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

From the Frontline-Episode 35-Reformation 500

Working for Reformation Today

What is the difference between Reformation and Revival? What is our responsibility when we are confronted by so many social ills and confusion, compromise and cowardice in too many churches? What hope is there for the future? What can we practically do to make a bold stand for Biblical standards in this day of compromise and confusion? Join us tonight as we upload our latest From the Frontline podcast on http://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/, available on www.FrontlineMissionSA.org from 21:00 tonight, Tuesday, 2 October. We will be discussing the Reformation 500 movement and Sola Scriptura and a range of new resources and materials that can empower and equip you to work for Reformation and pray for Revival today.

“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 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
