“Roger, not everyone believes in your god. Why do others have to live by what you believe?” I was asked this on “social” media two weeks ago in reference to my standing against same-sex marriage, which the nation is soon to vote on through a postal plebiscite. Not all who questioned or commented were as polite, …

God-sent Strong Delusion
A 30’s something 5′ 9″ white male interviewed individually some US University students about how they view identity in America. His questions to each: “If I told you I was a woman ….. a Chinese woman….. a 7 year old…. 6′ 5″ tall, what would your response be?” For someone brought up in an era when mental …
Keep Trampling!
Said the seventy disciples of Jesus to Jesus upon their return from ministry, Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name Luke 10:17. When was the last time you heard your church leaders tell you demons are subject to you in Jesus name? Better still, when was the last time you actively confirmed that …
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. Most of them are like you, they won’t do that.” …

Three years ago I was in prayer with the Lord agonizing over a decision, knowing that if I was to follow through on it, it would sever all relationships with some of my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. Sometimes when agonizing I talk too much and so to quieten me or grab my attention God has to break in. …

I suppose the number of church-affiliated people who told me that they believed in God, in comparison to the non-church-affiliated who said they did not, could have been as high as ninety-five percent. That figure is purely a guess on my part. In any case, I was quick to learn that it did not really matter. Of those ninety-five percent …
Just about everybody was an expert
In the three and a half years I ministered as a public messenger of the Christian gospel, it seemed that just about everybody was an expert when it came to the Bible. To the clever and the sophisticated, it was a book of out-dated ancient literature used by the religious, the political or otherwise, to control …
Because I feel dirty
Sometimes when I door-knocked a person’s home it was as though he or she was expecting me to call and as a result I was often immediately invited inside. Gordon did this one morning and no sooner had he done so, when his partner Jill asked, “How much do you people charge for somebody to …
He spoke of his doubts in Christ’s forgiveness
The church fellowship I was associated with during the time of my street ministry very quickly developed a reputation for it’s sound Biblical teaching and workings of God in the community. As a result, Christians from other churches became regular visitors. Many such visitors then became committed members, whilst others, although not as committed, nevertheless were regular attendees among us. One …
