In this episode we talk about "faith". What does it mean when a Christian says "faith" and what does it mean when a non-believer says "faith". Clarifying this issue can help us not to talk past each other, using the same word to mean two very different things.

In this episode we look at the heresy of universalism and see if the Bible really says that all will be saved.

In this episode we interact with a recent vote in the New South Wales parliament to enforce 150mtr exclusion zones around abortion clinics. This means no side walk counselling, preaching, signs or anything of this sort can come within 150mtrs of an abortion clinic to try and convince those going into the clinics to drastically reconsider.

This podcast is another slightly podcastier version of a couple of sermons I preached a few months ago on Psalm 1. Have a listen and share it with a friend.

God bless and Soli Deo Gloria.

Inspired by an introduction by Tash Sultana at Bluesfest over Easter, this podcast speaks about "cultural totalitarianism" and the worrying decline of personal liberty and the Christian worldview going on in Australia and many other places.

This podcast was birthed from a course on how God speaks uniquely to you, that I saw on Facebook. In it I don't so much comment on whether God speaks outside of His Word today, but raise concern over the increasing tendency in courses such as this in their moving away from God's Word and to other experiences/methods of receiving His revelation.

In this show we talk a bit about the roles of government from a Biblical point of view. What should governments do? What should they not do? Should they be as involved in our lives as they are? How should we vote? This show will by no means conclusively answer all of these questions, but should help get your juices flowing. There is more that could be said, Biblically, about governments - let this podcast drive you to the Bible to see what God has said governments should be doing!

In this episode we talk about Proverbs 27:17 "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another." Sometimes we use this verse as a justification for nastiness, but is that really what it's about?

Dig in to this short explanation of a beautiful verse.
