Sri Lanka, Christchurch, Islam and Double Standards

Apr 22, 2019

Here is something you can bank on: most Western media personnel, politicians, and commentators will overwhelmingly have one standard for Muslims and another for Christians – both in terms of what they do and what is done to them. The

Sri Lanka, Jihadist Massacres, and Western Denial

Apr 21, 2019

By now you should have heard about the deadly Islamic attacks on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka. Mind you, the mainstream media coverage was once again rather thin, but nonetheless the Easter Sunday attacks were some of the worst

Easter and the Nations: ‘He Shall Put Everything Under His Feet’

Apr 21, 2019

We rightly celebrate Easter this time of year as we think of the wonderful exchange that took place at Calvary: our sins and impurity for his forgiveness and righteousness. New life in Christ is at the heart of the Easter

Cathedrals, Catholics, and Christianity

Apr 17, 2019

The destruction of an 850-year-old cathedral in Paris has resulted in a number of questions being raised. Some of them I have explored in my two earlier pieces on the Notre Dame fire. With so many churches in Europe being

Notre Dame and the Death of Europe

Apr 16, 2019

A magnificent cathedral in Paris that stood for over 800 years, and even survived the Second World War, is now basically no more – consumed by flames. As the news breaks, we do know what a devastating loss this has

Folau and the Fallout

Apr 15, 2019

On Thursday all hell broke loose (no pun intended) when star rugby player Israel Folau said that hell is real and unrepentant sinners end up there. By simply quoting from Scripture all the usual suspects came out to attack him

Outspoken Christians Will Not Be Tolerated

Apr 11, 2019

Well, that didn’t take long. For daring to share some Scripture passages on his own social media page, Australian rugby star Israel Folau has been given the boot – all in the name of tolerance and inclusion of course. As

Israel Folau, the Apostle Paul, and the Gospel

Apr 11, 2019

So what does the Australian Rugby star and the great apostle of 2000 years ago have in common? Both are followers of Jesus Christ and both take their faith seriously. And they take sin seriously, speaking out on it when

On the Ominous US “Equality Act”

Apr 1, 2019

Often the most diabolical things are dressed up with the most pleasant-sounding words and packaging. Consider new “equality” legislation currently being pushed in the US Congress. Ah, equality – who doesn’t love and value equality? Isn’t that as American as

Transtopia: You WILL Deny Reality, Or Face the Consequences

Mar 30, 2019

We now live in such dark and diabolical times that we have to seriously ask ourselves if even authors like Orwell and Huxley would be shocked at what is now happening in our culture. As prescient and prophetic as Nineteen

Defending Faith in an Anti-Faith Age

Feb 25, 2019

OK, I admit it: my title is actually somewhat inaccurate. You see, it depends on what one means by the word “faith”. If we use the term in a more general sense of having a commitment, or a mental adherence,

Victorian Nero Declares War on Christianity

Feb 4, 2019

History repeats itself, which is why we all need to be students of history. And when we ignore or forget the lessons of history, we simply end up repeating the mistakes of history. Consider the increased paganisation of the West

The Leftist Disease of Double Standards

Jan 24, 2019

What was that word again? You know the one: it starts with “h” and ends with “ypocrisy”. If there was any one term that perfectly describes the left, it would be this one. How many times have I pointed out

Nashville, Holland and Christian Persecution

Jan 14, 2019

One might think that the land of country music and the Grand Ole Opry has little to do with the land of Erasmus and Rembrandt. But there is in fact a connection, and even I have a bit of a

The Battle for Religious Freedom in Australia

Dec 17, 2018

Plenty of ink has already been spilled on the government response to the recently-released Ruddock report on religious freedom, but let me present a few more words on it. First, I will offer a number of brief considerations, and then

The War Against “Conversion Therapy”

Dec 11, 2018

The endgame of the militant homosexual lobby has always been this: the complete and final elimination of any and all opposition and criticism. Not only that, but the compulsory promotion and celebration of this lifestyle has also been actively sought

The Assault on Christianity: War Within and War Without

Dec 5, 2018

Things are getting worse by the day for the church in the West. Yes, much good is still happening, and many strong churches still exist. But most honest and discerning observers would see that overall the church is in a
