Turning Christophobes into Christophiles

Oct 31, 2020

Some of the greatest Christians were once some of the greatest opponents of the faith:

God is in the transformation business. And so often in the past 2000 years we have seen those who hated God and Jesus with a

One Law For Us, Another Law For You

Jul 31, 2020

Why do Muslims get special exemptions while the rest of us do not?

As if there is not enough craziness, stupidity, angst and turmoil going on all around us because of corona, we now have this revelation. And I tell

Better Dead Citizens Than ‘Islamophobia’

Mar 13, 2020

Even more Islamic terror attacks that are not Islamic or terror-related!

Two people were murdered in Melbourne, but the authorities have NO idea what motivated Mohammed Ibrahim to do it! A stabbing spree in Brisbane by an Afghani, but authorities

Where There Are No Lukewarm Christians

Feb 13, 2020

We need to learn about genuine Christianity:

Christian Revival in Iran

Feb 12, 2020

God is doing amazing things in places like Iran:

While Christianity in the West seems to be on its last legs, God is not yet finished with planet earth. He is still at work, including in places that we might

Soleimani, Sense, and Stupidity

Jan 5, 2020

Yes it is actually a good thing that Soleimani is gone:

Since writing my first piece on the taking out of the Iranian terror leader, I have heard and read plenty of silly and senseless commentary. Such nonsense is to

On Dealing With Terrorists (and Double Standards)

Jan 4, 2020

Some clear thinking on the Soleimani drone strike:

An Iranian terror chief who was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans was taken out by orders of President Trump. Hot on the heels of Iranian militants surrounding the US

Muhammad Versus Jesus

Dec 30, 2019

What are the differences between Jesus and Muhammad?

The founder of Islam is revered by millions, but when we compare his life and teachings with that of Jesus Christ, we find some very major contrasts and differences. When we examine

September 11, Terrorism, and Memory

Oct 7, 2019

These two new books on 9/11 are must reads:

The main problem with the plea to “never forget” is that we invariably do. Our memory is poor, and we easily forget things that matter. That is why we must constantly

Islamic Jihad in Sydney

Aug 13, 2019

Shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ while stabbing innocent citizens in Sydney.

A woman is dead and others are injured after a man went on a stabbing rampage in downtown Sydney – all the while yelling “Allahu Akbar”. But as is almost always

Yes, Mosques Matter, and No, They Are Not Just Like a Church

Jul 23, 2019

It is NOT racist or bigoted or hate-filled to offer this little thought experiment: if you were walking through a dark laneway at night in any major Western city, and you are approached by a gang of men, who would

A Day in the Life of Islam and the Media – Oh, You Didn’t Hear About That One?

Jun 11, 2019

Here is a general rule of thumb you can comfortably count on: most of the mainstream media looks upon Islam as something that is good, that can do no wrong, and must be promoted whenever possible. It also looks upon

This is What Apostasy Looks Like

May 21, 2019

The Bible speaks about apostasy. Church history provides us with many cases of apostasy. But just what might it look like today? What kind of contemporary examples of it can be point to? There would be various things we could

Stay Away From Canada

May 10, 2019

I write this piece while just several hundred miles from the Canadian border. That is because I am enjoying a short visit to Wisconsin at the moment. While it is great to be back, it is frightening to think just

The Conquest of Canaan – Part One

Apr 23, 2019

Whenever another horrible Islamic terrorist attack takes place – and these are now daily occurrences sadly – you will get various Christophobes and/or Islamophiles trying to argue that Christians are just as bad: they too support violence and bloodshed. And

The Conquest of Canaan – Part Two

Apr 23, 2019

This is the conclusion to an article which looks at the issue of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites and various moral and religious problems that can arise as a result. It offers seven considerations in total, the last

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

Notre Dame and the Fate of the West

Apr 17, 2019

With the cause of the blaze that took down much of Notre Dame still uncertain (was it an accident, or arson, or terrorism?), many commentators have already noted the deep symbolism of the event. While the smoke still rises, many

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
