Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
It’s over twenty years ago since I first heard these recorded words from an overseas Bible teacher, “God’s truth is held in tension. All the things in the word of God are given to us in balancing factors, always … spirit and truth.” He said, “All truth, you dry up – all spirit, you blow up … spirit …

When forced to choose between the swastika of Nazi Germany and the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ, Adolf Hitler was convinced that German Christians wouldn’t hesitate to betray, “their God.” Speaking of the church leaders, he said, “They will betray their God to us. They will betray anything for the sake of their miserable …

A well known public figure here wrote in her memoirs that she had always looked for meaning in life. On a TV interview recently, she was asked, “Have you found it?” She replied that she didn’t think so and, “I don’t know why but I’m always looking.

Supposedly they’ll feature several excerpts from the Koran to show that Muslims share similar values to Christians.

Apparently research has shown that the health benefits of laughter are far-reaching, strengthening one’s immune system, boosting energy, diminishing pain and giving protection from the damaging effects of stress. More than one person had a stressed out …
I recently read an article on guilt, written by a popular leader of a church here in Melbourne. The sub-heading read: For many of us, a church and the symbols of religion merely remind us of where not to venture. A smaller heading within the article: Guilt and Religion have long been bedfellows. It is time to …
On a recent national television program, millions of Australian people including myself, watched and listened to a cult leader in his late 40’s tell us he was Jesus Christ. There’s nothing new in this of course, he’s simply one of many from around the world who pop up from time to time claiming the same …
