A young lady was brutally raped and murdered in our town recently, sending shock-waves throughout the entire nation. A week later over twenty thousand people gathered for a peace march in her memory in the street where she went missing. As a proclaimer of the gospel of Jesus Christ, I couldn’t help but note how biblical the …

They Will Cower in Their Pulpits and Pews
The other day I heard a radio gospel preacher tell his audience that Christians don’t really care about God. He said they like to go to church, they like to sing and listen to the music, they like to listen to the sermons, they like to sometimes read their Bibles, but still, “they don’t care about God.” …

It Bowed To Jesus Big-time!
A Government Senator, on a questions and answers TV program was asked if he believed in God. He didn’t. He doesn’t think it matters. He believes people ought to live their lives according to their own values and treat others, “the way you want to be treated and live by those values and if there’s a God then they will work …
How’s That For Discrimination!
The Prime Minister pulled out of an upcoming speaking engagement at the Australian Christian Lobby’s national conference after learning of some comments made by its leader during a debate on same-sex marriage. She said his comments were “offensive” and therefore it would be “inappropriate” for her to attend. The ACL leader says she acted hastily in response to “inaccurate …
A Lacking Ingredient in the Church
One pastor told his people recently, “Jesus is no longer in the church. He left it years ago and will not return unless there is a genuine repentance and the people truly make Him Lord of their lives.” He was an American pastor, referring to his own nation, but he could have said the same about my nation Australia, …
Who Is This Woman Claiming To Be The Blessed Virgin Mary?
I learned recently of a man who’d been trapped in a cult for sixteen years. The cult leader was a woman, who had so bewitched her group that they believed it without question when she told them she was God; not just a messenger of God or, not just God’s right hand man woman, but God Himself …

God Is Intolerant Of Your Tolerance
Lately I’ve been giving serious thought to the first two Commandments of God, And God spoke all these words, saying: I am the LORD your God……You shall have no other gods before Me……you shall not bow down to them nor serve them…. Exodus 20:1-5. Dwelling on those commandments causes me to give serious thought to those …
Now That’s Power!
The pastor told a few men in his church that if they wanted the power of God, the quickest way to get it was to undertake a six week fast, which is what he once did. The men were impressed; in his ministry they saw he had the power. As well as being an excellent expository preacher and teacher, he regularly …
Self-righteousness Is Not Righteousness
A well known entertainer was asked about his faith in God and whilst he spoke about Jesus as Lord and Redeemer, when asked if he was going to heaven, his reply was, “I hope so.” Given that he sometimes sang about God and that he was of the Protestant persuasion rather than Roman Catholic, I was surprised to hear …
The Despised Experience
Because a great deal of my life had been given to dissipation, ignorance and superstition before I encountered the Lord Jesus Christ, after encountering Him, I made up my mind that I would spend the rest of my life getting to know Him as well as stand for all that He stands for. Until I read the gospels, …
