To Be or not To Be: Why Existence Is Good

March 20, 2013 No Comments

A common objection raised against the existence of God is the existence of evil: How can there be a God since evil exists? Or if there is a God, then does not the existence of evil show that he himself must be cruel or evil? Both of these questions actually derive from a more basic question yet: Is existence itself good or bad? This is not an idle question, nor is it solely a matter for theologians. It has very practical and personal implications.

How to Tell Who is a Child of God and Who a Child of the Devil

February 19, 2011 No Comments

The answer to this question is given explicitly and repeatedly in 1 John 3, and elsewhere in the book of 1 John. Jesus also referred to it on the Sermon on the Mount.

Complicated theologies which attempt to discount the importance of repentance from dead works in truly coming to Christ and staying with Christ cannot be reconciled with John’s simple test of who actually IS a child of God.

Trashy pop culture is one of Satan’s ways of mocking the human race

June 13, 2010 No Comments

One of my favourite writers on the Sydney Morning Heard website (which at times should probably be called the Sydney Porning Herald because of its fondness for publishing titillating articles to do with all things sexy) is Miranda Devine. This lady says a lot of sensible things and her recent article: Flash of Fame spreads Sluttiness, made some really salient points about the direction our culture is going.
