Because a great deal of my life had been given to dissipation, ignorance and superstition before I encountered the Lord Jesus Christ, after encountering Him, I made up my mind that I would spend the rest of my life getting to know Him as well as stand for all that He stands for. Until I read the gospels, …

It Is Not Only Rome That Has Its Pope!
After reading a post on this blog of my experiences with a church group, a Christian man sent me an email the other day asking to make contact by telephone. He had been having dealings with two or three people from that church and he mentioned my name and that particular testimony about them. Even though one …
Self-god Is a Tyrant
Working with a group of people recently, I noticed the shaking hands of a young man. Although the opening session included brief introductions all around, my immediate thought was that his shaking was more than one of simply being nervous about sharing when it came his turn to do so. I’d seen such shaking a few …
Different Label – Same Stuff in the Bottle!
On a recent national television program, millions of Australian people including myself, watched and listened to a cult leader in his late 40’s tell us he was Jesus Christ. There’s nothing new in this of course, he’s simply one of many from around the world who pop up from time to time claiming the same …

Misguided Love for Jesus – Misguided Fear of God
Over the years different people have asked me in different ways about the reality and work of Satan the devil and sin. Questions such as, “How come God allowed this to happen in the first place?” Or, “Why didn’t God get rid of Satan when he first sinned so as to prevent it from spreading into the world?” Some have been all …

At the end of the program, I took a call from a …

The Great Harm Done to God’s Reputation
Twenty plus years ago, one of the most common statements made to me by fifteen to seventeen year-old Secondary College students from Christian Schools went something like, “The story of Creation, Adam & Eve, Noah and the flood – they’re all just myths & legends, they’re not literally true … they didn’t literally happen.” I would ask, “Did …
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 …
The Spirit of Cultism Entices People
If it were not for the seriousness of the issue, to me it would be laughable when I hear members of the atheistic, humanistic media asking a cult member or leader, “Are you involved with a cult? Is your organization a cult?” They haven’t a clue what it is they’re asking. If it were otherwise, they would not ask. …
Lovers of Lies
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. Little did I know however, that equally, I would learn in that Book of the …
