Notable Christians: John G. Paton

Jun 10, 2018

Early on in my days of being a new Christian I learned of how important and how inspiring it is to read the stories of great Christians. These stories spoil you for life, and give you a restlessness for the

More on Phillips, SCOTUS and Religious Freedom

Jun 6, 2018

Yesterday I wrote about the victory of Colorado cake-maker Jack Phillips. While I still stand with that piece, the only thing I regret was the title I ran with – in haste. I had to dash out, so I quickly

A Massive Win for Religious Freedom

Jun 5, 2018

There is some great news for a change coming out of America at the moment. A court case concerning religious freedom has actually gone the way of conscientious Christians over against militant homosexual activists. While this ruling has not resolved

Leftism, the Pink Mafia and Double Standards

Apr 27, 2018

Imagine if an 18-year-old lesbian was fired from a Christian small business simply because she posted on her own private Facebook page that she thinks homosexual marriage is the way to go. All hell would break loose. The media would

RIP the West?

Apr 21, 2018

I have used the phrase “the death of the West” or something like it plenty of times now. And for good reason: the West has been in deep decline for decades now, and one wonders if this is reversible. It

The Gayification of Everything

Mar 24, 2018

The militant homosexual lobby has been on a search and destroy mission for decades now. And it has recently been joined by its twisted sister, the radical gender bender lobby. Everything is in their sights, and no stone is to

Recalcitrants Versus the Rainbow Ruling Class

Feb 7, 2018

In our brave new world of radical minority activist groups effectively taking over entire cultures, things are looking very bleak indeed for anyone who dares to resist the revolution. The militants have now become extremely powerful as the political world,

The Day After the Day of Infamy

Dec 8, 2017

December 7, 2017 will go down as a day in infamy, as I wrote yesterday. Fake marriage was voted through in the Federal Parliament, after several days of debate in which various amendments were all voted down. Sodomy has been

Australia’s Day of Infamy

Dec 7, 2017

Mark in your calendars December 7, 2017. It is a day of infamy. It is one of Australia’s darkest days. We all know about December 7, 1941 and the attack on Pearl harbor. That was another day of infamy, but

The Sexual Militants, the Assault on Morality, and the Inversion of Reality

Dec 6, 2017

You know the end is near when good is called evil, wrong is called right, and fantasy is declared to be reality. And when the expansionist state is fully involved in the inversion of morality and sanity, you know we

How NOT to Respond to the Tsunami of Evil Engulfing Us

Nov 30, 2017

In my books, yesterday will be remembered as Black Wednesday. It was a very dark day for Australia indeed. As I wrote in my previous piece, we had a double whammy with a death bill enacted in Victoria and a

The Budapest Declaration

Nov 22, 2017

One of the most pressing issues of our day is the wholesale persecution of Christians. As has often been pointed out, more Christians have died for their faith over the past century than throughout two millennia of church history. And

Are You Among the Troublemakers?

Nov 20, 2017

If you are a Christian, you should be causing trouble. It is that simple. If you are not causing trouble, you may need to ask if you are really a Christian. “What?” you ask. Yes it is true. Simply read

Christians, Stop Being So Glib about This!

Nov 20, 2017

About what? I am glad you asked. In the West the church is taking a hammering and the forces arrayed against it are growing by the day. The crack-down on true Christianity intensifies, and believers are being put under more

A Review of You Will Be Made To Care. By Erick Erickson and Bill Blankschaen.

Nov 19, 2017

Regnery, 2016.

Erick Erickson gets it. He and his co-author know full well what is going on. They are fully aware of the fact – as the subtitle puts it – that there is a “war on faith, family and

Homosexual Marriage Always Trumps Religious Freedom

Nov 18, 2017

Here are some home truths on the homosexual revolution sweeping the West, and implications for all sorts of freedoms, including religious freedom, freedom of speech and freedom of conscience:

-Whenever the state enacts something into law, corresponding duties and obligations

Tears in Heaven

Nov 1, 2017

Life in this world is filled with tears. And if this life was all there was, then this would be terribly tragic indeed. But the Christian believes there is much more than this life, and that one day all tears

The Ever-Present, All-Powerful Ad Hominem

Oct 16, 2017

If you have done even the smallest amount of culture wars activities, you will know something with absolute assurance: you will be attacked, abused and vilified for making a public stand. It simply goes with the territory, and sadly we

The Assault on Marriage, Craven Christians, and Lessons from Bonhoeffer

Oct 15, 2017

The current debate over homosexual marriage in Australia has sadly divided many churches, and even denominations. Households have been divided, and friendships have been lost. It is such a polarising issue that many Christians refuse to even speak out about
