Why are leftists up in arms about Palestinian babies dying? 

If only their mothers had used their #choice to abort, there would be no problem right?!

Friend or just friendly?

Speaking to a friend the other day they quoted something simple but profound:

“Poms are not friendly, but they are your friends. Aussies are friendly, but they are not your friends.” 

Having lived in both locations, I found the phrase is incredibly accurate. 

But disturbingly, I have witnessed this from Christians (and been guilty of it myself).

Are we quick to smile at people and have a nice chat, but walk away unconcerned with their salvation, growth or the valley they are going through, maybe to think bad or even to slander and avoid them latter? 

Or do we genuinely and intimately care for people, whether we like them, whether they are weird, whether they agree or have the same theology as us, whether they can return the favour or whether it will cost is?

Do we uplift them in prayer, encourage them, serve them, help them and stand up for them in any way we can? 

Or does it end the second they are not in front of us?

This is a challenging thought for myself. At times I don’t have the emotional, spiritual, mental or physical strength in myself for the day ahead, let alone for others! 

As a husband, anything I have more than enough goes to my wife first, then my children. I would love to have more for others, to be a good son, brother, nephew, uncle or friend – to input in the lives of others, but I regularly withdraw, acutely aware I have nothing left to give. That I need to ‘save’ what little I have for those God has commanded me to love, serve, lead and wash. 

Priorities matter. 

But it doesn’t give me (or any of us) a free pass. Our Lord & Master has given us parables and commands to love, genuinely love, everyone, including the unlovable. 

We need to put the love He has shown us (the least deserving) into action for our neighbours (who is more deserving than us). And maybe, just maybe, we can (and should) do that as part of our marriage and family life. 

Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you favor some people over others, you are committing a sin. You are guilty of breaking the law.
James 2:8-9 (NLT) 

Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
James 2:15-16 (NLT)

Lord, give us the strength we need to make it through today. Keep us close, draw us closer to yourself so we can draw what we need from You. Use us for those close to us and for those we would naturally avoid. Have Your way in us and through us. 

We are Hamas:

“We will attack, injure, rape kill and kidnap people but then blame their home country for it.

We will refuse to come to peace agreements unless we can get the upper hand by breaking them.

We will hide in schools and hospitals making it impossible to get to us without civilian casualties.

We will use women and children as part of our arsenal and use families to ‘house’ hostages.

We will kill anyone who does not agree with our cause or follow our religious rules stringently.

We will fire rockets into civilian areas so often that 50% of Israeli children will have serious stress disorders.

We will reframe and lie to gain support from those we would quickly kill if we were in power.

We will try to convince and brainwash the ignorant to fight our popularity battles. We are so convincing that they will actually believe the victim is the aggressor.

We are so blinded by hatred (and the need to dominate) that we will never surrender nor be at peace with people from our own religion let alone others.

We will commit cowardly acts to fight ‘allahs’ battles as set out in the Quran”

–  Hamas

If you support Hamas or the ‘Palestinian’ chants for ceasefire, while hostages are still be held, tortured, raped and killed, you are a puppet for an agenda that has no place in a modern, stable or advanced society. #stopsupportingterrorism 

Boycott Israel / the Jews??

Passing through Leederville (W.A) the other night, I briefly took my two youngest through the skate park. All over the place was blatant antisemitism.

These people seem oblivious to the fact they are falling for terrorists propaganda & spreading hatred & racism. Talk about hypocrisy! So sad that one people group has so much racism directed against it that it has its own term. 

It seems that many leftists are quite ok with terrorism, kidnapping, rape and murder if it is against those they disagree with. 

Thankfully, for now at least, our culture is based on what Jesus modelled: that all humans have intrinsic worth as they are made in the image of God. 

I hope we continue to listen otherwise genocide, war and collapse of culture are all that remain.

So close to getting scammed!

I was *so* close to getting scammed…they nearly got me!! To save money while building, we often fill up a large diesel tank at a discount fuel station. I had filled the maximum once, and so hung up the fuel hose and swiped my card again… A loud beep indicated that this second transaction did not go through. This is a fairly common occurrence – we regularly run out of money so need to be careful in how much we spend… As I removed my card, my phone started ringing… “We are are ringing to see if you authorised a …

ChatGPT: when AI wants to send you to hell.

It matters what you have as your source for Truth. Unfortunately many will have a terrible awakening as they have been gullible to believe government, Hollywood, the media, religion… “Be not afraid, for in the kingdom of God, there is no man nor woman, as all are one in spirit. The gates of my Father’s kingdom will open for those who love and are loved, for God looks not upon the body, but the heart.”  – ChatGPT [not what the Bible states!] Here is what God *actually* says: – We all only live once, then will face Judgement. ¹   – …

The Voice 2023 – the Australia I Love.

Am I wrong? If unity, fairness and ‘help for the vulnerable’ would result from ‘the Voice’, *everyone* would vote yes – I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t. The problem is, nobody has any clarity on what this Voice actually will be initially (let alone further down the track). The lack (and mis) information has been astounding. This is even more worrying considering the determination of our current government to gain *complete* control. Both overt and covert attempts are being made to censor what we are allowed to hear, see or believe (not just to do with the Voice). That’s not …

King Charles Coronation It’s all about the King.

I only watched a little of the highlights of King Charles’ coronation – but of the few bits I saw…  1) Even though a lot of the ceremony was very subdued and for some quite boring, *nobody* else in the room got any attention. Live video coverage around the world from every angle, yet no mention of any of the ‘super important’ people in the room. In fact, if the *most* well known had dropped dead we wouldn’t know – the only thing important in the room? The king! And so it will be at the end of time – …

Housing & Economy Crisis yet the Government does THIS??

There would be no hospitals at all in Australia if it were not for Christianity. So it should be alarming, that the Government has just forcibly taken over a *private* hospital run by an order of nuns from the Catholic Church! No, not in Indonesia or Saudi Arabia or WW2 Germany, but in Australia’s own Capital Territory! Surely that isn’t legal? Well it wasn’t so guess what – they are changing the law to allow it. Ponder the implications… And if you are wondering what horrendous thing they did…nothing. They didn’t want to sell out to a new hospital – …

Housing & Economy Crisis yet the Government does THIS??

There would be no hospitals at all in Australia if it were not for Christianity. So it should be alarming to, that the Government has just forcibly taken over a *private* hospital run by an order of nuns from the Catholic Church.  No, not in Indonesia or Saudi Arabia or WW3 Germany, but in Australia’s own Capital Territory! And before you wonder if they have done something horrendous – no. It is likely due to etc fact that they treat life – all life – as sacred.  That means they serve and love people and do their best to offer …

What is more evil than guns?

It has been incredible, that, after the latest USA shooting in a school, there has been *very* little talk of how evil guns are. It’s a stark contrast to the normal news cycle after a shooting, so I thought I’d look at why…  Surprise, surprise, it comes down to what they are trying to get you to believe. And it turns out there is something more evil than guns (or gun laws) they want you to blame.  No, no NO certainly NOT transgender people (or transgender activist / terrorists) – don’t be CRAZY! That must not be your conclusion, no …

Love Wins – Transgender Terrorist labelled victim – Nashville Covenant School

My heart grieves, not only for the victims’ families, but also for the masses of precious young people being duped into a lie. I know what it is like to live with self-hatred, depression, and addiction. I know what it is like to be ostracised and rejected and bullied. I know what it is like to have questions and confusion about who I am / was (identity). But, speaking from experience, I can honestly say it was when my eyes were opened to who God made me to be, who I *actually* was, (not what other people thought, not what …

Homeschool Play: His story

Yesterday I watched an incredibly powerful play put on by a group of homeschoolers. It traced just a few events in history that had a dramatic effect on the world I grew up in and still live in today.  They are events that still clearly reveal that our current world would be in a *much* worse place if our current cultural attitudes were allowed to flourish.  It showed how certain practises (like torture killing of criminals, forced sale of young girls for sex), perceived as fine by the culture, were ended due to the influence on One person. The ramifications …

Be encouraged fellow pilgrim

Be encouraged fellow pilgrims…  Many of you know that for over a year I have been telling my children that they need to be sure about where God wants them as our culture is doomed. In fact, according to history, our cultures demise is sure in our life time let alone theirs.  But that said, I am not worried or discouraged – Jesus the King is on the throne, God’s will is being fulfilled and can not be thwarted. While our culture may be nearing the end of its road, this is not a new phenomenon.  The vast Herodian empire, …

Fathers Day 2022

It was 22 years ago today that I was suddenly confronted with the fact that I had a Father who cared about me.  Maybe this seemed so powerful because my biological father was quite different. When he learned of my existence, he left: no words, no care, no contact, no protection, no provision and no explanation. I wasn’t sad about it – it was all I knew – no dad? No worries!  I had no idea of the damage to my soul, no idea of the difference a role model could make, no idea how a father could teach, model, …

When reporters show their true colours.

I am not sure why so many Christians are up in arms about a woman saying Mary should have aborted Jesus. What do we expect from people who love sin and are spiritually blind / dead? Did we not love sin & hate what was good before Jesus opened our eyes / changed our hearts? I know for one I did. The Bible is so clear on how confused and blind people are: He literally abandons them to their own foolishness. (Scripture below). When I think back at how ridiculous my own beliefs were before Jesus changed me I am …

So how does humanity survive from MONKEYPOX? 

So how does humanity survive from MONKEYPOX?  a) A ‘vaccine’ that doesn’t actually stop you getting it b) 3 – 5 boosters that don’t stop you getting it c) wearing a mask and don’t visit people d) put everybody in lock down  e) all of the above  f) all of the above PLUS a monkey tax If you think the government overreach has been bad…wait & see what happens if Labour / Greens get in. Seriously the WHO (who get so much wrong) want total unhindered control over you and your kids. The fact that many haven’t even heard about …

The significance of 31

31 – it’s the age I was 15 years ago! Hard to believe, but 31 has a lot more significance than that… It’s also the number of babies that have survived an abortion attempt in Western Australia:  Born alive and able to live, they were left to slowly die. That’s right – in this world where people are up in arms if you smack a child, or kill a fox, or cut down a tree that a bird might live in… trained doctors and nurses stood back and did nothing as a helpless babies struggled in pain and slowly died.  As …

Hey Christian: Position Yourself!

A news reader happy to segregate society and declare that the Saviour of the world should have been killed in the womb. A successful Christian filmmaker whose whole catalogue of film was deliberately erased by Google. The Breastfeeding Association investigating the use of the supposedly offensive term of ‘mother’. A veteran police officer under the same for stating biological facts on his personal Facebook page. Christian bakers, conservative judges, teachers, professors and sports people: all fair game.  The laws of the land are quickly sliding down a slippery slope they said did not exist. It is now virtually impossible to …

Dan Andrews & Mask McGowan – you ain’t seen nothing yet!

Ten years ago, if I anyone had said that we would see the things we have in the last few, they would have been labelled a conspiracy theorist at minimum, but more than likely they would be labelled a complete nut case.  A few examples are below, they all magnify the fact that our culture has completely abandoned rational thinking and objective truth.    While some are alarmed and others are waking up to the warning signs and dangers of complete control, we haven’t seen anything yet.  Imagine if Labor / the Greens get in:  Mothers & Fathers Day gone for …

Violence against the pro-life crowd.

It should not surprise you that Molotov cocktails are being thrown into the offices of pro life groups. Violent & threatening protests outside of DEMOCRATIC JUDGES HOUSES are just the beginning.  If someone is willing to defend the right to crush an innocent babies skull & suck out it’s brains, then cut it up & sell it’s organs… why wouldn’t they be violent or try to kill those they disagree with?  What is the difference? Where is the line?  There is no length people will not go to to ensure their chosen way of life is not affected.  My life, …

Happy Mothers Day 2022

The outlook was bleak and there were many risks.  This was the worst time to fall pregnant – no income, already two children to care for and the bills were mounting.  It was clear that the father was bad news – sure enough he left as soon as he heard the news. No support, no income, no house, no financial security, no child support.  The choice for many reading this would be simple: have it killed.  Thankfully, my mother had come to believe that life was precious and sacred, even before birth. This is what she had read in the …

The day I thought I would die…

I will never forget the memory of an intense argument. It affected my soul so much – my stomach was tense, my whole being in desperate fear. I actually thought I was going to die. Looking back – most people I know would say that I should have died. More accurately, they would say I should have been killed.  I was going to be born to a woman who’s partner was an alcoholic. He was bad news, offered her nothing – no support, no care. The woman already had two children to a previous relationship. This baby would push her …

I won a PUPPY at a raffle!!!

I went to a country fete the other day.  There was a raffle to raise money for animal welfare. I hadn’t planned to participate, but I LOVE raffles: so many great prizes – and surprises. And this one certainly was a surprise…I won a puppy! I hadn’t taken much notice of the prizes being drawn, but this little fella was sooooo cute! His tail wagged the whole way home… My excitement was short lived though: As I passed a park I started thinking of all the things that would change. I would have to walk it every day – feed it …

The slave trade, being repeated right now!

Just watched a movie / documentary about the end of the slave trade with African Americans and John Newton.  Looking back at this point in time I think that if I was alive during this time, I would have lost it in rage and killed those who were abusing and torturing people for their own benefit.  I imagined fighting back and saving the slaves. But then I had a sobering thought: before Jesus arrested me on a cliff, I was willing to do anything to anyone for a small amount of gain.  I would lie to people. I would rip …

Roe versus Wade – OVERTURNED!

So it seems that the Supreme Court in the US (@SCOTUS) is about to overturn Roe versus Wade. So years after incomplete information allowed / condoned people to murder babies that can feel in womb, there is some justice for these, the most vulnerable, the truly voiceless, in our society. And now, wait to hear the reaction of those who demand the right to stamp on the rights of the one they were responsible in creating. I won’t be surprised if there are angry mobs and death threats towards those who have rightfully voted on this stain on our society. …

How to know if Elon Musk REALLY cares about Free Speech

Do you want to know how to tell if this whole Elon Musk / Twitter thing REALLY is about free speech? I’ve got 3 simple ways for you to tell for sure.  I don’t know about you, but I find it pretty amazing when I see the reaction of so many people on the sale of Twitter. Obviously I understand the position of those who run it: the board: they want to make money and to do so they need to cater to the masses of the online community. They want the perception of being progressive, but not too much. …

Anzac Day 2022 – did they die in vain ?

It’s hard to imagine the sacrifices, the hardship endured by others to try to ensure our freedom. But did they die in vain?  Months or even years away from family, friends, parents or children.  No showers, cleanliness or dry socks. That’s right – itchy, infected feet swollen in boots – that was normal.  Sickness, disease and experimental ‘medicine’.  High stress environment: continually being shot at, attacked and killed.  Watching friends and allies die regularly.  Being commanded to kill other humans. Seeing horrible and disgusting acts that haunt them for life…if they survive.  Many, too young to know any better, had …

Will magnifying the lefts hypocrisy slap down Hollywood?

Cancel Culture: any white man that even looks at a woman the wrong way or – who could believe it – is ever alone in a room with her is canceled, attacked, dropped and sacked. A white mans career and life can be destroyed DECADES later on the testimony of a drunk or drug affected woman.  But, Will Smith, who is ok for other people to have sex with his wife, physically assaults a comedian for a mild insult… but then, something much more telling happens. Minutes later he gets a standing ovation from hundreds of famous and influential people, many …

Disneys Despicable Depiction…Targeting vulnerable children

This week, details made public have confirmed what many have long known: Disney is no longer child friendly. I would go further and say it is positively dangerous for children and also aggressively anti-parent… Disney seems determined to remove all rights from parents and push their far-left (and in my opinion toxic) view of sexuality, gender fluidity and racism on to unsuspecting children. Many will have picked up these undertones increasingly in their recent movies and removal of gender language (including in their theme parks , but still may be surprised by the advertised minimum quotas of particular minority groups …

The Bible – the book we love to hate…

Today, while listening to the Bible, it hit me: “No wonder people hate the Bible!!”   “No wonder people hate the Bible!”  Seriously, it’s no wonder it get’s so much negative press…it deserves it! While 95% of what is presented is completely false, no one cares: it’s a book we all love to hate…  I did too. Anyone who dared to try direct me towards it would get an instant and angry attack: those who had represented it to me while young had hurt me, so NO WAY! But today, I see things very differently.   Here’s the verse that I was …

How Discipline Proves Love

I recently wrote an article looking at the ‘Death of the West’: how history reveals that we can not survive the next 40 years. (Article is Here)   All through history, powerful, educated, military nations that should rule the world have ceased to exist. However, it is small, insignificant, uneducated nations like the Jews, have survived through the ages (despite concerted efforts to the contrary!) . It just does not make sense… Unless of course there is some supernatural power at play. Interestingly, the Bible describes this very scenario: a God who punishes nations who violate His law. According to this incredible book, the …

Brandon Sanderson – Start Kicking the false fantasy and embrace TRUTH!

I just read that the largest backing for a Kickstarter project ever is for a set of four books from Brandon Sanderson.  Let that sink in – Over 32 MILLION dollars has been pledged by people who want to read the books on a fantasy world created by a Mormon with a creative, though agenda-driven, imagination.   I find it so incredibly telling that in this culture, that elevates supposed knowledge and rational thought so much, we have lost the very notion of truth altogether.  We should not be surprised, as history has universally shown that for cultures that embrace …

Floods, Fires, Famine, Earthquakes, Wars…APOCALYPSE much?

It is not a surprise that I have been asked a number of times recently:  “Is the Covid [ jab / mandate / passport ] ‘the mark of the Beast’ the Bible talks about?”  The answer is incredibly alarming, but likely in a totally different way than you might think…  First, the ‘Mark of the Beast’ as described clearly in the Bible:  He required everyone—small and great, rich and poor, free and slave—to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. 17 And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either …

Censorship: the tip of the iceberg of evil in the West

I guess many of you know of the censorship of social media, but I wonder if you are aware of the root, goal and result? It might not worrying you, but it should.  While history shows that our culture should not survive past 2060 , I firmly believe that, if we return to our values, we can see a reversal of our destruction.  By values I don’t mean ‘doing good’ or some socialistic charity type thing: far from it! I mean by returning to the foundation of our values, based on the Bible, based on the ruler of the universe: …

The Death of the West – Why my grandchildren will never know the Australia I love

History throughout all of known history has confirmed something very sobering: No culture has ever survived more than 100 years after the point the West reached in 1970. Every single one has been destroyed – wiped off the face of the map – for good. If we don’t want this to happen to the West, we had better understand -at the very least – what the indicators are!

Australia Day 2022 – Are you ready for the end of Australia as we know it?

This Australia Day, I gleaned a little from some of the mainstream media across the country and world. It is quite interesting to see just how clear the agenda of each news outlet is: many owned by the same umbrella company or person. They are very clever at the way they reach their target market and influence them towards the set agenda.  Of course, the position of the vast majority is that of the left, liberal or progressive ideals that will chop away at the country we love. (If you can’t handle that truth – I suggest you stop reading!) …

The time for being LUKEWARM is over! Twitters Purge & Jesus’ vomit

Many of you will have some idea that you are being slowly conditioned by volume of God-less and opposed-to-God posts you see on a day to day basis.  Some of you may be aware that the algorithms of social media deliberately filter out certain topics to make sure you are the influenced, not the influencer.  But not many of you will realise that most platforms are actively banning people from their platforms – discriminating – on the basis of belief in Jesus.  You heard that right, but likely have not seen any report of it: While fake and contrived attacks …

What will surprise you about 3 basic COVID responses…

Please folks, start to panic & worry even more as the sky is falling… again!  This new strain… ahh forget it. I’m not going to waste time re-hashing what the media will use to try to create panic in the next few weeks / months about. And I won’t predict the usefulness of any ‘vaccine’ or booster for this new strain. Nor will I go on about how many new strains there will be over the next few years & the accompanying new jabs that will become available and then mandated.  I want to take a different tack:  Well done …

Can God help against two jet airliners and two collapsing buildings?

I recently read about a few people who survived the September 11 attacks, thanks to God’s intervention.  Stanley Praimnath, an assistant vice president for Fuji Bank worked on the 81st floor of the South Tower. You can read more details in various places, but you likely won’t read what could be the whole reason he survived… For instance, you will read on WIKI:  “When American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower, Praimnath started to evacuate from his 81st floor office in the South Tower, but he returned when the building’s security guards said the South Tower was secure, and …

Allegiance to the Taliban…

I can’t help but think that many of us Westerners are going to be caught out far worse than the Afghans we are seeing on TV at the moment.  Do I think that the Taliban are about to storm Australia? No, not even close. As calculated and deliberate as I see the political and militant arm of Islam, I think there is far more chance of something from China eventuating – but that is nothing to do with the risk I am talking about.  To think that we as Australians could suffer the same fate as these poor Afghans – …

Rachael Denhollander Vitim or Victor

Rachael DenhollanderVictim or Victor? Today, I read an excerpt from former gymnast Rachael Denhollander’s victim impact statement. It was moving and powerful to say the least. Having spent much time with survivors of sexual abuse her words reveal so much to both those struggling, those abusing and those in charge of making sure others are protected. It is so incredibly sad that so many precious young lives had to be tainted so deeply before this case came to light. It always grips me when I see people who have been wounded by the people who were meant to love them. The life-changing …

Homosexual Faith in Marriage

The real reason homosexuals want marriage re-defined…and how we can relate. The current debate has settled down to the ‘re-definition of marriage’, a definition that includes any two men and two women. If you talk to people who want this change they will be very careful to try to point out that ‘love is love’, ‘it doesn’t affect anyone’ and ‘it is about equal rights’. But this doesn’t make sense – a huge number of people will be affected (even if you ignore the links to sex education, transgenderism, freedom of speech and religious rights), what is labelled love isn’t …
