From The Frontline-Episode 132-UN Deception Operation Targets Africa for Abortion

UN Deception Operation Targets Africa for Abortion

Just as George Orwell’s dystopian 1984 novel describes the Ministry of Truth as dealing in lies, disinformation and propaganda, the Ministry of Peace waging war, the Ministry of Love engaging in torture and the Ministry of Plenty dealing with rationing and ensuring shortages and starvation, the recent  U.N. Disinformation and Distortion propaganda is a classic of Newspeak Double Think disinformation and inverted reality. 

“Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for Me against the workers of iniquity?” 

Psalm 94:16

EFFECTIVE EVANGELISM in a TIME of LOCKDOWN LUNACY

Last week, we mobilised a city wide evangelistic campaign which included displays and contact tables in four shopping malls and mass literature distribution at traffic lights, in parks and on the streets of Cape Town. Inevitably there were some attempts to disrupt our outreaches, however, the responses were overwhelmingly positive. We mobilised 57 volunteers in 6 teams to conduct outreaches in 8 areas of Cape Town, collectively distributing over 14,000 Gospel booklets, leaflets, New Testaments and Bibles. We had the joy of counselling and praying with a number of responsive people and were encouraged by those who said that this initiative had inspired them to organise their own outreaches. What can we learn from this experience and how can we be effective in fulfilling the Great Commission in a time of unprecedented restrictions and state interference in church activities?

“Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim the good news of His Salvation from day to day. Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.”

1 Chronicles 16:23-24

From The Frontline-Episode 130-Toxic Terminology and the War on Free Speech

TOXIC TERMINOLOGY and the WAR on FREE SPEECH

Have you had the frustrating experience of trying to communicate with someone who seems triggered by the words you use into jumping to conclusions which condemn you for things you never even thought to say? Have you become exasperated at how simple words and concepts can be so hijacked and distorted into the opposite of what you intended? Perhaps you have experienced people poisoning the well so that, despite your best intentions, your motives have become not only suspect, but outrageously misconstrued? Join us as we discuss Toxic Terminology and the War on Free Speech.

 

“Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips; whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.”

Romans 3:13-18

From The Frontline-Episode 129-Weaponising Words in the World War of Worldviews

Weaponising Words in the World War of Worldviews
Today, we seem to be involved in a world war of worldviews and in this war, words are weapons. Terminology can be toxic. How consistent is the conversation? Is there a double-standard in the popular narrative? How can we understand the political debate raging on the news reports and in the streets today? Can we take at face value what political activists are saying? What they are saying and what they mean, doesn’t always seem to be the same thing, does it? How can we understand the underlying philosophies and world views behind many, apparently innocent, comments? How can we translate the terminology that all too often seems toxic? If words have become weaponised, what can we learn from the worldviews of destruction? What does the Bible say about words, communication and conversation? Are there resources that can help us to unravel the rhetoric and decipher the debate?

“But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.”

Matthew 5:37
