From the Frontline: Time to Mobilise the Silent Majority

It is disturbing that more than half of eligible voters do not bother to vote in either national or municipal elections. Yet when you speak to many of these people, they say, "what difference can I make?" When more than half of the voters are saying that they don’t believe that their vote can make a difference, then there is something radically wrong!

"You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment. You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous."

Deuteronomy 16:18-19

From the Frontline-Episode 189-When Authorities Abuse

From the Frontline: When Authorities Abuse

How are we as Christians to respond when authorities abuse their power? What should we do when the protectors become persecutors? What does the Bible teach on authority, accountability and our attitudes and actions in times of conflict? With increasingly arbitrary decrees that are complicating the lives of millions, shutting down churches, criminalising free-speech, suppressing outreaches and crippling the businesses and livelihoods of multiplied millions, how are we to respond? What is the solution to the abuse of authority?

“They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because He is the Lord of lords and King of kings – and with Him will be His called, chosen and faithful followers.”

What are some of the Biblical principles that lead to success in life? What are some of the seeds of failure?

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him and He shall bring it to pass.”

Psalm 37:3 - 5

From the Frontline: Life and Liberty

Life and liberty are under attack as never before. The right to life of pre-born babies is being ignored by governments whose primary duty is to protect innocent life. Freedom of conscience is threatened as medical professionals are bullied to participate in abortion. It is absolutely vital that we speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, that we have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

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

Psalm 94:16

From the Frontline: Mobilise Prayer and Action for the Persecuted

Over 400 million Christians live in the 66 countries of the world which severely restrict, or persecute, believers. Every year, an average of 200,000 Christians die as martyrs for Christ. Christian brothers and sisters are being persecuted for the Faith. How can we effectively serve the persecuted ?

"Remember the prisoners as if chained with them - those who are mistreated - since you yourselves are in the body also."

From the Frontline: 9/11 Terrorism, Afghanistan and the Biblical Solution

This week we mark 20 years since the shocking terrorism that brought down the World Trade Centre in New York and launched the 20 year war in Afghanistan.

What have we learned over these last two decades? How can we effectively counter and uproot terrorism? What can we practically do to make our world safer and to lay solid foundations for freedom in future generations?

"The desert tribes will bow down to Him and His enemies will lick the dust… All kings will bow down to Him and all nations will serve Him."

From the Frontline: Building Bridges with Muslims

How can we reach out cross-culturally to those from an Islamic background? Daniel and Hunter discuss this important issue and consider how to effectively communicate the Gospel to Muslim friends and neighbours. As we reach out to those from different cultural and religious backgrounds we want to

“…become all things to all people, that by all means might save some.”

From the Frontline-Episode 183-Afganistan a Trail of Betrayal

From the Frontline: Afghanistan – A Trail of Betrayal

What is going on in Afghanistan? How are Christians in Afghanistan to survive in this very chaotic and hostile environment? Why did the American forces so abruptly abandon Afghanistan, without even giving warning to their Allies that they would be doing so? What is to happen to the thousands of American and other foreign nationals trapped behind enemy lines in Afghanistan? How are we to understand the times and know what we should do?

“For when they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them, … and they shall not escape.”

From the Frontline-Episode 181-Introduction to the Muslim Insider Movement

From the Frontline: Understanding the Muslim Insider Movement

With a longing to see Muslims come to Christ, there has been much discussion over how to minister in these contexts. How do we effectively contextualize the gospel within Islamic communities? Must Muslims give up their Muslim identity to follow Christ? Or can they retain it as a "Muslim follower of Jesus”? Put another way, is Islam redeemable? Is it at its core simply a culture with practices and customs that can be done in obedience to Christ, or is it most centrally a religion with distinct doctrine from the truths of the Bible? How can we be most faithful to the Scriptures and affective in reaching Muslims for Christ?Join us in this introductory discussion on the Muslim Insider Movement.
