A Prayer for the Postal Plebiscite
Great and Holy God, You alone are the Lord and King. To Your Name belong glory, greatness, power, and praise.

Buddies, Beer, and Bibles
Trending on social media the last few days is the controversy raised by a campaign and a conversation. This was a conversation that involved Buddies, Beer, and Bibles.

Passing Greatness or Permanent Glory?
In preparation of the construction of the Tower of Babel, the people declared, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth” (Gen. 11:4).

The Mission of Motherhood

The Atrocity of Abortion

That is a really important question, and your answer to that question will influence the way you view and live your life. You are here, but why are you here? The answer to that question is found in the fact that there is meaning and significance to your…
Marriage Under Attack: Adultery, Divorce and Homosexuality
In my last post I looked at the sins of pornography, premarital sex and cohabitation. In this post I will now consider three more sins that are an attack on marriage.
Marriage Under Attack
Marriage is under attack. Of course this is not hot off the press news. Since God first instituted marriage back in Genesis 2, the institution of marriage has been criticised and contorted by many.
