were quick to obey the government, even when the government stepped beyond its God-appointed limits. Where was our courage? What do the Scriptures say about this? And what can we learn from courageous believers who have gone before us? Christians are called [...]

The ethics of receiving a vaccine for coronavirus are hotly debated, but that does not mean we can allow these disagreements to fracture our church communities. While the Omicron strain impacts our world, differing views of vaccines and vaccine mandates are impacting our churches. Disagreement [...]

Jews are Indigenous to Israel. The boycott of the Sydney Festival by various politically-correct artists over a single Israeli performance in the month-long cultural event is causing division rather than bringing peace. Terrorist organisation Hamas made a statement late last week regarding the Sydney Festival, [...]

Oversimplified narratives and kneejerk reactions are dividing our society. By extending grace to others and taking a breath to consider their perspectives, we can save our communities from increasing polarisation. Our world is fracturing. It’s fracturing across many issues: from politics to race; from climate [...]

Fear reduces our ability to think and act reasonably. Instead of being overwhelmed by anxiety concerning temporal issues, we can find peace amidst uncertainty and challenges by focusing on faith in God's heavenly plan. It’s just after midnight. I rub my sleepy eyes. I need [...]

There was no room at the inn for Jesus. And now that the categories of 'vaccinated' and 'unvaccinated' have been adopted in Australian society, there will be no room at the Christmas table for many this year. Be challenged by this confronting word to both [...]
