Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
For the past couple of years or so, I’ve been noting comments made by the same few people on one particular “social” media forum who say they don’t believe in God and religion. When a new discussion thread comes up about either one, they can always be relied upon to turn up like clockwork and express an opinion. Sadly …

The Bible teacher told his class,“If you don’t love the Bible you don’t love truth and if you don’t love truth, you don’t love Jesus.” I agree, Christians love to talk about love, but the test of its authenticity can be pointed back to one’s attitude towards the Bible. The one who loves the Bible agrees with every word written within, even when …
A few days ago the Australian people voted their national government out of office. Elected in 2008, it has been considered by many on both sides of the political spectrum to be the worst government the nation has ever had. ‘Inept’ ‘bungling’ ‘wasteful’ ‘careless’ ‘irresponsible’ ‘selfish’ ‘foolish’ ‘incompetent’ ‘useless’ – these are just some of the …
The leader of our nation (until last Saturday) who says he is a Christian, told his audience on national television earlier in the week that the fundamental principle of the New Testament is, “one of universal love – loving your fellow man.” He said this in response to a pastor’s question on why He had “chopped …
The mother of a twelve year old girl sexually abused by a seventy-nine year old clergyman in January of this year has refused to accept his apology and request for forgiveness. She said his letter to the family, in which he asked for forgiveness, was “puerile and self-serving.” The Crown prosecutor told the Court the man displayed a lack of remorse …
As a matter of curiosity, I checked out the website of a church in my community the other day and was amazed to discover that since its inception sixty-six years ago it has had twenty-three pastors. That averages out at one pastor every 2.86 years! Four pastors look to have been there for four years, …

I’ve been thinking about the chief of all sins of late. It is the rejection of Jesus Christ – unbelief. Not rejection of Him by those in the unbelieving world, but rather, by those in the church. The greatest sin we have in the church today is unbelief. For surely this is happening when men and women within …
Comments from Hal Lindsey (article here) struck a chord with me this week: “I believe, too, that the justification for the prosecution of individual Christians will be our refusal to follow the dictates of political correctness……..Satan’s real goal is to convince men that there are MANY roads to heaven. So, if he can make us unwilling …

A young man once told me he believed the gospel of Jesus Christ to be true. When asking if he wanted to take advantage of it by surrendering his life to the Lord he declined saying, “It would mean I have to change my life.” After listening to responses containing all sorts of objections, justifications and excuses, his response was, in …
The following comment grabbed my attention the other day, “The trouble is men are not willing to let the Scriptures say what they want to say. This is largely due to their training, environment, prejudice or desire to make the Scriptures teach some favorite doctrine.” Clarence Larkin (1850-1924). It was in reference to his day …
