The Separation of Church and State: What it is and what it’s not
The separation between Church and State is not a divide between secular and sacred. Nor is this separation a divide between public and private. Church and State are spheres of authority within the structure of good government. Simply put: one wields the sword, the other the truth of the Gospel. As such the Gospel balances out the ideology behind who gets to yield the sword, when, why and how. This is why every totalitarian state either twists theology or purges Christians and the Christian faith. They need to suppress God’s moral standard for His creatures, in order to justify their…
Media giants are boycotting pro-lifers, but what would happen if pro-lifers started boycotting media giants?
In 1791 it’s estimated that about 300,000 people boycotted sugar produced by slaves, causing sales to drop by a third to a half. Thousands of pamphlets were printed encouraging people to join in the protest. The sugar boycott is one of the earliest examples of consumers using their purchasing power to reject unethical organisations. Two hundred years later, we may need to revisit this approach again. A number of US media giants have publicly stated they’ll “rethink” filming in Georgia if the new heartbeat abortion law comes into effect. According to the BBC, Disney, Netflix and WarnerMedia have all objected…
5 Reasons National Reconciliation Week Won’t Change Anything
In 2008 Prime Minister Kevin Rudd issued an official national apology for the mistreatment of Australia’s indigenous people. Since then, evidence has abounded that race relations have simply gotten worse with open resentment and even violent protests of Australia. The latest despicable display of racial bitterness is NRL star Cody Walker’s unoriginal refusal to sing the national anthem before the State of Origin opener. You’d never guess it’s actually “National Reconciliation Week” unless that means racist virtue-signalling week. Yes, the people complaining loudest about racism are plainly racists demanding obeisance. This week will potentially only serve to deepen resentment and…
Netflix joins Alyssa Milano’s militant march against protecting life in the womb
Netflix are kowtowing to celebrity pressure regarding its investments in Georgia. The pressure comes after the American state voted to place significant limitations on abortion. The southeastern state of about 10.2 million people joins Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Utah in passing abortion restrictions under what is called ‘heartbeat bills’. The proposed legislation will prevent the violent interruption of a pregnancy, once a heartbeat is detected. Celebrities were quick to create a chorus of condemnation and took to social media to condemn the legislation. Much like the “Muslim ban” mislabeling applied to the Trump administration’s travel restrictions on…
Pro-family policies rooted in the Christian worldview and a rejection of multiculturalism cause Hungary to flourish
In an exclusive interview with Life Site News, Hungary’s State Secretary for Family and Youth Affairs said the country is flourishing due to the preservation of policies based on the Christian worldview and the natural definition of marriage. “The Hungarian people are family-orientated, respect traditional values and want to live in peace and security,” Katalin Novàk said. “According to a recent poll, 79% of the Hungarians share the view that we should preserve our Christian heritage, which means that a large majority supports policies that are rooted in Christian culture,” she added. As a result, the country has witnessed abortion…
Will Labor listen and learn or lurch further left?
Labor’s Chris Bowen told voters, “If you don’t like our policies, don’t vote for us.” It was an applaudable moment of conviction and commitment I’d like to see more often in political contests. Tell the electorate who you are, what you believe in, what you honestly think is worth fighting for, and then let us choose. I asked my Uber driver yesterday if he was happy with the outcomes of the federal election, without telling him anything about me or my views. He offered that he was normally a Labor voter, but was greatly disillusioned by the way they’d “become…
Mother aborts her healthy baby boy after doctors incorrectly diagnose ‘fatal foetal abnormality’
A mother in Ireland has aborted her healthy baby boy after initial testings suggested there was a “fatal foetal abnormality.” According to Life Site News, the unborn baby was killed at about 15 weeks’ gestation in March at the National Maternity Hospital, the biggest maternity facility in Ireland. It was thought the baby had Trisomy18, also known as Edwards Syndrome, but a series of genetic tests later revealed that was not the case. “A post-mortem analysis revealed that the baby did not have the genetic defect it was presumed to have,” Life Site News reported. “Subsequently, the parents called for…
WATCH: Nine-year-old schools city council: “I know I’m just a kid, but that is exactly my point. These babies are kids just like me.”
A nine-year-old boy has confronted Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and local city council members, urging them to say NO to Planned Parenthood and YES to babies. “Mayor Gallego, I don’t understand. You had a baby. Knowing that abortions end the life of human beings, how do you say yes, and yes and smile and take pictures of others who say yes too? I know I’m just a kid, but that is exactly my point. These babies are kids just like me… “My mom was only seven months pregnant when I was born. In many states, my mom could have had…
WATCH: Democrat says, Donald Trump Jr’s “mother should have aborted him… because he’s retarded”
Alabama State Rep. John Rogers (D) has told WVTM13 that Donald Trump Jr is “proof that mothers ought to have the right to have an abortion because he is evidently retarded or crazy.” Rogers’ remarks come after Trump Jr condemned the state representative for saying, “Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later.” Alabama State Rep. John Rogers (D) on abortion: “Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them…
Working out your senate vote in SA
The senate ballot paper can be daunting. This year, in SA, there are forty-two candidates, most of whose names you have never heard of before. Six of them will end up sitting in the Senate, deciding Australian Legislation for the next six years. That’s an important job, so we should look closely and think about who we will vote for. This article is, hopefully, a good starting point to work out how you will vote if you happen to be a South Australian. I’m going to introduce all the parties/candidates and the basic propositions that they represent. I’ve grouped them…
Biology professor suggests pregnancy is a disease, highlights the parallels between an unborn baby and cancer.
A professor at the University of California, San Diego, has allegedly highlighted the parallels between fetuses and cancers during a lecture titled “Biology of Disease.” A medical student in the class took a photo of one of the presentation slides and uploaded it to social media. The slide parallels the effects of the unborn baby on the pregnant mother’s body with the effects of cancer. “The fetus: a legitimate parasite: rapidly grows, invades, manipulates immunity of mother, reshapes blood vessels,” the slide states. “The cancer: crashes the party!!! rapidly grows, invades, manipulates immunity, reshapes blood vessels.” No joke, a friend…
Google labels pro-life film ‘Unplanned’ as ‘propaganda’
The pro-life movie ‘Unplanned’ has now been listed as a ‘Propaganda’ film by big tech Google. Anyone searching for the film on the platform will see the label, which the search giant defines as: “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.” The film, based on true events, follows the story of former Planned Parenthood Director Abby Johnson, now a pro-life advocate fighting for the right of the unborn after witnessing an abortion first-hand. The film which premiered in theatres on March 29, has continued to surpass box office expectations,…
Fake News: ABC says, Christians kill unborn children too
It’s not out of character for the ABC to misrepresent Christianity. Unsurprisingly, the public funded organisation this week published an opinion piece by Dr Carol Portmann titled, ‘I’m a Christian doctor and I help women have abortions. Here’s how I reconcile that.’ This is called fake news. Dr Carol Portmann is not a Christian. In the piece, Dr Portmann claimed she could reconcile her professed Christianity with her practice of helping women kill their unborn children. Anticipating the obvious, Dr Portmann goes on to falsely state: “Only God can judge me.” I believe that I am doing the appropriate and…
The war against One Nation
Mainstream media are revelling like pigs in mud with the sensational headlines they get to write this week about One Nation. The big story is James Ashby and Steve Dickson flew to America to meet with lobbyists and were secretly recorded discussing potential policies and donations. Apparently, it’s business as normal when the major parties do it, but outrageous when One Nation does. Or is it only scandalous because the topic was every authoritarian’s favourite policy: government restrictions on law-abiding firearms owners; and the lobbyist was the NRA? Gun regulation is a darling of the leftist media complex internationally and…
Is there nothing worse than “racism”?
We need to have a sober conversation about the Coalition’s recommendations for their supporters on how to vote. Labor, The Greens, trade unions and most of mainstream media (apologies for repeating myself) are outspoken on their opinion that the party they’ve labelled as ‘racist’ should be put last by their own opponents. If anyone fails to see the self-serving agenda in this advice for classical liberals and conservatives from ‘progressive’ socialists, they are simply not looking. Firstly, if the Liberal-National Coalition fails to follow their advice, they get to virtue signal about the comfort given to ‘racists’. This may indeed…
Weaponizing the self-confessed pro-Communist, eco-fascist, attack in New Zealand doesn’t do any justice to the victims or the millions of non-Muslims reaching out to support them
Back in August 2016, in an article called, “Why Trump is not Hitler, & Why Evangelical Americans are Not German Christians”, I argued that the more pressing danger was Turkey’s, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the fanaticism surrounding him. His recent decision to use the tragic pro-Communist, eco-Fascist attacks in New Zealand, as a political whip, particularly against Australians, only furthers the point I attempted to make. The piece was written in response to the large amount of naysayers who were predicting another Holocaust if Donald Trump was to win the 2016 United States Presidential race. Equating Trump with Hitler was…
Three Reasons You Can’t be a Christian Feminist
As a Christian woman, I’ve become convinced that feminism is unbiblical, and I have seen first-hand the damage of this ideology as it eats away at women across the western world. According to Merriam-Webster dictionary, feminism refers to: ‘The theory of the political, economic, and social equality of the sexes’. Like many Marxist ideologies, feminism seeks to achieve equality of outcome—and not just equality of opportunity—for men and women in every sphere, which is an impossible task. If you haven’t already noticed, last Friday was International Women’s Day — or as I like to call it, ‘International Feminist Day.’ Because,…
Elections aren’t merely about political issues, they’re about theological and moral issues.
As we are heading for two elections in the coming months, it may be a very good time to reflect on who we truly are. If we recall the prayer of Jesus for His disciples in John 17:16 – “They are not of the world, even as I am not of it”. This should serve us all as a timely reminder that we are but visitors here and yet we are called to be His witness for as long as we are here. Paul also speaks to how we are to live here in Romans 13:1 when he writes: “Let…
The single most important election issue
The Australian Labor Party this week announced a new campaign policy: their intention to make abortion on demand legal and free across Australia. With this single policy they have made it impossible for any authentic Christian to vote for them, much less stay silent on the sidelines of this impending federal election. Labor outlined plans to build a new abortion facility in Tasmania, the only state without one. They also heralded their intention to change the state law in NSW, completely dismissing the rights of the residents of that sovereign state to make their own decisions about state laws, but…
Crying wolf about Nazism, diminishes the heinous crime of Nazism and dehumanises others
In August 2016, I posted a quick response to the hysteria surrounding the election of Donald Trump. I headlined that post, ‘Why Trump is Not Hitler, & Why American Evangelicals Are Not German Christians’. My aim was to counter a lot of what I was seeing posted on social media by people who were usually level-headed and intellectually responsible. It was disappointing to see normally sane individuals suddenly join in the anti-trump rants – which really were, I’m angry because the Leftist power structures, and its monopoly on power, has been diminished – tantrums. Worse still, some Christian conservative academics…
