In the past few months, the Christian world has been rocked by the news of some high-profile Church leaders publicly declaring they are no longer believers in the Christian faith. One of them in May this year, is quoted as saying, “After 40 years of being a devout follower, 20 of those being an evangelical …

Encouragement for New Christians
Encouragement for new Christians: Each time you are ridiculed for your stand on the Bible, remember these Scriptures within, embrace them firmly, then smile: For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is …
Observable Evidence the Bible is God’s Inspired Word
What is some observable evidence the Bible is God’s inspired word? Answer: The reactions one receives from most people when one proclaims its Scriptures. For some there will be feelings of discomfort; they’ll change the subject. For others, there will be feelings of anger but they’ll keep it under wraps, dismissing you in the process. Not only will some have feelings …

There’s No Other Road to Happiness and Fulfillment
I was in the company of two unhappy, unfulfilled women recently, one in her late sixties and the other in her early twenties. The older woman hates the Jews, the younger one dishonors her mother. As a result, both women are giving witness to the truth declared in the Bible that they are under a curse. I will bless those who bless you and I …

There’s God-given Authority and there’s Boldness!
The preacher said to his congregation, “Church people don’t believe God anymore so they’ve lost their God-given authority.” When I think of that living and powerful word that God has given the Church; when I look at the command, authority and promises of the word that Jesus gave His disciples and then look at the state of the …

Freemasonry Is An Offense To God!
In the supermarket the other evening, I met up with a Christian sister whom I’d not seen for some months and, as is usually the case after an exchange of greetings, I got to hear of what’s happening in her current church, as well as what’s happening in her former church. In the current church they are, “between …
Zombies in the Pulpits – Zombies in the Pews
Two years prior to becoming a Christian I spent as much time as I could reading about human nature. I found it to be a fascinating experience and I absorbed as many books as I could get my hands on about the subject, both from the library and from second-hand book shops. Old cloth-bound and hard cover books held a greater appeal for me than the …

Praying for The Dead is A Lie
A day or so after the assassination of terrorist bin Laden, a Roman Catholic priest here in Melbourne made headlines by challenging his people to forgive him and pray for him. According to the newspaper the priest said bin Laden was a man who needs all the prayers he can get as he goes before God. “It’s hard …
The Constant One-sided Story
For a few years now, I have found it rather disturbing to hear and read comments made by some Christian people immediately following tragic events happening around the world. Drought, famine, fire, floods, tornadoes, cyclones, earthquakes, political and economic upheaval, war … whether it is factual or not, all of them do seem to be happening at an exponential level …
It runs in the family
It was not uncommon for me to encounter one family who were plagued by violence, depression, alcohol or drug abuse. Usually the problem arose because of the habits of one member. Rich or poor, young or old, male or female, educated or uneducated, it made no difference – the effects upon that family were extremely disturbing for them at the least and devastating for them …
