From the Frontline-Episode 64-Churches Under Attack

Churches Under Attack

The Bombing of churches in Egypt and Sri Lanka, vandalism and arson attacks in France, including the iconic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris and a spate of arson attacks against churches in South Africa need to be examined, exposed and evaluated. How are we as Christians to respond? What can we practically do to prepare and to protect our churches and mission bases from malicious attack?

“… on this rock I will build My Church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”

Matthew 16:18

From the Frontline-Episode 63-Understanding the Crises in Sudan Today

Understanding the Crisis in Sudan Today

Tonight John and I will be discussing the turmoil, protests, violent crackdowns on dissent and military coup which has apparently removed dictator Omar al-Bashir from power. This officially ends 30 years of Omar al-Bashir’s dictatorship, the longest in recent Sudan history. There have been six Coup d'état/revolutions/violent changes of government in Sudan since the British left their protectorate at the end of 1955. Omar al-Bashir is the subject of international arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). He is wanted for trial on war crimes and genocide committed in Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan/the Nuba Mountains. Most importantly, how can we best pray and what can we practically do to help Christians under siege in Islamic Sudan?

“…Cush will submit herself to God.” 

Psalm 68:31

From the Frontline-Episode 62-Lessons from the Rwandan Holocaust

Lessons from the Rwandan Holocaust – 25 Year Later

Tonight We will be exploring: What happened? Why it happened? Who was targeted? Who were accessories to the mass-murder? And What lessons we can learn from the tragic events of April/May 1994 that are relevant for us today?

“…Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord? Therefore the wrath of the Lord is upon you.”

2 Chronicles 19:2

From the Frontline-Episode 61-The Gospel in Africa

The Gospel in Africa

Tonight Hunter Combs and I will consider some threats to the Gospel which we have encountered in the field, including some common misconceptions of Faith and Repentance. We will discuss some root causes in these distortions of the truth and offer some Scriptural solutions.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new”

2 Corinthians 5:17

From the Frontline-Episode 60-Mozambique, Nigeria and Sudan

Mozambique, Nigeria and Sudan

Tonight we will be discussing the devastating cyclone Idai which has killed hundreds of people in Mozambique and Zimbabwe, causing catastrophic damage in and around Beira in Southern/Central Mozambique. We will also be reporting back on the ongoing persecution of Christians in Northern Nigeria and major missionary projects planned for Sudan.

“…‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’”

Matthew 25:40

From the Frontline-Episode 59-South Africa A Country in Crisis

South Africa – A Country in Crisis

Tonight Emma will be interviewing me concerning the myriad of crises which are confronting South Africa at this time. As I have just returned from a Mission driving across South Africa, I was able to learn first-hand from school principals, teachers, pastors, missionaries, farmers, police and politicians, some of the disturbing and bewildering array of threats which many South Africans have to deal with on a daily basis. There are important developments we need to know about and some inspiring examples of resilience and resistance of many brave and bold Christian witnesses working in difficult and dangerous situations, shining the light of Christ, evangelising in their communities and making a positive difference.

“…what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?”

Micah 6:8

From the Frontline-Episode 58-Responding to the Homosexual Agenda in SA

Responding to the Homosexual Crisis in South Africa

Recently the high court in Gauteng overruled a Dutch Reformed synod decision to ban homosexual marriage and openly homosexual ministers in the church. Should the government do this? How do we respond? What does the Bible say about sodomy?

“Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the Kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-11

Back to the Bible for Reformation and Revival

Tonight we will be discussing recent developments and the Back to the Bible for Reformation and Revival vision and strategy.

“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

2 Timothy 3:16-17

From the Frontline-Episode 55-Uganda For Christ

Uganda for Christ

Tonight I will be interviewing our Missionary, Abrie, who has safely returned from a month-long Mission to Uganda. This strategic, central African country has come through the fires of the Ugandan holocaust under brutal dictator Idi Amin, which wiped out hundreds-of-thousands of Christians to become one of the fastest growing churches in the world today.
