Testimonies to the practical reality, revelations and power of Jesus Christ
A cartoon doing the rounds on “social” media recently depicts a disheveled down-and-out man in a prison cell kneeling at the bars; one hand on a bar, the other hand holding a stick to draw a loaf of bread towards himself from outside the bars. Next to the loaf of bread lay a key to …

A fellow Christian and I were discussing the coronavirus chaos recently. He said he was trying to figure out how much of the mainstream media reporting on it was true, how much was half true and how much was far from true. “It’s so difficult to know who to believe,” he said. “I don’t know …
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 …

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.

During the summer of 2009, a pastor of a Pentecostal fellowship in my city of Melbourne, Australia, came under attack from both the wider church community and the media for saying that the horrendous bush-fires which took place that summer, were as a result of God’s judgement upon the nation and, particularly upon the state of Victoria, which had recently
