You can be absolutely certain that if you are doing something right, something worthwhile, something true, and something vital for Christ and the Kingdom, that you

Yes, Leftist Totalitarianism Is Upon Us

Jan 10, 2021

This war is real – and getting worse:

A Review of Live Not By Lies. By Rod Dreher.

Dec 30, 2020

Sentinel, 2020.

We all need to read Dreher’s important new book:

“Open war is upon you whether you would risk it or not.” Some of you may recall that line of Aragorn to Theoden in Tolkien’s The Two Towers.

Are we now in the end times Scripture speaks about?

Just a few days ago I was asked if I thought we were living in the last days. I get asked this quite often. I replied as I usually do

The militants seeking to destroy Lyle Shelton are coming after all of us:

One hates to do it, and one hates to sound like a broken record, but really, I told you so! Indeed, a number of us tried to

Pretending we are not in all-out warfare helps no one:

When most Christians are enjoying the good life on a cruise ship instead of enduring the hardships of a battleship in the midst of blistering warfare, it is hard to

Yes there are those who are at enmity with God:

Some of you might be asking: ‘What, enemies of God? God has enemies? But I thought he loved everybody, so he cannot have enemies. At least he cannot regard anyone

God, Culture Wars and Persecution

Nov 29, 2020

Victoria Tells Those Seeking Help: “Let Them Rot!”

Nov 26, 2020

A deplorable new bill put forward by the Andrews’ government will result in stiff fines and jail time for Christians:

Real love always discriminates between right and wrong, good and evil:

Plenty of Christians love to talk about love – and rightly so. It is a major attribute of God and is a major fruit of the Spirit, to be

Christianity in the Crosshairs

Jul 14, 2020

The endgame for the militant left is the destruction of Christianity:

Those who hate the West and want to see its downfall also tend to hate Christianity and seek its demise as well. That is because Western Civilisation is in

They Are Out To Get Us – And We Are Letting Them Do It

Jun 24, 2020

War has been declared on everything we value. How will you respond?

Make no mistake: the secular left hates Christianity and it hates Christians. Their hatred of the West is fuelled by their hatred of what is the basis of

The Cancel Culture: Crucify Him Again

Jun 23, 2020

Dictators and Death: The Biblical Response

Apr 28, 2020
