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 …

Dead Men Walking
Increasingly of late I’m noticing expressions of exasperation from fellow Christians with regards corrupt and perverted ideologies and practices eating away like cancers in Western Society. “Don’t these people get it?” That’s the cry from among some. Answer: No, they don’t “get it.” If they “got it” it would not be happening. As Christians, we must come …
The Word of God is Living and Powerful
How about this for a warning from a well-known, highly respected Melbourne journalist: “CHRISTIANS, prepare for persecution. Open your eyes and choose stronger leaders for the dark days.” That’s the language of a Christian man with a prophetic ministry. But in this case it’s not so, for he says, “I am not a Christian, but …
The Book of Proverbs
“Every one, though born of God in an instant, yet undoubtedly grows by slow degrees.” – John Wesley. Amen! I pray this statement encourages Christians among us who feel they’ve taken one step forward in God and three steps back. We can all feel that way; the devil will make sure of it! It won’t feel like …
We Who Have the Mind of Christ
All glory to God! Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus Philippians 2:5. How gracious of God Almighty that He should grant His redeemed ones the mind of the Lord. Whenever I’m asked to give the difference between what it is Bible Christians believe verses those of other religious people, my response …
Denying the Lord Who Bought Them
Imagine standing face to face before the Lord Jesus Christ and being told, I never knew you Matthew 7:23. To me, discovering that reality would be more devastating than the command following it, depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness. It is said, I never knew you means, “I never approved of you.” Either way, praise God, for He is not referring …
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 …

Satan’s Man
For some months now during my early morning quiet time with the Lord, two new prayers are being brought before Him. One: that I be filled with the Holy Spirit for the hour of persecution. Two: that I be fully immersed or saturated in the Scriptures. I don’t know how bad things will get for us here …
Mouth-muzzled Wimps
Bible Christians speaking up for God don’t go too many days without someone challenging them on His existence. “What proof?” they ask. “Where is He?” they ask. “I see no evidence of God,” they say. Some people are mildly curious, but most are not; they’re simply smoke-screening. The same applies to the sneering, the cynical and the silly among them who take delight in speaking …
This is No Time to be Bounced like Yo-Yo’s
Social media sites give clear indication that Christians have not lost their fondness for slogans and quotations. Preachers love them; few there are who don’t use them in their sermons. I too am fond of them, but not at the expense of the Scriptures. No matter how clever, how profound, or how inspiring they can be, none will ever be …
