Death by Suicide Grieves the Heart of God

If online reports are accurate, suicide is the leading cause of death among Australians aged 15 to 44 years. Two or three decades ago this was not the case, so why the change now? One answer today: it was in the 1970’s when the denial of God and all things biblical got a firm foothold …

 When a Person Walks into a Church for the First Time  

“I have attended a few church services in times past,” the lady said. “But I can’t say that I felt any the better for having done so.” There could be a variety of ways to interpret such a comment. A Holy Spirit-anointed preaching of God’s word may have brought a powerful but unmistakable Holy Spirit-conviction …

Reverence and Respect for God is the Foundation of Wisdom

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all those who do His commandments…… Psalm 111:10. For a believer, the word “fear” means: ‘reverence for God; respect for His law and His will.’ Such reverence and respect is the foundation of wisdom. Those who fear God fear nothing else. …

So What was it Jesus Demonstrated?

Quote: “The world is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity; it is waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity.”- Leonard Ravenhill. I’m not sure when he made that statement but it was at least 24 years ago, for it was November 1994 when his eternal soul departed from his body. Sad it is, …

Limit God to the Bible and Discover the Unlimited God

“I love God as much as you do,” said the religious man. “It’s just that I don’t limit God to the Bible like you do.” When informing him that God has nothing to say to us outside of the Bible, he said, “That’s enough! I don’t want to hear any more.” True, Psalm 19:1 tells …

The God-sent Moment of Truth

All hell broke loose during April this year when a well-known Christian International Rugby Union player here in Australia was asked by someone on “Social” Media, “What was God’s plan for gays?” His reply, “HELL, unless they repent of their sins and turn to God.” As can be imagined, he won himself few friends with that …

Dead Men Walking

Increasingly of late I’m noticing expressions of exasperation from fellow Christians with regards corrupt and perverted ideologies and practices eating away like cancers in Western Society. “Don’t these people get it?” That’s the cry from among some. Answer: No, they don’t “get it.” If they “got it” it would not be happening. As Christians, we must come …

If It Were Not for the Bible

Non-believer’s question: Why do you insist on quoting the Bible when you speak about Jesus Christ? Answer: The Bible is the inspired word of God. Answer: I speak for the Lord Jesus Christ, not for myself. Answer: Non-believing man is a dead man walking, spiritually speaking; dead in trespasses and sins. Answer: The Bible is being increasingly compromised by …

Eleven Precious Words of Scripture

“The gospel of salvation never changes,” says the preacher. “Amen,” says the church. But, if recent USA surveys are correct, it seems the gospel of salvation has indeed changed. Apparently the majority of Protestant people there no longer believe they are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. They have sided with …

The Garden’s Serpent

Pope Francis was recently reported as saying there is no hell. It’s a bogus, or “fake news” report as far as I can tell. However, it’s out there now and that is all most people need to confirm their own thoughts about the matter. Like all bogus reporting, the damage is done. Coupled with his statement …
