Following on from my blog yesterday, a piece came across my desk which contained these words.... "With no God over the state, the state then becomes not the defender of liberty but the definer of liberty. You have no freedoms except those bestowed by the state, and those freedoms are defined...

I don't know if anyone else has noticed it but the more government does to protect our freedoms the less we have. I can remember the time when talking about JESUS on the street was generally accepted. No one claimed that you hurt their feelings by doing this. I can remember the time when the...

Most of you will have realised how predictable atheists are. Whatever you say, their mantra is "prove it." Whatever it is, proof is the only valid means to establish a fact. In everyday life, we do a myriad of things, including atheists, without any proof whatsoever, especially when we buy...

I have just read that in my country of Australia the records show that 37 men have given birth to babies. Yes, that is right. 37 men. Not possible you say? Well, yes you are right. Men cannot give birth to babies because they do not have the right anatomy So let me explain. The 37 men were...

Hi everyone. I am back again after being banned because I ruffled someone's feathers. Someone didn't like me calling a spade a spade. Nothing I can do about that because I am autistic and one thing we are noted for is calling a spade a spade. Generally speaking, we have brilliant minds but there...

I am writing a novel at the moment about the coming of age of half a dozen boys who are mates. It is not a Christian novel because I want boys who are not Christians to read it, but much of it includes Christian themes written in a language that they would understand. For instance, I guide...

As you can see from my avatar, I am a dedicated fan of the sport of cricket. I watch every test match between Australia and the country they are playing on TV and each one takes up to five days to complete. I realise from the comments of the Americans I have met that for most of them, cricket...

One thing that has become de rigor is the constant cry that what children need is quality time, not quantity time. This has become a mantra ever since mothers have been going out to work full time and leaving children to the care of others. Despite the fact that scripture exhorts us to bring...

If one was to be asked what is the central proclamation of the Christian gospel many would answer like me "Jesus Christ is Lord." If we are asked what is a core belief some would answer "life." Jesus said he had come to give life and to give it more abundantly and John says that his life is...

I don't live in America but I do love America and Americans. When I visited there for six weeks, I found that the American people were most generous and hospitable people I had ever met. Whilst I was standing in line with my wife and children to see the Disney Parade in Disneyland in Annehiem...

In my last post, I said I would follow it up with ideas to bring fathers back into the equation of family life and thus the life of society. The following I believe is essential and you can put them in any order you want to. All these have come about from being involved in cultural issues in the...

Most of the time I don't plan what I write. I usually am thinking about something I have seen or heard and in the middle of it all a thought comes to me and I decide that deserves attention. Fatherhood is one of those 'aha' moments and I have a particular interest in it as I have never had a...

I am writing this because I am in a unique position to do so. I have two children, a daughter and a son who I love dearly, and 10 grandchildren. Every time I see them my hearts melts. I saw them a few weeks ago. Prior to that, it was nearly a year as they live 4,000 km from where we live. When...

Back in the 70s, I was part of a church in the UK that had no pastor, no platform, no pulpit, no programme and no preaching (not the sort we usually have). So how did it function? The church was led by a plurality of Elders, none of whom were brought in from outside the fellowship. The...

Before we can fight the enemy we have to know who or what he is. A long time ago it dawned on me that we are not fighting a homosexual juggernaut, we are not fighting secularism, we are not fighting atheism, we are not fighting ignorance, we are fighting lies. Anything that rears its ugly head...

In one way I am glad I am the age I am (75). Although I bemoan the loss of physical faculty due to the age thing, I am grateful that I came into the kingdom of God at a time when preaching was about God, Jesus, His Word and the kingdom of God. Most of the time we heard what the Bible says, not...

I don't know about you but I long for a church experience that is not all razzle-dazzle. There are churches out there that do not subscribe to the razzle-dazzle of modern Christianity but they seem so lacking in power and biblical truth. They seem to be more interested in denominational purity...

There may be more, but I have noticed two types of leadership in the church. The first one is the servant leader. One who is there for your benefit and everything he does is done to grow you spiritually, mentally and personally. This type of leader tends to be one of the congregation who is...

There is no doubt the church is under siege from all quarters and the responses by it make one wonder who and what is the church as so many are giving into a godless agenda and embracing sin like as never before to the point that what was deemed sin no longer is. The purity of life and teaching...
