Why Communists Strive to Rename Cities and Streets
The announcement, on Heritage Day, by the ANC president that they planned to rename cities and remove historic monuments from the “colonial” past, raises the question: Why should a government mired in corruption scandals be so concerned to waste time and money changing the names of cities and streets? What possible motive could a government for wanting to promote the Cancel Culture obsession with rewriting history? Do we have any examples in history of other governments striving to change the names of cities and streets and removing monuments? Why are historic monuments important? How should we, as Christians, respond to such agendas? What resources are available to help us understand the battle over history, the importance of monuments and the communist agenda to break down “every tie of blood, soil, nation, race, religion and allegiance?”
“That this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, ‘What do these stones mean to you? ’…and these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel forever.”
Joshua 4:6-7

When Ministries are Hijacked
It is distressing to hear negative reports about ministries, missions and churches, which once were such powerhouses for the fulfilment of the Great Commission. There are many warnings in Scripture against false prophets, false teachers and false shepherds. What is happening to so many denominations worldwide? Why do churches split? To what extent are we dealing with important doctrinal issues and how often is it not personality clashes, ambitions, greed and envy, behind the schisms? What can we learn from the Bible concerning ministries which go off the rails? What can we learn from history? What can we practically do in our time, to preserve the legacy and effectiveness of faithful ministries? How can we be more effective stewards of the precious resources that have been entrusted to us?
“Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.”
1 Corinthians 4:2

Identifying the Agenda Behind Saturation Media Coverage
Why is it that some issues and events receive 24/7 saturation media focus, while other vastly more important issues, seem to be glossed over, or ignored? Are we merely dealing with isolated cases of selective outrage, or is there an agenda? Are media headlines random? Or can we discern a pattern? Why are some posts and interviews deleted, de-platformed and scrubbed from the internet? Is there censorship of opinions on major internet platforms? How independent are our newspapers and TV stations? Who owns the main stream media? Who determines what is focussed on and what new items get spiked, shelved, or vapourised? How much of the big stories focussed on in wall to wall saturation media coverage are actually distractions from the really important issues? What really was the story behind the Click bad hair day? Can shampoo be used as a smoke screen? Where can we find unbiased and balanced news sources? How can we discern between news and views? Information or disinformation?

Countering the Subversion of Language
George Orwell warned in his 1984 Novel, that governments tend to abuse language to make theft and murder sound respectable. Seldom before in history can language have been so subverted in education, entertainment, the news media and particular in politics so as to promote more confusion and disinformation than communication.How did power failure black outs become “load shedding”?
How did violent terrorism become “protests”?
How did malicious damage to property, looting and arson become “freedom of expression”?
How did rational free speech become labelled as “hate speech”?!
How did abortion, the killing of an innocent baby, become “pro-choice.”, “TOP”, “Removal of the product of conception”?
How did blatant racial discrimination, race quotas and race politics become acceptable “politically correct”, BBBEE Affirmative Action?
How could mass-murder be described as “collateral damage”?
How could gangster state criminal corruption, looting of the economy be described as “government”?
How can Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) pornographic child abuse be presented as “education”?!
How can we counter the pervasive newspeak, double think, propaganda which is eroding freedom of speech today?

How Propaganda Changes Perceptions and People
The first casualty in war is truth. It should be obvious that we are involved in a world war of worldviews. The violence on the streets is the inevitable result of decades of disinformation in media, decadence in entertainment and indoctrination in schools and on university campuses.
“…Jesus said… and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”
