I picked up my copy of The Israel Bible the other day. I’m still getting used to reading back to front and left to right and I doubt that I’ll master Hebrew. It’s a good thing that there’s a parallel English translation! As it turned out, my eyes fell upon

Matthew 21 records the so-called Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. In the following few chapters, Matthew then records the cleansing of the Temple, several parables and some deeply political exchanges between Jesus and the Scribes and Pharisees. These exchanges prompted the disciples to go to Jesus

That None Should Perish. I suspect that members of PIFA have more in common with Abraham than Jonah. It is recorded in Genesis 18:22-33 that Abraham pleaded with God to save Sodom for the sake of the righteous, first 50, then 45, then 40 and, eventually, just 10. Of course,

My wife, Jeanette, and I have recently returned from Uganda where we visited churches and schools supported by our church. We also spoke at ‘The Great Mega Life Changing Believers and Leaders Conference’ in Gweri, a village near Fort Portal in western Uganda. There were around 200 people there. What

From time-to-time posts on our Telegram chat take on a political nature. Some people think Christians shouldn’t “get political”, but Jesus certainly did. His very use of the term ‘Kingdom of God” (nearly 70 times in Mark and Luke) and “Kingdom of Heaven” (in Matthew, 34 times) was political. If

Islam And Christianity Are Incompatible. Dr Rod St Hill. If you are reading this, you probably don’t need to be told that Australia needs intercessors. I thank God for PIFA and honour those who lead us in interceding for Australia. Hatred for Jews is palpable in our nation. The dreadful

Intercessory Prayer For The family And Nation Is Urgent. I am persuaded that we are living in the last of the last days. Western civilisation, which was built on the radical idea that every person has value because each of us is created by and loved by God, is in

Ephesians 1:3-14 assures us of our blessings as Christians, as people who are ‘in Christ.’ In the original Greek, these verses are one, long sentence of over 200 words. Today’s English readers can barely cope with a sentence longer than 50 words! Hence, English translations split up this sentence but
