In a half-hearted ‘no’ to The Voice, the Australian Liberal Party will support a legislated Voice, not a constitutional addendum. It’s a dodgy compromise, with a silver lining. First, the positive: This is a major win for Classical Liberalism. Of great importance, the Libs have defeated any prospect of inserting…
Advice for the Liberal Party of Australia
If the Liberal Party wants to be a force to reckon with their only road forward is to go Nationalist. Not hard right, but more to the right. They need to recognize that the leftist-leaning parties of Labor and the Greens have the progressive vote sown up, and so leaning…
Jordan Peterson Doesn’t Understand Marital Submission
The famous Canadian psychologist Dr Jordan B. Peterson has given many public lectures on biblical interpretation and has become something of a pseudo-spiritual mentor to many men in the western world, including Christian men. One could argue that it is Christians who are most interested in what he has to…
‘Even Dragons Shall Him Praise’ Hits #1 on iTunes
Christians are commanded to sing, but finding songs worth singing can sometimes be a difficult task. Too often it’s the case that songs with a good sound are theologically unsound, and vice versa. Thankfully, it’s not always one or the other, as Brian Sauvé’s latest release beautifully demonstrates. And I’m…

“I Know the Resurrection Is a Fact, and Watergate Proved It to Me”
In 1974, Charles “Chuck” Colson, former special counsel to President Richard Nixon, was jailed for his involvement in the Watergate scandal.

Threatening to Kill Yourself if People Won’t Change Can Be Abuse
Domestic and family violence is not always physical abuse. Often it includes different types of harmful behaviours. These behaviours may not only have an immediate impact on victims but can also leave them with serious long-lasting psychological damage. Non-physical forms of violence vary and may include verbal, financial, social, and…
No More Lies – We Must Proclaim the Truth, Even if It Costs Us
I hate to break it to you, but the time when Christians play games is over. The time for trivial pursuits is long over. The time for just trying to be ‘nice’ and ‘winsome’ and not rock the boat is well past its use-by date. Instead, we are in desperate need of…
