The book, Why There Really Is A God – And What You Need To Know About Him, is a well-written and thoughtfully organized exploration of the arguments for and against the existence of God. It has a balanced approach, with common counterarguments, scientific challenges, and philosophical objections also fairly represented and discussed. Its accessible style makes it a valuable resource for anyone interested in this fundamental question. For those already familiar with apologetics, the book may serve as a useful synthesis of various arguments presented in a coherent and accessible manner.
For skeptics, the book offers a direct engagement with the questions and objections they might raise, providing the author’s reasoned responses. It is a book that encourages critical thinking, inviting readers to engage with the evidence and draw their own conclusions. Whether you are a creationist, an atheist, or somewhere in between, this book can offer you a thorough review of one of the most important debates in human history without appearing one-sided.
Why There Really is a God is a valuable resource for a variety of readers. It serves as a useful reference for creationists seeking to strengthen their own position, providing a well-organized and comprehensive overview of foundational evidence. It is also an excellent introduction for those who are undecided or unsure about their beliefs, offering balanced and fair-minded reasoning. Even confirmed atheists will find the book thought-provoking, as it presents the arguments for God’s existence in a clear and compelling manner.
The text aligns with its stated aim of engaging “someone who is openminded enough to engage with the best arguments for (and against) God, and fair-minded enough to change their view if the evidence points in that direction” (p. 6). Wilson successfully creates a space for genuine inquiry, encouraging readers to think critically about the evidence and come to their own conclusions.
Using the Bible, well-documented historical events, and some math, we find that the Flood began approximately 4,359 years ago in the year 2348 BC. Genesis teaches it; Jesus and the apostles confirmed it. It also explains most of the rocks and fossils and obliterates billions of years. Without millions of years , evolution is impossible – not that it is possible if millions of years were granted. We should therefore be prepared to defend a global flood along with the rest of the faith, as well as refute arguments against it.
“But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.” 1 Peter 3:14-16
“We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.” 2 Corinthians 9:5-6
The world must reject Noah’s flood as it destroys evolution which is their attempt to explain away the Cosmos without God. Noah’s flood also proves that God judged the world and destroyed all but the eight people on the ark God instructed Noah to make. Who wants to believe their creator would do that? Evolution has been one of Satan’s most effective ploys to deceive mankind into rejecting God.
What about now? Both Jesus and Peter told us that people will reject the true history of the world including Noah’s flood at the time before Jesus returns to Earth to rescue His Saints and God pours out His wrath a second time on an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements.
“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all... so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.” Luke 17:26-27,30
“For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:38-39
In Peter’s second letter, he prophecies about future scoffers following their own sinful desires and denying Christ’s return. They “deliberately overlook” two foundational truths. The first was God created the world out of water and the second was the global flood of Noah’s day.
“Knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. They will say, “Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.” 2 Peter 3:3-6
Jesus returns on the clouds with the angels to gather the Saints, first the resurrected Saints and then those alive on Earth. “Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.” Revelation 1:7
God then pours out His wrath upon the Earth with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. It so happens that His judgement last one year and ten days exactly the same time as God poured out His wrath the fist time with Noah’s flood. Why one year and ten days? When Jesus returns it will be a Jubilee year and the year before a Jubilee year is always one year and ten days.
In this in-depth interview, Dr. Bill Barrick—Professor Emeritus of Old Testament and Hebrew at The Master’s Seminary — unpacks what the Hebrew text of Genesis 1 really says. Does the Bible itself teach a young earth? Is the day-age theory compatible with the Hebrew grammar? What about the Gap Theory, mytho-history, and functional creation views made popular by scholars like William Lane Craig, Michael Heiser, and John Walton? We dig deep into the Hebrew of בְּרֵאשִׁית בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים (“In the beginning God created”), explore whether Genesis 1:1 is a heading or a historical statement, and discuss how the text itself answers questions about the firmament, cosmology, and biblical authority.

Bill Gates promises his new SMART TATTOOs will replace your smart phone. Will this technology, embedded on your hand or forehead, be the tech that eventually supports the Mark of the Beast? Why is this tech SO dangerous and how can Christians avoid it? This technology can track your every move, monitor all your conversations, and even control what drugs go into your body, Think of all the functionalities that will be concentrated in that one tattoo. online banking, day trading, phones, social media, texting, countless apps, etc. Young people will be happy to take it as it the latest technology that allows you to do so much with ease.
This is what is ahead says Jensen Hwang and Elon Musk and they are not wrong. Are we ready for this?
Elon Musk and Jensen Huang have officially joined forces in shaping the next era of AI dominance. NVIDIA’s new Blackwell chip isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a revolution, redefining what machines can learn, build, and become. Musk is betting Tesla’s future on it, investing in a million GPUs to power full self-driving and humanoid robots at scale. Huang, meanwhile, says we’re only scratching the surface. In this video, They break down how NVIDIA’s unstoppable hardware is fuelling Musk’s AI empire, how this alliance could reshape robotics and automation, and whether humanity is ready for the power they’re unleashing.
This is all leading to the Mark of the Beast when you will not be able to buy or sell without this mark. Think about it, Jesus disciple, John, in the book of Revelation revealed this over 2000 yearsago.
“Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.” Revelation 16:16-17
When we look around and see all the horrible things happening in the world – and even in the church – and it seems overwhelming. Whether it is Western nations seemingly headed on a downward spiral, or conflict in the Middle East, or communist China making menacing moves, or culture wars going berserk, or scandals in our churches, it can seem overwhelming.
Thank goodness the Bible, God’s Word, gives us many examples of people just like us in similar circumstances who were able to hear from God about what He was doing and even though they did not know the why, they came to terms with the fact that God is in control and knows what He is doing. Habakkuk is a great example. Check it out, he ended up getting the right view on things, and we must as well.
The three chapters of the book are easily broken down in outline form:
1:1-4 Habakkuk’s first lament or complaint
1:5-11 Yahweh’s first response
1:12-2:1 Habakkuk’s second lament or complaint
2:2-20 Yahweh’s second response
3:1-19 Habakkuk’s prayer
Like Habakkuk, we need the courage of discernment—to know and trust that God remains sovereign in the world of history and nature. We need to listen to the news with this perspective in mind. ‘Look at the nations and watch…’ (Hab.1.5). Watch out for God at work particularly as the Bible reveals we are in the last days before Jesus returns to set up His Millennial Kingdom and restore righteousness.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shares in this clip, the essence of his talk with Dinesh D’Souza about his new movie The Dragon’s Prophecy based on the book by Jonathan Cahn.
Hopefully, this movie will get to Australia. God has orchestrated the timing of it, so we can expect it will get wide coverage. The producer of the film Dinesh D’Souza gives us a succinct understanding of what is unfolding in our world today. The film does a great job of showing us how what is happening in Israel now as a result of October 7th, 2023 is both political and spiritual.
God called David Pellowe to teach Christians about pursuing righteous government in Australia after the 2016 federal election. He first launched a video show in 2017 and then annual Church and State (CAS) conferences in 2018. He said, everything lost momentum in 2020, but they never missed the annual CAS Summit and found a way through the “regulations”.
Since then, speaking invitations, demand, and audiences have increased significantly, and by the end of this year, he will have held close to a dozen events around Australia. What he has heard and witnessed cannot — must not — be ignored any longer. David Pellowe is Australia’s version of Charlie Kirk. Make sure you you get behind CAS NOW!
Nation First promotes the launch of CAS NOW! by David Pellowe 28th October 2025
God has been stirring Gen Z with a hunger for truth and political discipleship, far surpassing anything seen in previous generations.
After years of teaching and growing the Church And State movement, the need for consistent, youth-focused political discipleship has become urgent and undeniable.
CAS NOW!, which you can read about at CASNOW.au, is launching as a national movement to equip under-30s with resources, strategy, and bold leadership in the political and cultural battle for Australia.
The new movement will feature events, video modules, study guides, and local chapters to empower young Christians to influence politics and society with Gospel conviction.
Gen Z is not waiting for permission. They’re ready to lead now, challenging woke culture and restoring Christian values in public life through active engagement.
The last few years have shown them turning up in greater numbers. It’s nothing new or clever I did — it was God, and it was Gen Z themselves showing more interest in Truth and action, and more disdain and disillusionment with feminised churches and woke culture.
Alpha for Politics
This year, I can’t count the times I’ve been approached by teens and young adults after CAS conferences, just buzzing with inspiration and an insatiable appetite for more of God’s undiluted Truth about debated issues.
“We need more of this.”
“Do you have resources I can share with my friends — they’d love this!”
“I’ve been to the excellent, one-off courses that are available, but once isn’t enough. I want ongoing discipleship about all these issues!”
Pastors too, at the Preachers’ Roundtables I’ve been convening in Parliaments across Australia, hosted by grateful, pro-faith MPs and Senators, have asked what resources CAS has for the first-time voters in their church who come to them and ask, “Who do I vote for? How should I vote?”
And it takes no prophet to know that since Charlie Kirk was martyred on 10 September, the hunger in Gen Z has seen them taking themselves to church to hear God’s Truth about debated issues preached without apology or pussy-footing around the confronting, exclusive nature of it.
It’s time for CAS to double down on what we’ve been doing all along, and sharpen our focus on those first-time voters and others under 30 who are in a prime position to do what previous generations have neglected to do, and arrest the demolition of Christianity in this nation.
“Seeker-sensitive” Christianity may have been well intentioned, but it spectacularly failed over the past few decades to create much more than pew-warmers, if not false converts, by turning the Gospel into a product and congregations into a customer base that had to be appeased.
If someone leaves your church because the pulpit challenges them and makes them uncomfortable, they never wanted discipleship from you and have no understanding of the meaning of “Lord” or “Take up your cross and follow Me.” You’ve lost a waste of space, that’s all. Let them go to a church with better-than-average coffee and an Acknowledgment of Country or a rainbow flag.
Nationwide Movement
Next Saturday night, 8th November in Logan, Queensland, with a bunch of young, zealous Christian conservatives, I’m launching CAS NOW! — a national movement for the political discipleship, equipping and engagement of those under 30.
The following month, on 4-6 December, I will be launching in Newcastle, Illawarra, and Sydney as well, with evening rallies to fill the need in this nation and answer the generation crying out for “MORE!” authority and wisdom from God’s Word.
Anyone can attend, but under-30s get to go to the front of the line during the long Q&A after time for worship, inspiration, and an interview on a debated topic.
These events are high energy and fun, but the strength of the movement is the practical engagement strategies that it aims to provide Gen Z. Political Discipleship course video modules will grow rapidly, provided by scores of high-calibre Church And State conference speakers, complete with study guides, group discussion questions (and answers) for the hosts and facilitators.
Not only will these people be CAS NOW! movement members, but pastors, youth leaders, CAS NOW! church reps, micro churches, house churches, minor party organisers, homeschool communities, missions/evangelistic ministries, Christian schools, and anyone who’s in a position to disciple young people.
CAS NOW! will help them join political parties and empower mass membership of any political party to levels not seen since the Menzies era, creating an unignorable constituency of common sense that demands representation and holds bad government accountable.
No more will this generation sit idly by and wonder what happened to once-Christian Australia. They will actually be salt and light in the public square, preventing rot and decay, adding good flavour and repelling the darkness to illuminate Truth.
CAS NOW! will help communicate the excellent, strategic opportunities provided by many pro-family, pro-faith, pro-freedom, pro-life, pro-Australia lobbyist and activist organisations, which we’ve always championed and promoted at CAS conferences to be politically, culturally, and evangelistically effective in their local area.
CAS NOW! Chapters will continue the great work of the amazing Gen Z’ers in far-flung regions away from the cities to make Political Discipleship events successful right there in their hometowns.
The vision is enormous, but the mission is even bigger. Yet, God has been preparing us for this day, for this generation, to communicate and equip one simple message: “You’re not just the leaders of tomorrow — you’re the leaders NOW!”
YOU can help inspire, educate, empower, and equip people aged 16-30 with Political Discipleship to become the leaders of today and take their place in the vacuum left by older generations in the national conversation. Spread the word; invite everyone to visit casNOW.au and join the movement or attend the launch events (open to all ages).
May God open the eyes of this generation to rebel like no other generation before them against woke uni’ professors, the Lying Media, and oppressive government.
What do the prophecies of Zechariah truly reveal about the end times, Israel, and the return of Christ? In this powerful teaching, Sam Shamoun walks through Zechariah 12–14 verse by verse, showing how the Old Testament prophet foresaw the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Many Christian Zionists celebrate the modern state of Israel as the fulfillment of prophecy, but Sam warns that Scripture paints a sobering picture: two-thirds of the Jews will perish (Zechariah 13:7–9) before a remnant is refined like gold and silver. Far from being a political statement of being “pro-Israel” or “pro-Palestine,” Sam insists that true believers must be pro-Jesus, recognizing that the true Israel is the Church. Drawing from both Old and New Testament, Sam demonstrates that Zechariah’s vision of Yahweh descending on the Mount of Olives—whose feet split the mountain in two (Zechariah 14:4)—is fulfilled in Jesus Christ Himself at His glorious return. Acts 1 confirms that the same Jesus who ascended from the Mount of Olives will return in the same way, with clouds, with His saints, in His glorified body. The teaching then ties Zechariah’s imagery to Revelation 21–22: living waters flowing from Jerusalem, a city lit not by the sun but by the glory of God and the Lamb, and the nations being healed by the tree of life. Sam also unpacks prophecies of divine fire consuming the armies gathered against Jerusalem, their flesh rotting away (Zechariah 14:12), and connects this to 2 Thessalonians 1, 2 Peter 3, and Revelation 19. Ultimately, this message shows how all of Scripture points to the climactic return of Jesus Christ, who will destroy His enemies, redeem His people, and bring the new heavens and new earth where righteousness dwells.
We know that Revelation reveals what happens in the last seven years before Jesus returns. It is the 70th week of Daniel’s 70 Weeks Prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27). Could the seven seals relate to what is unfolding in each of the last seven years and what about the churches could they reveal what is unfolding in the church during each of the seven years? For example only one church is told it will be kept from the wrath of God (the Church of Philadelphia) and God said to one church that He would spit them out of His mouth.(the church of Laodicea). What about the other churches? Could the names of the churches be significant (e.g. the fourth church, “Thyatira” means “graveyard on a hill.“ The fourth seal and fourth horse (green) signifies death. Why isn’t this taught by pastors? Watch Nelson Walters video and discover the amazing answer. Each of the seven churches reveal what the church will face in each of the last seven years before Jesus returns. They line up with the seven seals which also reveal what is unfolding in each of the last seven years of Revelation.
Watch this and Nelson’s other recommended teaching on the seven churches and seven seals.
