From the Frontline-Episode 54-Hate Crimes, Thought Crimes and Thought Police

Thought Crimes, Thought Police and Threats to Freedom of Speech

We will be discussing the rise of all Orwellian Thought Police and the new “Hate Speech” bill which effectively makes thought crimes of Biblical teaching and freedom of conscience. Understanding the array of legislation being considered to interfere with freedom of thought, freedom of conscience, freedom of religion and freedom of the press, we will explore how we as Christians should respond to these intrusive political campaigns to undermine our essential freedoms. In the face of this series of unworkable, unnecessary and unconstitutional bills that are being considered in the South African parliament, Christians need to urgently pray and act to resist these intrusions on religious freedom. 

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with the yolk of bondage.” 

Galatians 5:1

Back to the Bible Movement

By God's grace we have completed another important component of our Back to the Bible Reformation project launched over six years ago. The New Testament Survey is expected back from the printer this week. Our Old Testament Survey was published over two and a half years ago. The Audio MP3 of both the Old Testament Survey and New Testament Survey are now available in audio format, with all the sermons preached summarising the key messages of each Book of the Bible. 

 

From the Frontline-Episode 52-Meltdown in Zimbabwe

Meltdown in Zimbabwe

With the current unrest, riots, police and military brutality, closed roads and blocked borders, Zimbabwe is in a terrifying nightmare. Sources tell us that citizens are attacking police and military out of frustration over oppression. Zimbabwean leadership has responded by beating citizens in the streets, burning down houses, and clamping down on communication. Some are calling this “civil war”. How did all this come about? Why are people so angry and why is the current government of Zimbabwe brutalizing its people? Join us this week as we unpack the complicated and disastrous situation in Zimbabwe and seek to provide a Biblical response. 

From the Frontline-Episode 51-Why Does God not Stop all the Suffering

Why Does God Not Stop All the Suffering?

Please tune in from 21:00 tonight, 22 January, for the latest From the Frontline radio podcast www.FrontlineMissionSA.org, available on http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/ as we respond to the common objection: Why Does God Not Stop All the Suffering? Oscar Wilde claimed that suffering proved that a good God does not govern the world. If God cannot stop the suffering, then He is not all-powerful. If God will not stop the suffering, then He cannot be good and loving. The faulty logic and wrong conclusion evidenced by Oscar Wilde is quite common. Many question God's goodness, power, or even existence, because of suffering in the world. Poverty, disease, war, natural and man-made disasters – why does God not bring it all to an end?

“The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

2 Peter 3:9

How Can a Good God Allow Evil?

Please tune in from 21:00 tonight, for the latest From the Frontline radio podcast www.FrontlineMissionSA.org, available on http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/ as we respond to the common objection: How Can a Good God Allow Evil? As we are in the middle of our intensive three-week Great Commission Course with daily outreaches and practicals, on the streets, in hospitals, we frequently encounter people who question the goodness of God in allowing evil. Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do so many good things happen to bad people? How should we respond and what can we do to make sense out of suffering?

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.”

Romans 8:28

From the Frontline-Episode 46-The Power of Evangelism and Discipleship to Transform Lives

John and I will be discussing how we can be more effective in evangelism and discipleship, especially during the Christmas season. Wise men seek Christ. We need to give Christ our time, talents and treasure. Our, hands, feet, lips, heart and  life. He deserves all our worship, obedience, sacrifice, attention and adoration. Do we recognise the many evangelistic and discipleship opportunities around us?

 “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
