Christ-less men and woman galore have recently come out of the woodwork here to sneer at and or chastise the Federal Government for daring to consider placing the persecuted Christian people ahead of Muslims when they bring in 12,000 refugees from Europe who fled the Middle East. Whether that’s what will happen or not, it certainly shows up what’s …

Jesus Came to Do Away with Religious Systems
Since coming to office in 2013, Pope Francis has made a few statements that must be classed as anti-biblical. Each time it’s happened, his minders have quickly come to his aid saying he’s been misquoted. They have not come to his aid this time with the following statement however, because they and he believe it …

Political Correctness is the Bastard Child of isms
“Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me.” True with the first part, false with the second part! “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.” Same again – true and false! These old adages may have been effective restraints upon people when written back in the 1860’s, when society’s values …

A Half Gospel Equals No Gospel
Years ago a Christ-rejecting gospel mocker asked me, “If your Jesus and His gospel are all that you claim them to be, why aren’t more people interested?” My response, “My Jesus and His gospel require a person to turn from their evil ways and turn to God.

Uncountable Tyrants Rule the Day
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 …
These Great Documents of the Christian Faith
Recently I spent some hours re-reading, The Westminster Confession of Faith (1643-46), Articles of Religion (Thirty-nine Articles 1571: Church of England), The New Hampshire Baptist Confession (1833), Baptist Faith and Message (1963 version) and The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy (1978).

Let’s See The Power!
It’s reported that an Islamic group here, in Australia are soon to take out a series of national TV commercials to promote Islam. Supposedly they’ll feature several excerpts from the Koran to show that Muslims share similar values to Christians. Apparently it is the same group that erected billboards across the nation, with the message, “Jesus …
God Kills Us Off … He Executes Us!
I recently read an article on guilt, written by a popular leader of a church here in Melbourne. The sub-heading read: For many of us, a church and the symbols of religion merely remind us of where not to venture. A smaller heading within the article: Guilt and Religion have long been bedfellows. It is time to …
Only Two Churches
Sitting with a friend discussing Christianity over dinner recently, he asked me why I was using the phrases, “biblical Christianity” and the “biblical Lord Jesus Christ” when explaining some of my beliefs to him with regards our subject. He said, “I thought all Christian practice was based on the Bible.” If only it was that …
