From the Frontline-Episode 44-Hope and Vision for the Future

Hope and Vision for the Future

Please tune in tonight for the latest From the Frontline podcast on www.FrontlineMissionSA.org, available on http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/ from 21:00 tonight, Tuesday, 4 December. Hunter, John and I will be discussing Biblical hope and vision for the future. Many Christians today are discouraged and downcast. Many seem to have succumbed to a negative and defeatest view of the future. Paralysed by pessimism, many passive pew-warmers pray for the rapture to rescue them out of their responsibilities, yet, if we were to rightly divide the Word of Truth and correctly understand the signs of the times, we would return to the fight of Faith with renewed vigour and revitalised vision.

“All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules over the nations.”

Psalm 22:27-28

From the Frontline-Episode 43-Understanding the World War of Worldviews

Understanding the World War of Worldviews Confronting Us Today

Please tune in tonight for the latest From the Frontline podcast on www.FrontlineMissionSA.org, available on http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/ from 21:00 tonight, Tuesday, 27 November. We will be discussing the world war of worldviews, which is raging particularly on university campuses today. Statistically, 75% of young people from Christian homes who enrol at university stop attending church within four years. If any army was to lose three quarters of its forces, it would not only be considered a defeat – but a disaster!

Universities have not always been the temples of secular humanism and cesspools of moral decadence that they have all too often become today. There was a time when universities were centres of Biblical Reformation and Revival. Many of the greatest Christian Reformers were university professors. This included: Professor John Wycliffe of Oxford; Jan Hus of the University of Prague; Martin Luther of the University of Wittenberg; John Calvin, the Founder of the Academy of Geneva and William Tyndale, the man who translated the Bible into English, was a Graduate of both Oxford and Cambridge. What can we do to reclaim our universities for Christ?

“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world and not according to Christ.”

Colossians 2:8

From the Frontline-Episode 42-Joyful, Prayerful and Thankful

Joyful, Prayerful and Thankful

Please tune in tonight for the latest From the Frontline podcast on www.FrontlineMissionSA.org, available on http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/ from 21:00 tonight, Tuesday, 20 November. We will be discussing Thanksgiving. In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17, we are commanded: “Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.” Plainly it is God's will for us to be joyful, prayerful and thankful. There is no duty more urgent than that of returning thanks to our Creator, Saviour, Lord and Eternal Judge. A thankful heart is the parent of all virtues. Lack of gratitude is a root sin.

“Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon His Name; make known His deeds among the peoples! …Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.”

1 Chronicles 16:8,34.

Acts 20:24

From the Frontline-Episode 37-The Sovereignty of God

The Sovereignty of God

A.W. Pink wrote: “To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that God is God. To say that God is Sovereign is to declare that He is the Most High, doing according to His will in the army of Heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth, so that none can stay His hand or say unto Him what doest Thou? Daniel 4:35.” Join us tonight for our latest From the Frontline podcast on www.FrontlineMissionSA.org, available on http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/ at 21:00, Tuesday, 16 October. We will be discussing what it means when we say that God is sovereign and how that affects everything in our lives.

“The Lord has established His Throne in Heaven and His Kingdom rules over all”

Psalms 103:19.

From the Frontline-Episode 36-Implications of the Atonement

The Atonement is one of the most foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. It describes the way in which sinners are reconciled to God. Flowing from the Atonement, the clear New Testament teaching is reconciliation and unity within the Body of Christ. What does this mean for the individual, the community, culture and society at large? Join us tonight for our latest From the Frontline podcast on www.FrontlineMissionSA.org, available on http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/ at 21:00 tonight, Tuesday, 9 October. We will be discussing how the atonement affects our relationship with God and our relationships with each other in a world full of hostility.

“For He Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility”

Ephesians 2:14
