This year's US Elections are shaping up to be very interesting. We have a President that is somewhat of a mystery as he does some very good things and he does some very bad things. I will leave you to decide which is which. He appears to know what he is doing, just that he seems not to have...

From 1 May, Victorians can now change their gender on their birth certificate to any sex descriptor they wish every 12 months “without having to undergo invasive and costly sex surgery”. Children under 18 can also change gender through an application submitted by their parents. This is simply...

Yes, that is right. In a recent poll, only one-quarter of evangelicals believe abortion should be illegal in all cases. It seems that the majority of Americans believe that life begins at or before the heartbeat but the majority of Evangelicals and Catholics identify as pro-choice. In other...

"It is 2020, anyone who wants to be a woman can be a woman. A woman is anyone who identifies as a woman!” I read this only today. A woman who is the leader of a woman's organization asked the question "what is a woman" of several government and independent women's organizations. Believe it or...

I came across an article that showed what a bunch of loonies lesbians are. So self-centred and devoid of any compassion for children. It involved two lesbians that were married (sic) overseas in 2000 and had children together before breaking up and getting divorced. When I say together, they...

I hope you are a gay Christian? Jesus said he came to give us life and life more abundantly. Abundant life is enough to make anyone gay and happy. If anyone asks you if you are a gay Christian say yes, definitely. The fact is we have very stupidly allowed homosexuals to hijack the word gay and...

I live in Australia. Have for nearly 40 years. Prior to that, I lived in England for 40 years. I left England in June (summer) with a temperature of 20C. I arrived in Australia on 1st August after six weeks in the USA (wonderful people). On August 2nd, second day here in winter it was 20C...

I am a cricket fan and because of the size of the country I live in, and limited mobility I cannot get to major matches. Soooooooooo I always watch on TV and that means all day in some cases. I know I am a cricket tragic as they call them. I can't help it as I played cricket when I was young...

Here I was reading an article in The Australian newspaper about who was attending the Australian Open Tennis finals and FOUR TIMES, yes that is right, four times a female was billed as someone’s WIFE. There were no boyfriends, girlfriends, partners, live-in lover, or any of the titles that have...

I read yesterday that the women in the workforce are the highest that it has ever been. Around 75% of them. So it seems that the priority of families today is money, work, and careers. Now, where did I get this strange idea that children and their needs came first? I never ever left home with...

Do you know one of the biggest barriers to the unbeliever accepting Jesus? If you don't know and you may, it is the church or what is called the church. I did a two-year study of the church in the New Testament and believe you me, you would never believe that the church today was the church if...

Well, no not really. God always was, is and forevermore shall be. It is just that society thinks he is dead as in we don’t need him anymore. But that begs the question. Can we do without God? Talk to an atheist and they will tell us in all sorts of childish ways that God is irrelevant. They...

Yet another attack on the rights and needs of children has happened. You may already know about this, but it needs to be said. There are thousands of pieces of research that show a child does best being raised by their own biological mother and father, both of whom are present in the...

I was reading an article about expository preaching, one of my favourite subjects. I am just not into tickling ears preaching. The article talked about being a teaching pastor and my mind began to wander through the use of the word and I thought how ridiculous so let me begin. If you are the...

A headline in the newspaper I read said: "SAME-SEX UNIONS DIVIDE CHURCH." Uniting Church ministers who oppose same-sex marriage said they are being pushed, harassed and bullied out of the church by progressives at the helm of Australia's third-largest denomination. "They are using church...

Apart from my family and twelve grandchildren, the two things I love is studying scripture, which I have been doing for 66 years (note not 666 years) and church history which to me is a fascinating subject. Add to that historical Judaism which is connected to church history. I have an...

The other day I was reading an article about how many mothers are working full time in the workforce. It broke it down into various professions and detailed what percentage of the workforce were women. Apart from one or two professions like builders and manual workers, in most cases, the number...

Do you live in a family? if you do count your blessings because if Satan and his followers have their way they will disappear from the face of the earth. Regardless of your perfect/imperfect family can I say it again...COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS. Satan does not care whether your family is...

Whatever you believe, let me assure you now that being transgender is not what God intended. He is quite clear that he created us male and female and nowhere in scripture does it indicate that there was any other plan. Therefore the push for the transgender idea can only come from one person...
