When Teen Vogue becomes Teen Jezebel

It was not enough for Teen Vogue to celebrate anal sex and promote prostitution and teach kids how to have an abortion without parental permission. Now this popular young people’s magazine is offering guidelines on “sex spells,” guaranteed to “make your orgasms magical.” (What wholesome reading for teens!) The new article, by astrologer Lisa Stardust, […]
Should we be allowed to die with dignity?

On 29 November 2017, Victoria became the first Australian state to pass legislation allowing voluntary assisted dying. The law gives anyone suffering a terminal illness, with less than six months to live, the right to end their life. “From 19 June 2019, Victorians at the end of life who are suffering and who meet strict eligibility criteria […]
Why Colorado should be a wake up call for legalizing marijuana

Just over the weekend, we had some family from interstate come to visit while they were on holidays. They have some good friends of theirs whose son is the same age as me. While we are not close friends, I have known him since we were little boys. I randomly inquired as to how he […]
When Orthodox Jews Oppose Followers of Jesus

For several decades, I have drawn attention to the Church’s historic persecution of the Jews in Jesus’ name. It is one of the ugliest and longest chapters in Church history, and it cannot be downplayed, forgotten, or ignored. With God’s help, I will continue to call out “Christian” antisemitism wherever I see it today. But […]
Making Sense of President Trump and LGBT Issues and People

Donald Trump has been called the most anti-LGBT president in our history. Yet he just became the first Republican president to celebrate LGBT pride month, also calling for the decriminalization of homosexuality worldwide. Does this indicate a shift in perspectives? Not according to gay journalist Michelangelo Signorile In an article for the Daily Beast, he […]
If You Can’t Beat the Boys, Play with the Girls

I want to focus on one word, and one word only. That word is fairness. Not gender. Not transgender. Not activism. Not rights. Not perception. Simply fairness. That’s the issue here, and that’s where we need to keep our focus. The question is not why a man identifies as a woman (or vice versa). The […]
This is Jesus’ Toughest Teaching

On the one hand, the Gospel is broad and spacious, a message with its arms wide open welcoming all to come and receive God’s grace, mercy and the gift of eternal life. The Gospel is open-hearted, it says, “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21). On the other […]
A Gay Writer Who ‘Forgot Almost Everything Jesus Said’

The statement was so remarkable I had to read it several times before I was sure my eyes were not deceiving me. It turns out the author meant exactly what he wrote, namely that, “Only once in the recorded life of Jesus does he lay upon the human a requirement.” Yes, this is the stated […]
Pastor Slams Those Who Say, “Don’t be Political – Just Preach the Gospel”

God has given us a wonderful gift known as America. The government isn’t bad or good; her people determine success or failure. Why would God ordain our government and then not want us to steward His gift? Many have been guilty of not getting involved by saying, “We shouldn’t say or do anything political. All […]
Christian Cannabis: are you taking a lend of us?

“Come to me all who are weary and burdened,” says the Lord, “and I will give you rest.” In this crazy, busy, hyper-stressed world, I wonder how people make it through without being able to just rest and talk to their Creator. I am not normally one to write political articles or judgmental pieces, but […]
The Jewish People Are Like Everyone Else, Only More So

In the event you don’t have time to read this whole article, here’s a two-sentence summary. The Jewish people are like everyone else, with strengths and weaknesses, good qualities and bad qualities. At the same time, the Jewish people often have a disproportionate influence on society, for good or for bad. If you listen to […]
No, Jesus Was Not a Palestinian

Let’s set the record straight. Jesus was a Galilean Jew, not a Palestinian Muslim. He celebrated Passover, not Ramadan, and he was called “Rabbi” not “Imam.” His followers were named Yaakov and Yochanan and Yehudah, not Muhammad and Abdullah and Khalid. And he himself had one of the most common Jewish names of the day: […]
