These two terms sound very similar, don’t they? Nothing could be further from the truth. Today I would like to explore their differences, as well as the danger of one and the importance of the other. Critical Theory Critical theory (CT) can be traced back [...]

The NT parliament is currently considering amending the Anti-Discrimination Act so as to end an existing provision that allows “religious educational institutions to discriminate against staff based on their sexuality”.

Taught as Truth Atheistic evolution is taught as truth in the majority of schools in Australia today. How might this indoctrination of our children impact the future of Australia and our way of life? In the Word of God we read, "So God created man [...]

A couple years back during that infamous postal vote, 62% of Australians who responded (equivalent to just under half of all those eligible to vote) indicated they were in favour of legalising same-sex marriage. During the debate, many warned that if marriage was redefined, a [...]
