From the Frontline-Episode 34-Where God Guides, He Provides

By God's grace, Daniel has returned from our Africa Reformation Overland Mission through Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania and Namibia. Join us tonight as we will be interviewing Daniel on what the Mission discovered and achieved during these months of the Overland Mission to some remote and needy areas in central Africa.

“The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad.”

Psalm 126:3

From the Frontline-Episode 33-The Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer

In 1982, I heard Brother Andrew present a bold prayer project at Hospital Christian Fellowship: “We are going to launch a Seven-Year Jericho Prayer March to bring down the Iron Curtain and open up Russia and Eastern Europe to the Gospel!” At the time, I remember being somewhat bewildered. I had been to the Berlin Wall and seen the Iron Curtain. Like many others in the 1980s, I was convinced that the Iron Curtain was a permanent fact of life and that it would be up until Jesus returned. However, seven years later, in 1989, we saw the culminative effect of that concentrated focus of persistent prayer, as the Berlin Wall came down and the Iron Curtain collapsed and all of Eastern Europe and Russia were opened up for freedom of religion! 

“If you abide in Me and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire and it shall be done for you.” 

John 15:7

From the Frontline-Episode 32-Why Sould I Care About Dates and Dead People

Frequently we hear expressions of exasperations against the teaching of History.

“What possible relevance could all those events of long ago have for me today?”

Well, take 9/11. Did those responsible for the terror attacks 17 years ago just choose an arbitrary date for the aircraft hijackings and attacks on 11 September 2001? Those who know the history of Islamic Jihad can point out that the 11^th of September is a most significant date for Jihadists. Tune into our programme and learn what else significantly happened on 11 September. It is an extraordinary story of Christian courage against all odds, as seen during the siege of Malta and the siege of Vienna. It includes the origin of croissants, bagels and cappuccinos.

“Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted… Now all these things happened to them as examples and they were written for our admonition…”

1 Corinthians 10:6-11

From the Frontline-Episode 31-Missionary Strategies for the Local Church

Tonight we will be discussing strategies for local churches to pray for and support missionaries. We want to be people who are fervent and effective in prayer. God’s people should pray specific, focused prayers according to the will of God. Similarly, we want to be people who support missions as good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us. Many wonder how they can know who to support and how to support them. We will discuss all these issues and provide practical advice.

“Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest”

Matthew 9:38

From the Frontline-Episode 30-The Real Scandal Behind the Sex-Abuse Crisis in Roman Catholicism

Tonight we will be evaluating the scandal behind the high profile sex-abuse crisis in Roman Catholicism. The paedophilia tolerated and covered up for so many years within the Roman Catholic institutions and hierarchy, is indeed a terrible scandal. However, there is an even bigger scandal behind it. The overwhelming majority of the victims were males in their teens. The fact that the vast majority of the predator priests were homosexuals is generally being suppressed in the media reports. Sociologist and clergy abuse expert, Richard Sipe, calculated that at least 30% of Catholic priests are homosexual. With increasing pressure on churches to accept homosexuals into their ranks, it is particularly dishonest when the same media promoting the LGBTQ agenda start screaming “Abuse!” when many of the people they have been campaigning for, turn out to abuse the young boys entrusted to their care.

“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie...”

Romans 1:24-25

From the Frontline-Episode 29-How Marxism Undermines Christian Civilisation

Tonight we will be discussing the long-term strategy and short-term tactics utilised by Marxist Revolutionaries to infiltrate, subvert and undermine Christian civilisation. Even more importantly, we will be looking at how we can recognise, resist, redeem, restore and work for Reformation and Revival.

“Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.”

Isaiah 58:12

From the Frontline-Episode 28-Back to the Bible for Reformation and Revival

Tonight I will be interviewing authors John Clifford and Hunter Combs on their new publication, the Biblical Preaching Handbook. Our missionaries have felt burdened with the dangerous lack of depth from all too many pulpits. It is in response to the pervasive shallowness of preaching that they have written this practical handbook. The Biblical Preaching Handbook deals with the character of the preacher, the method of sermon preparation and the delivery of the message. It is our hope that this book will inspire, empower and equip pastors to preach through the whole counsel of God, instruct the Body of Christ in the way of righteousness, to stand firm in the battle for the Faith and lead the people of God in grace and truth.

“So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it”

Isaiah 55:11

From the Frontline-Episode 27-Fraud, Failure and Farce at the Land Expropriation Hearings

Tonight we will be reporting back on the parliamentary hearings on Expropriation Without Compensation. Last week we conducted a Media Workshop on Farms and Freedoms Under Fire in South Africa and took part in several of the local hearings. We witnessed classic communist agitprop (agitation propaganda) Active Measures mob tactics, where rent-a-mob bussing-in of agitators wearing EFF red jackets and beret’s crowded out Capetonians and loudly drowned out the attempts of local people to give verbal testimony. It was evident by the clumsy sloganeering that the vast majority of the masses being mobilised have no understanding of the issues at stake, or how they will personally suffer if this expropriation without compensation agenda is implemented.

“The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.”

Psalm 55:21

From the Frontline-Episode 26-Understanding the Zimbabwe Crisis

Tonight we will be explaining the catastrophic consequences of communism in Zimbabwe and how Mugabe’s socialist policies and disastrous “Land Reform” policy effectively committed economic suicide and turned what was once “the bread basket of Africa” into a “basket case” with the worst hyperinflation ever seen in history. As well as an unprecedented exodus where over half of the total population of the country fled across the border to escape starvation and oppression. What can we expect from the recent elections and what does the future hold for Zimbabwe?

“For the nation and kingdom which will not serve You shall perish and those nations shall be utterly ruined.”

Isaiah 60:12

From the Frontline-Episode 25-Protecting our Families and Churches from Attacks

Tonight we will be discussing practical steps that we can take to protect our families and churches from attack. At this time of crime, violence, instability and increasing threats against Christians worldwide, it is necessary to be prepared. If your home or church is attacked by terrorists, would you know what to do? On a daily basis, how secure are your loved ones and your possessions?

“But if anyone does not provide for his own and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

1 Timothy 5:8
