Vaccine Passports are increasingly controversial among some Christians. Nonetheless, it is important to consider how we should respond to difficult issues. The Ezekiel Declaration Controversy The recent ‘Ezekiel Declaration’ has garnered almost 3000 signatures from church leaders across Australia. It argues people should not be [...]

In a joint lawsuit filed today, Australian pastors and rabbis take the New South Wales, Victorian and Federal Governments to court to have religious freedoms restored. Is worship essential? That is the question that will be discussed today in the Federal Court of Australia after [...]

Tom Eglinton, an Elder at Smithfield Baptist Church, explains why his church has joined today's landmark Federal Court filing seeking injunction for religious groups to gather for worship like other essential services. We have a God-given responsibility to physically gather for corporate worship and community [...]

The fall of Afghanistan is a real worry indeed: It has happened so quickly. Kabul is fallen. The Taliban have captured the capital of Afghanistan and President Ashraf Ghani has fled the country. The US Embassy there has been successfully evacuated, and some fighting is [...]

Gladys Berejiklian, the Premier of New South Wales, announced at her most recent press conference that the government is working on a “proof of vaccination app”. This will in effect take the place of the current QR Code by supplementing it with an affirmation that [...]

Australia’s beloved foreign affairs journalist Greg Sheridan has written his second book on God and his message is clear: Jesus is still the hope of our world. The way to be the very best at what you do, says The Australian’s Greg Sheridan, is to [...]

Journalism is meant to be objective and neutral, but modern reporting is consistently anti-Christian in its values and presentation. I have a lot to be thankful for when I read Mark Twain, American author and humourist, as he has captured the issues we as Christians [...]

This Christian doctor desperately needs your support: What would you think if you lost your livelihood, your career, your only source of income, all because of the radical cancel culture? How would you feel if you studied hard for years for your chosen professional career, [...]

Jesus might return at any moment. This is a clear teaching of Scripture and one that Jesus’ disciples embraced wholeheartedly. That may seem odd to us, given that almost 2,000 years have passed and the church is still waiting. But we were never promised a [...]

This article can be summarised in three questions: First, how did we as Christians arrive at this state of being in a “culture war”? Second, as the culture has drifted so far from us, what do we have left to us and what do we [...]

“Dismiss anything else…. We will continue to be your single source of truth…. unless you hear it from us it is not the truth.” Thus spoke New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, in a video that has re-emerged for some reason after some 15 months. [...]

It was the great Russian novelist Alexander Solzenitsyn who resolutely warned against this kind of wishful thinking. In Live Not By Lies, Rod Dreher [...]

Vandals have targeted at least 20 Canadian churches in recent weeks, burning five of them to the ground, as a wave of anti-Christian violence sweeps Canada. Most of the churches to suffer damage have been Catholic, and many are located on First Nations land. Attacks [...]

Let me make it perfectly clear from the outset that trying to ‘normalise’ LGBTIQA+ ideology is nothing more than covert destabilisation of mainstream sexuality where a ‘man’ is a male and ‘woman’ is a female. Anything else is mere rhetoric by the so-called ‘progressive’ left [...]

Sir Robert Gordon Menzies (1894-1978) was the founder of the Liberal Party. He remains Australia’s longest-serving Prime Minister and one of our nation’s most articulate statesmen.

Political prisoner Paul Furlong needs our support: Melbourne Pastor Paul Furlong has been released from jail after serving nearly three weeks for the unspeakable crime in Victoria of daring to hold church services. For that he was whisked away by a group of armed police, [...]
