Rebellion against God inevitably and crucially involves rebellion against his Creation which underpins so much of ethics and morality. It is foundational.
If we, as informed Christians, support politicians and educators whose firm commitment is sexual confusion by indoctrination of our children, then we too are guilty of allowing our little ones to be led into sin.
And the battles of our time are very, very deep in their significance of warfare in Deep Heaven.
Firstly, by the outright rebellion against and direct attack on God’s Creation order of masculinity and femininity and the institution of marriage.
Secondly, by the attack – relatively new for our generation in our part of Western civilisation – directly on the church itself, the Body of Christ. To silence it, to divide it, to destroy our freedom to teach our children about our Christian faith.
Last evening I was privileged to be present at the Perth book launch of Dr David van Gend’s book “Stealing from a Child: the Injustice of ‘Marriage Equality”. Its truth needs telling to all.
It is topical in our community. Talk about it. The people of Australia need to know. And it needs to be told from our pulpits. The Creation account needs to be told again.
I watched a movie last night (very unusual but I needed some time out). It was the story of Esther. Not one I would bother watching again but it sheathed home the message “for such a time as this”.
Please come to the Marriage Rally this coming Sunday in your capital city (in WA west end of Langley Park 2pm). See http://unityaustralia.org/ for detail and map.
Will we be a Confessing Church? The time is now. We live in perilous times. The Body of Christ is under serious attack. Our Christian brothers and sisters in other parts of the world are in peril physically on a scale as never before. We praise God for their witness as they confess Jesus as […]
Please look at the link and make the need for prayer known. He has been battered by the press and this will be un-relenting. Physical danger cannot be dismissed. There will, no doubt, be those who report him to Medical Board.

But all this pales compared with the bitter, abusive attacks from the homosexual lobby and threats of discrimination against anyone with the temerity to defend the age-hallowed tradition of marriage as exclusively between man and woman and children should have mothers and fathers.
There always was and always will be a spiritual battle going on until Christ comes. For now, in Australia, it seems to be more intense and I have sought to illustrate this intensity today. We have highlighted attitudes: being awake, to have an appropriate and continung sense of grief – mixed with joy, how to vote, and to be desperate in our personal relationship with God. Finally, with a call to be involved in this battle through prayer and to be prepared for the attacks that inevitably follow.
In line with other ethical and moral legal permissions that become compulsions there are consequences to losing this battle in that we are then compelled to go along with the lies that have become enshrined in law. Our freedom to speak truth to society and to our children is at risk and will be interpreted as vilification and intolerance.
Humanity’s greatest crisis, medicine’s greatest challenge, society’s greatest risk – our future is under attack in three critical areas with interlocking themes of risks to freedom of speech, belief and conscience, the manipulation of life and death, and the re-shaping of Australian society by minority group pressure.
