The Gift You Need This Christmas
At Christmas, a gift was given. But many people today wonder what they are supposed to do with it.
Freedom Isn’t a Threat to the People, the Politician Who Says Otherwise Is
“They need the people to believe that the only solution to the current ‘crisis,’ whatever it may be, is wearing the shackles of the state. But this cannot be accomplished without a relentless propaganda campaign, designed to instil enough fear that people start begging for the safety of slavery while rejecting the risks of freedom.”
Antic: The Media and Much of the Political Class Are Refusing to Tell the Whole Truth
“If we are told to ‘trust the science’ then that means being told the whole story, not just the parts which suit a particular narrative.”
Dear Pastor in Victoria
“Dear pastor, the care of your flock was given to you, not to Daniel Andrews. Make no mistake, you are responsible, not him.”
FAQ on Same-Sex Attraction, Temptation, Desire, and Sin
“Despite our many advances in sanctification, there will always be an enormous abyss between our holiness now and our holiness in glory. However, death is not the alpha point of transformative holiness in Christ.”
False Gospel Gaslighting: How Manipulation Is Dividing the Church
“It isn’t unusual today to hear progressive Christians calling conservative Christians ‘extreme’ or ‘crazy’, and this is especially true when politicians get involved in the church.”
There Is No Hard Scientific Justification for Hazardous Public Health Policies
Under Hazzard’s watch, if Schindler’s List, Sarah’s Key, or Life is Beautiful, were to be released today in cinemas around New South Wales, (ironically) only those deemed superior by the state – those with pledge passports – would be able to go and watch them.
Politicians, Pastors, and Bureaucrats: Whose Mouth Is the Devil Using Right Now?
“Make no mistake, the Devil is very busy indeed. In a time of turmoil and trial, he is busy pointing people in many directions, as long as they don’t go in the one direction that can provide true and lasting relief, namely, the direction of Jesus Christ.”
“Your Body, My Choice”: The Failed Logic of Pro-Abortion, Pro-Mask Mandate Advocates
While they often claim to be on the side of “science”, pro-abortion supporters repeatedly show themselves to be the real “science-deniers” in our world today.
Is It ‘Informed Consent’ If The Facts Are Suppressed?
“It appears that in many cases, there has not been ‘valid consent’ because of undue pressure, coercion, manipulation and withholding of risks. This is wicked and shameful, particularly considering that we are supposed to be a democratic and free society.”
Christian Leaders, Fight for the Conscience of Your People: Vaccine Mandates and Letters of Exemption
“Will the Confessing Church ever learn that majority decision in matters of conscience kills the spirit?” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Why Are Christian Leaders Undermining Conscience and Human Rights?
We must strongly oppose the campaign being waged by some evangelical intellectuals to de-legitimise the concerns and emotions that lie behind Covid vaccine hesitancy and thereby void the church’s responsibility to speak up about significant human rights violations.
Separation of Church and State… Except When It’s Convenient for the State to Interfere
“Unfortunately for Christians in Australia, we don’t have clear constitutional provisions to point at when the state and territory government gets uncomfortably involved in religious affairs. It seems that while Section 116 of our constitution protects us from the Federal government messing with religion, the States and Territories get free reign.”
My Nagging Feeling
“I was born and brought up as one of four missionary children in Tanzania. I still remember to this day the lepers in the streets… The church there in Morogoro did not stop the sick from entering and was open to all.”
Is Safety More Important Than Church?
“By now we know how to keep safe and healthy. We know the risks of leaving home to partake in essential activities. Yet, many churches are still operating on the internet as if it were an online college degree.”
Vaccine Passports for Worship Place Members Under Church Discipline for Illegitimate Reasons
“In the end, to ban healthy believers from public worship for any reason other than unrepentant sin, including those based on whatever arbitrary medical treatments the government deems necessary at any particular time of the day, is to ultimately exchange the gracious staff of the Great Shepherd for the often cruel and unforgiving rod of Caesar.”
Ten Reasons Why Online Church is Not Real Church
Now is the time to insist that churches be re-opened. For everyone: vaccinated and unvaccinated.
Five Reasons the Church Should Oppose A Vaccine Passport System
“The church would be appalled at any sort of racial/ethnic prejudice or segregation, but now in some quarters, segregation that Christ has not established, is being lauded as a solution for a return to normalcy. If there is no Jew nor Greek in the church, why should the vaccinated and unvaccinated be segregated?”
Rethinking Obedience to Government in the Coronavirus Era
“Before thinking through how and when we should submit to governing rulers, we must first take a step back to an even more fundamental question: What is the proper role and scope of government in this world?”
