Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
“No fear of God! That’s the problem with the church today, brother.” So said the church man to me about 30 years ago. He expressed the word fear in the context of Christians giving little thought to the possibility of God’s judgment coming upon them for their on-going, non-confessed sinful attitudes and behavior, now that they’re, “in the Lord.” …

Recently a newly born-again Christian shared with me his delight at discovering a couple of preachers on the Internet. “They make the word of God come alive,” he said. Sadly though, when he mentioned this to a few people in his local church who he thought were Bible Christians, their responses left him feeling dispirited. “Welcome to the …
Here in Melbourne, Australia, home invasions, car hijackings, armed robberies plus riots at public events are almost daily occurrences it seems. They are certainly every-weekend occurrences and the powers that be are powerless to stop them. And although the politically correct among the powers seem super reluctant to identify the nationalities of the culprits, very rare but courageous members of …
“It’s one thing to see the sin in your sin but it’s something else to see the sin in your self-righteousness.” – John MacArthur. “Amen,” is my response to his statement. Unless I see the sin in my self-righteousness I should not expect to be a very effective witness for the Lord Jesus to the unbelieving world. …
In reference to the rise of anti-Semitism across the globe, the concerned man of God said to his YouTube audience, “Time to step up for righteousness. Too many Christians have lost their discernment.” Whilst that’s true, perhaps it’s just as accurate to say too many Christians have not as yet had any discernment to lose! Like the Hebrew …
White House Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon said of the Corporatist, globalist, anti-Trump media, “If you think they’re going to give you your country back without a fight you are sadly mistaken. Every day it is going to be a fight.” He’s not wrong! This truth and liberty-hating crowd will take no prisoners in the Trump Administration. This …
Referring to misguided religious people trying to earn their way to heaven, John MacArthur says, “They think God is less righteous than He is and they think they are more righteous than they are.” What a statement! It fits perfectly with the misguided religious people I’ve encountered of which there have been literally hundreds in nearly thirty-two years since becoming a …
If you say to the average Christian, “The devil knows his time is short,” they’ll nod their head and agree. Some won’t be able to tell you exactly where it says that in Scripture, but they will agree nevertheless. But then if you should ask them what does that mean for them and the church in general, I …
On social media last week a fellow Christian said he’d come to the conclusion “…..if you are a liberal Christian you are not a fully converted Christian……..” Based on my years of gospel proclamation, perhaps a Liberal Christian is not converted at all. Human reasoning seems to be their approach to things biblical, not divine revelation. The late H. Richard Niebuhr summed …
Years ago it was not uncommon for us to hear a Korean or Vietnam War veteran say, “We won the battle but lost the war.” On the Internet recently I heard a Christian minister saying similar, “As Christians we’re good at winning battles, we’re just not good at winning wars.” There’s a valid excuse for the war veterans. Both wars …
