Some weeks after I had submitted myself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, my family and I visited a Roman Catholic family. We had been invited to lunch in celebration of one of their children who had that morning made his first communion, a rather auspicious occasion in the eyes of Roman Catholic people. This particular family are very religious, being proud of the …

They are Upside Down Christians
Even though it has been twenty-five years since I first personally encountered the reality of the Lord Jesus Christ, I have never in all that time ceased to be fascinated at the level of degrees He has gone to in getting me to accept His truth about the freedom and liberty that now belongs to me as a result …
They Were made God-dependent not Man-dependent
Due only to the mercy and love of God, I have never forgotten the warning words in a pastor’s sermon spoken many years ago, “most Christians are happy to settle for a word of God, rather than THE word.” It was a sermon in relation to Jesus’ numerous gospel warnings for His people to take heed – …

Spiritual Cowards
A church-going lady once told me she was unhappy in her marriage and was praying to God, asking Him if it was alright for her to have an affair. A church-going man in his mid-thirties told me he hated his stepmother so much that he was praying to God for disaster or death to strike her. Another …
His Distaste for the Complicated and the Sophisticated
There are a multitude of reasons as to why I find the Lord Jesus Christ to be the most fascinating Person ever to enter the human race, not the least of these being His distaste for the complicated and the sophisticated. Jesus’ lack of regard for man’s worldly-wise, complex, intricate belief systems and processes was …

God is Explicit, Particular and Definite in His Instructions to Us
A few years ago I was in a business meeting with my radio colleagues and at some point the word “prayer” was briefly mentioned by someone. As far as I know I was the only believer among them, but the person who spoke the word gave the impression that prayer might be a good idea, given the problems (especially financial) …

The Spirit of Cultism Entices People
If it were not for the seriousness of the issue, to me it would be laughable when I hear members of the atheistic, humanistic media asking a cult member or leader, “Are you involved with a cult? Is your organization a cult?” They haven’t a clue what it is they’re asking. If it were otherwise, they would not ask. …
Lovers of Lies
When I decided to become a serious student of the Bible, I had already accepted the fact that it was God’s Word to mankind and, that it was to be in this Book alone that I would learn of the true nature and character of God. Little did I know however, that equally, I would learn in that Book of the …
Why Are the People not Told This?
Recently on television, I viewed a news item about a forthcoming canonization into sainthood of a nun who lived here in Australia from the mid-1800’s to the early 1900’s. In October, she will be the first such person to be canonized in this nation and therefore, a level of great interest is being shown, not only by members of the …
What Makes us any Different from An Atheist?
A well known British former atheist, now born-again Christian, gave an interview on television recently and in answer to a question, he described today’s atheists as, “self-satisfied, arrogant, intolerant, completely resistant to any kind of outside argument and contemptuous of it.” A casual glance in the numerous Internet forums proves him to be 100% accurate with his …
