The BATTLE for the MIND in the NEWS MEDIA
Every day we are influenced by media. Whether through posters, billboards, social media, newspapers, TV, Twitter, Facebook, or a host of other media, which often gives us views instead of just news. While claiming to be neutral, newspaper journalists and TV presenters often report the news from an anti-Christian point of view. At one time, especially in the 19th century, most leading newspapers were Christian. However, there has been a major shift in the news media on what is covered and how it is covered. Instead of the wide-angle lens of context, all too often, the zoom lens of selective focus has predominated. Is there an agenda? Or are we dealing merely with bias and prejudice?

War on History - Monuments Under Attack
Amongst the many lessons we can learn from the French Revolution, is that economic bankruptcy prepares the way for riots and revolution. Anarchy in the streets inevitably leads to tyranny in government. As we witness the rise of regurgitated revolution and a new generation of cultural commissars for communism, we need to understand how atheism, economic determinism and dialectical materialism guide revolutions to this day. What role does Social Darwinism play in revolution? In what way are all revolutions related to the French Revolution of 1789? Do these revolutions ever produce what they promise? What attracts so many people to support revolutionary movements? How can we best reach those who are caught up in these movements? What Biblical teachings would help us to understand the proper role of government? What can we practically do to be part of the solution, rather than the problem? What hope is there for the future?
“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption…”

40 Years Ago – The Grahamstown Evangelistic Mission
40 Years ago, I organised one of the largest Evangelistic crusades to ever be held in a military base. This extraordinary event, the Grahamstown Evangelistic Mission grew out of the daily Bible study and Prayer group that I ran in the 6th South African Infantry Battalion. The events that led to this major event, were a series of incredible answers to prayer. The results continue to have ripple effects throughout mission fields worldwide. What was involved in the Grahamstown Evangelistic Mission? How did it come about? What were the obstacles that needed to be overcome? Who was invited as guest speakers and musicians for this event? What preparation needed to be done? What follow up was planned? What was the cost of this event? In what way did the Grahamstown Evangelistic Mission lead to the founding of Frontline Fellowship and its ongoing mission? What can we learn from this event? Is it possible for such Evangelistic events to be organised today?
“Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction.”
