There is no climate emergencyClimate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.

When Somali-born Dutch American activist, writer, and politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali addressed the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship conference (ARC) forum in London in February 2025, she claimed that Christianity and the Bible is the backbone of the secular state. Nations need Christian morality. It’s like the operating system of society. Remove Christianity, Ayaan argued, and the entire Western system topples over. Read the rest of this page »
Eddie Obeid is a retired politician and convicted criminal, who served as a member of the NSW Legislative Council between 1991 and 2011. In 2016, a jury found Obeid guilty of misconduct in public office. He was sentenced to five years in jail. Then in 2021 he was sentence to 7 years jail for a similar offence. He misused his position as a Member of Parliament to benefit his family’s financial interests. On many occasions he failed to declare a conflict of interest. He was corrupt and dishonest and looked after his interests instead of the people of NSW. Read the rest of this page »
History is peppered with both political and religious leaders knowingly and willingly lying to the public for their own gain, glory and purposes. Julius Caesar reportedly lied about the Gauls and started a war with them to redirect attention from his own debt and corruption. Hitler famously used his “big lie” technique to gain the popular support and persecute the Jewish people. Much evidence has come to light that when George Bush cited Hussein’s “massive stockpile” of weapons as the reason they were invading Iraq he knew they did not exist. Then we have the even more tragic ever-growing list of Christian leaders who have been exposed as deceitful – embezzling cash, sexual misconduct, extramarital affairs. Read the rest of this page »
Jesus did many miracles. He healed many people, including the demon possessed. He used a boy’s lunch to feed a crowd that included 5,000 men. He calmed a storm. And He raised Jarius’s daughter back to life.
But then some Jewish religious leaders asked Jesus to show them another miraculous sign to prove that He was the promised Messiah! They disregarded all His other miracles. They were skeptical. The request was an excuse for their unbelief. They probably wanted a spectacular “sign from heaven” (Mt. 16:1; Lk. 11:16). But they weren’t looking for proof from Jesus, they were looking for proof against Him, so they could get Him killed. It was a test, not just a request (Mt. 16:1; Mk. 8:11; Lk, 11:16).

Introduction
When I was 19, I would lie awake at night trying to calculate how old I would be when the food shortages hit. Where I should live one day to avoid the sea level rise? Where would be safe to live in 20 years time? Whether it was even ethical to bring a child into the world I genuinely believed was going to collapse due to unavoidable catastrophic climate change. And the strangest part is that no one had made me think this with violence. No one had threatened me. All they had done is teach me. Read the rest of this page »
For most Australians today literal darkness isn’t much of a problem. We have artificial light at our finger tips and as such can do almost any activity we wish day or night. But the metaphorical darkness of evil still plagues us. We witness political leaders using their power for their own gain at the expense of others, civilians being killed for disagreeing with authorities, money being siphoned into leaders pockets while populations are hungry and homeless. The rich protect the rich without reference to truth or justice. Self service, corruption, greed, deception, violence, this is the kind of moral darkness we can feel powerless to repel.

Heaven seems to be a rather neglected subject today. But what do we mean by ‘heaven’? People sometimes say that deceased Christians have ‘gone to heaven’ to be with the Lord (1 Th. 4:17). That heaven is not a created place, yet the Bible’s opening verse states, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth” (Gen. 1:1ESV). Read the rest of this page »
