In a discussion on good versus evil, most of the participants agreed with the host’s motto: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Whilst not disagreeing, the Christian Bible teacher among them reminded the group, “There’s another one before that,” You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all …

Politicians, Leftist and Intellectual Chatterers
According to a recent survey here, the greatest concern for 69% of Australians is the increase of Islamic State atrocities. By comparison, only 37% show any concern about climate change. Rather interesting, I find. When listening to Politicians, Leftist and Intellectual chatterers, one can be forgiven for thinking it’s the other way round. It goes to …

Satan’s Insiders – No Match for Jesus’ Insiders
The preacher told his church that he no longer believed in the biblical account of Noah and the Flood. What’s the big deal? one might ask, given that multitudes of preachers have been saying the same thing since the 1700’s or earlier. The big deal for me was his statement: “It seems even Jesus believed it.” The church is …

Only one Book
“There are lots of books that can change your thinking; there is only one Book that can change your nature – and your eternal destiny.” – John MacArthur. Praise God for books that can change one’s thinking! Were it not for such books I don’t know where I would be today, mentally and physically. Prior to …
Blasphemers of Truth
Said one famous preacher to another famous preacher, “I can say I believe the Bible and make those words mean anything I want them to mean.” True story! How’s that for arrogance! At the time that statement was made both men had churches with large and growing memberships. Thirty-odd years later the man who made the boast lost his …
Billy said, “Jesus said….”
“With everybody trying to tell us what to do, you are to wonder who to know whose word is true.” These words from a Johnny Cash song came to mind recently when listening to men of God on You Tube pulling down another man of God. And I mean men of God, not religious men of the …
Be Absolutely Certain
If you do an Internet search you’ll see various reasons why born-again Christians are hated, but one that I readily identify with is, “Their certainty; they are so certain they’re in possession of the truth.” Well, it’s true, we are. We’re in possession of the truth because Truth possesses us – His name is Jesus! We don’t have to be …
Driven by a Spirit of Wickedness
The online newspaper headline reads, “Let God be a ‘she’, says Church of England women’s group.” First they got their female priests, then they got their female bishops, and now they want their female God! That’s not what they’re saying but that’s what they mean. The Bible’s male language and imagery describing God, doesn’t suit so they want …
Expressing Contempt for the Bible
A transgender member of the Church of England, who was born and baptized female but now identifying as male, approached the local Reverend seeking to be re-baptized. If the report is true, the Reverend thought it a good idea and acted on it. “We created a service, which was an affirmation of baptismal vows where we could …
Religious, not Righteous
In reference to the ‘Yes’ win in Ireland’s same-sex marriage referendum, one man posted on Twitter, a photograph of a rainbow over the city of Dublin with the comment, “There’s a rainbow over Dublin currently. Very appropriate. God clearly approves.” The god of his creation clearly approves; the God of all Creation clearly does not. That rainbow is …
