“You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me no with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” — Psalm 16:11
When we are in Christ, we can experience this love, not as an abstract concept, but as a living reality. God’s love meets us exactly where we are. If you’re lonely, He promises, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). If anxiety is crushing you, He whispers, “Cast all your anxiety on me because I care for you” (1 Peter 5:7). If you’ve been hurt or abandoned, He reminds you, “I’ve been there — I was pierced by the world I came to save. And I will wipe every tear from your eyes” (Revelation 21:4). If you feel worthless, He gently declares, “You are made in My image, and in Christ, you are My beloved child” (Genesis 1:27; 1 John 3:1).
Whatever ache you carry, the love of the Father has already gone deeper.
We often try to meet these deep needs with the things of this world. In fact, our desire for worldly solutions and pleasures can sometimes dominate. There is something my old pastor used to say about this that has stuck with me: “The problem isn’t that our desire is too big. It’s that it’s too small.” We settle for so little — momentary thrills, comforts galore, endless streams of entertainment, accumulating wealth, or the approval of crowds. We chase these things hoping they’ll give us meaning and heal our pain. But they never do.
Yet there’s something far greater offered to us: the joy of the Father’s presence.
King David expresses it so beautifully in Psalm 16:11: “You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.” In His presence is fullness of joy. Not momentary fun. Not a hit of dopamine. But joy that endures — eternal pleasure grounded in relationship with God Himsel
This article by Kurt Mahlberg appeared at the right time for me. I had to call 000 as I thought both my cardiac and respiratory systems were in failure. I am in hospital and responding to treatment. It was nice to be reminded who to turn to and where my ultimate joy will be derived from.
Conservatives from around the world recently met in Budapest to encourage fellow Europeans to take back their countries in order to realign with their original biblical values. In the opening ceremony, participants sang the Hungarian national anthem and then listened to the “Star Spangled Banner.” Some three thousand conservatives from Hungary, Europe, and around the world came to back up the values of God, homeland, and family. Milos Szantho, the chairman of CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) Hungary, told CBN News, “We managed to build up the broadest coalition of patriotic forces here at CPAC-Hungary, not only from a European perspective, but from a global one.
Milos said, the Trump tornado has swept across the world and changed it completely. He has given hope back to the world. We are no longer drowning in a sea of woke. We are not overrun by migrants. He gave us back the hope of a normal life. He gave us back the hope of peace.”

A disturbing exam question from an Australian medical school shows how scientific accuracy is being sacrificed for conformity to transgender ideology, casting serious doubt on the integrity of modern medical education and the future quality of patient care.
Below is a screenshot of a real question in a test for a fourth-year paediatric module in a medical school in Australia. The sender has requested to remain anonymous for obvious reasons, as they would no doubt be penalised for challenging the school’s political narrative.
It is incredibly alarming that this medical school has thrown out scientifically accurate terminology and concepts to appease transgender ideologues. The question is the promotion of a political narrative — it is not based on facts or reality.
Transgender Medical Exam Question
The question reads:
A 28 year old transgender man presents to the General Practice clinic with his two-week old infant. He gave birth vaginally after an uncomplicated pregnancy during which he temporarily discontinued testosterone therapy. He has not had a double mastectomy. He expresses a desire to breastfeed but is concerned about resuming testosterone. He has no significant medical history apart from gender dysphoria and takes no medications currently. On examination, both he and the infant appear well with vital signs within normal limits. The infant is gaining weight appropriately.”
Which of the following is the most appropriate management plan?
Choose the single best answer
Continue without testosterone while chestfeeding
Resume testosterone with concurrent chestfeeding
Commence formula feeding only
Start microdosing testosterone while chestfeeding
Alternate between formula and chestfeeding
Truth v Transgender Ideology
A human with a female reproductive system and the ability to give birth and breastfeed is a female. There is no evidence that any kind of man can perform this uniquely female accomplishment.
This medical school is redefining common language and scientific concepts. They are displaying utter contempt for reality and biology. How on earth can they be trusted to train up the next generation of medical practitioners when they care so little for accuracy and facts?
Changing pronouns or names, wearing costumes or taking drugs does not change the reality that it is only females who have a vagina, cervix, uterus, ovaries and breasts.
Redefining breastfeeding as “chestfeeding” is ludicrous. “Chest” refers to a relatively large anatomical region that contains a number of systems – cardiovascular, respiratory and mammary glands among them.
Breasts are an organ that produce breast milk by females for their babies. Redefining words won’t change this fact. Appeasing activists won’t enhance the level of professional, evidence-based care. It reduces a person to unreliable feelings that can minimise or ignore serious medical issues.
Indoctrinating medical trainees — gaslighting them with words and concepts that are clearly not biologically or anatomically correct — will reduce medical standards and trust. This is a clear breach of ethical and medical standards.
This is just another Biblical prophesied end-times sign prior to Jesus soon return with the glorified Saints to restore righteousness and institute His Millennial reign. This earth has another 1000 years before God destroys it with fire. After the final resurrection of the dead and the White Throne judgement, the apostle John sees a new Jerusalem descending from heaven on to a new Earth.
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”Revelation 21:1-4

Today, many churches particularly the denominational churches have compromised with the world and replaced biblical fidelity with man-made innovation. They have lost their moorings. The answer is returning to Scripture, to Christ-cantered orthodoxy, and Spirit-led wisdom rooted in the historic faith with emphasis on the truth of Genesis 1-11 where the foundations of our faith are established.
It is unlikely that the denominational churches will change as the established hierarchy are entrenched and without a move of God these institutions will die slowly and painfully.
Sadly, very few churches see the role of the church as building disciples that will build more disciples as described in the Book of Acts. The growing churches are the persecuted churches in the most unlikely countries such as Iran and China.
GOD’S NATION ISRAEL IS AT THE CENTRE OF THE SPIRITUAL WAR RAGING IN THE HEAVENLIES
God alerted all of the O.T prophets to reveal the end of the story for the nation God established for His purposes. Even Moses who never entered the Promised Land told the Jews what their future would be before they went in. Sadly, because of disobedience God would scatter them amongst the nations of the Earth and Israel as a nation would no longer exist. Only, a miracle could rebirth Israel and that happened in 1948. All the end times prophecies of Jesus return to Earth at the exactly the same place where He left it, revolve around Him returning to save Israel and restore righteousness to the Earth. The following Scripture from Ezekiel is just one of many end times Scriptures revealing the amazing future ahead for the Jews.
“Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and bring them to their own land.And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all the backslidings in which they have sinned and will cleanse them, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.” Ezekiel 37:21-23
However, I need to point out that just as a time of tribulation and great tribulation is ahead for Christians the Scriptures reveal that for Jews it will be great tribulation.
Zechariah 13:8–9
“In all the land, declares the Lord, two-thirds will be cut off and perish; yet one-third will be left in it. This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name, and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God.’”
The Iranian regime – and its seemingly relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons – continues to monopolise media coverage and the president’s time. But what about the Iranian people?
Incredibly, in the sort of way only God could accomplish, a wildfire of house churches has spread through Iran. A revival has broken out, led mostly by women, as captured in the documentary “Sheep Among Wolves”.
Released in 2019, Sheep Among Wolves remains profoundly relevant today as war between Iran and Israel escalates. While Iran’s regime advances nuclear threats and regional conflict, another revolution is unfolding in secret: an awakening of former Muslims turning to Israel’s Messiah — Jesus. This sweeping movement is led primarily by Iranian women, many of whom were once devout Muslims. Now, they’re making disciples, leading house churches, and praying for the fall of the Ayatollah’s regime — not with weapons, but with the love and power of Christ. What You’ll Discover in This Film: -The fastest growing church movement in the world — and it’s not where you think. -Testimonies from former jihadists, ex-Muslims, and underground leaders. -How women are leading bold discipleship movements under extreme persecution. -The biblical model of making disciples that multiplies in secret yet powerful ways.
Marziyeh Amirizadeh: Incredible Testimony
Meanwhile, Muslims all around the world, not just Iran, report having dreams of Jesus or a “man in white” they later learn is the Jewish Messiah God-man. What a time to be alive.
You might be surprised to hear these reports, but you wouldn’t be if you knew the story of Marzi. Her full name is Marziyeh Amirizadeh, and her testimony is incredible.
Marzi shared her story on the “Outstanding” podcast, a tale of her miraculous conversion, daring evangelistic endeavours, and later heart-wrenching persecution at the hands of Iranian guards.
‘One step closer to Armageddon’: Franklin Graham preaches to thousands in London
Thousands filled ExCeL London to capacity on Saturday evening for the return of the God Loves You Tour, led by Rev. Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and Samaritan’s Purse.
With attendance exceeding 17,000, the venue reached its increased maximum capacity of 15,000, prompting security to turn away several thousand people, according to organizers.
Despite the overflow, crowds outside the venue responded by singing and clapping rather than expressing frustration. Inside, worship was led by Grammy-winning artists CeCe Winans and Michael W. Smith, along with Christian band The Afters.
The event marked Graham’s third appearance at ExCeL London in partnership with over 550 churches across the city. Leading up to the event, more than 2,000 youth participated in Pursuit — BGEA’s series of gatherings aimed at encouraging young Christians in the U.K.
“Since I last preached here in London two years ago, the world seems to be one step closer to Armageddon,” he said. “Many people feel hopeless, and they’re asking, is the world running out of time? You can come to the One who can turn that around, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ — God’s Son.”
He concluded by citing John 3:16 and inviting attendees to put their faith in Jesus Christ. Hundreds responded, including a 16-year-old girl who commented, “Everybody is hungry for God in my generation right now, and He is moving.”
I am 90 next year and I have found the best way ever to evangelise for a person my age. It happened when I was getting my car serviced at Mazda recently. The girl at the Mazda desk had discovered my age from her records and commented that I don’t look my age. Behind me where about six or seven people waiting for the courtesy bus. All would have overheard her comment and one of two men who were together asked me how old I was. I answered I will be 90 next year and he responded “no way”. How do you do it? My response was the Holy Spirit as I have never said this before and it surprised me. I said, “At the age of 47, I discovered God loves meand it changed my life forever“. It was like the place went quiet, no one said anything and yet I knew that the Holy Spirit was doing something. I tried to lighten the moment with another comment of a worldly nature. I said, “You also have to use it or you lose it” and that I have never smoked. When we got on the bus there were two women who wanted to talk to me but the two men were sitting opposite me continued talking about their own fathers who were in nursing homes in their eighties. The simple comment as to why I am so sprightly and enjoying life is because I discovered God loves me had a profound effect. I used it again yesterday in Chemist Warehouse with a man who was with his young son. When I said, At the age of 47, I discovered God loves meand it changed my life forever“, his response was I have been thinking about God for the last two weeks. I said this is not a coincidence that we met and he agreed. I was sorry that I did not have a John’s Gospel with me. I have many in the car. I can fit two comfortably in my jeans pocket so I next time I will have them.
In this video, Dr Robert Carter explores how genetics supports a biblical timeline. The evidence is irrefutable and deserves to get wide distribution. Make sure you send it to family and friends.
DNA is supposedly millions of years old, but can it really survive that long? The evidence suggests otherwise. From genetic entropy showing species can’t survive endless mutations, to ancient DNA breaking down too quickly in the ground, to mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosome Adam pointing to recent common ancestors — multiple lines of evidence challenge evolutionary timescales. DNA barcoding reveals another puzzle: species across the animal kingdom appear to be roughly the same age, as if some major event reset life on Earth.
When God created the world, He stated that mankind would “have dominion” over God’s creation (Genesis 1:26, 28). The first man was Adam, and so Adam was head of the human race. God’s relationship to Adam was, in effect, that of Supreme Commander (God) to Executive Officer (Adam). And in the expression and demonstration of this relationship, God required Adam to obey one command that God had given him, i.e., not to eat from one specified tree in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:16–17).
Adam’s first task in his executive role was to give names to the animals that God brought to him “to see what he would call them” (Genesis 2:19–20). However, after Satan had persuaded Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, Adam chose to do so also. As this involved disobeying God’s one command to him, Adam thereby surrendered and transferred his homage and allegiance from God to Satan, becoming in effect, Satan’s vassal. Since then, Satan has operated as “ruler of this world” (John 12:31), albeit within the boundaries that God has set for him (cf. Job 1:12; 2:6, Luke 22:31).
“Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be cast out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”John 12:31
Satan was therefore able to claim to Christ that the kingdoms of the world were now his (i.e., Satan’s), and that he gives them to whomsoever he wills, and Christ did not dispute or deny these claims. In fact, Jesus referred to Satan as “the god of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11); and the Apostle Paul similarly wrote concerning Satan that “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” (2 Corinthians 4:4).
So, is this relevant today in our 21st-century world culture? And if so, how?
The kingdom of academia
Most of the universities in Europe and North America were founded by Christian individuals or the Christian Church and proclaimed the Bible. Notable early universities for which this applied were those at Bologna (1088), Paris (1150), Oxford (1167), Cambridge (1209), Padua (1222), Naples (1224), and Edinburgh (1583), plus many others. Theology was regarded as ‘the queen of the sciences’, and instruction was usually in Latin.
Likewise, most of the renowned universities in America, including Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Columbia, Princeton, and Brown, were founded as religious institutions by various church denominations or ministers.
With the passing of time, and the long-since death of the founders of these places of learning, together with the emergence of long-ageism, most universities have abandoned their Christian heritage, and become bulwarks of secularism. As such, they now teach naturalistic theories such as evolution as fact, and the big bang as the creator of the universe.
Why? The answer brings us back to the quote from the Bible in our opening paragraph. Universities, with their teaching, research, and scholarship are components of the kingdom of academia. If Satan controls this kingdom and gives it to whomsoever he pleases, we should not be surprised to see non-believers in university positions of prestige, and in control of what is taught therein.
There are many educators and scientists who have been denied tenure or fired from their academic positions for their belief in the evidence of design in nature. This is because such a belief challenges the godless idea that life is a result of random chance and evolution. A number of such cases have been documented in the 2008 movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed and Jerry Bergman’s book Slaughter of the Dissidents.
God’s defeat of Satan
However, God has not lost ultimate control of His world, nor of the kingdom of academia. When Adam and Eve sinned, God’s word to Satan was: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel” (Genesis 3:15). This verse was God’s promise of the coming and ultimate victory of Jesus. It has been called the proto-evangelium, meaning ‘the first (or earliest) Gospel’. Concerning this verse, Charles Spurgeon wrote: “This is the first gospel sermon that was ever delivered upon the surface of the earth … with Jehovah Himself for the preacher, and the whole human race and the prince of darkness for the audience.”
The Lord Jesus Christ is this promised “offspring” of Eve. He, the Son of God, came “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8). When Jesus died on the Cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rose again, He defeated Satan’s power over all who believe in Jesus. The Apostle Paul wrote (concerning believers who are truly “in Christ”) that God has “forgiven us all our trespasses, by cancelling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross” (Colossians 2:14). Satan’s accusations and claims of dominion are thus no longer valid against Christian believers, in the light of God’s forgiveness.
Christians, released from the power of Satan in their lives, are called to be light in the darkness (Ephesians 5:8). There are many Christian university professors and students, as well as Christian scientists, who are currently performing this mission (despite the opposition referred to above).

It is shocking and unfathomable that the brutal attack by Hamas on Israel, October 7, 2023 — an assault not only on a nation, but on its right to exist in that small patch on the globe, the only home the United Nations has allowed the Jewish people, has resulted in antisemitism worldwide. This is spiritual warfare which fits with what Jesus said would happen to Jews and Christians just prior to His return with the glorified Saints to restore righteousness.
AUSTRALIA: This article reports on a recent rally; As Melbourne reels from attacks on synagogues and Israeli-owned businesses, a rare coalition of faith communities gathered peacefully over the weekend to reclaim the moral ground in a nation struggling against rising terror and intimidation.
On Sunday, in Melbourne, fifteen organisations from three different communities — Hindus, Iranians and Israelis — gathered with one unified purpose: to stand against terrorism.
The rally came amid rising violence, public apathy, and a growing ideological threat not just to Israel, but to the very foundations of Australian democracy and religious freedom. Despite the hopeful turnout, many there questioned why only a few hundred people showed up, especially after the recent terror attacks in Melbourne. Where was the outrage? Where were the crowds? Only a handful of Christians came to stand in solidarity — three from the Family First Party and a few others.
As Gideon Rozner, Policy Director at the Institute of Public Affairs stated bluntly: “No Australian should have their place of worship firebombed.” But the painful truth remains — there have been no real consequences for these acts of violence and for the chants of death and terror that have plagued Melbourne’s streets.
Since the Never Again Is Now rally in May 2024, turnout has dwindled. Each Sunday morning, only 10 to 30 people — a few brave Jews, Christians and atheists — stand quietly in the CBD. They face down noisy, drum-beating, aggressive pro-Palestinian protestors shouting: “Kill the Jews,” “F… the Jews,” “Death to the IDF.”
Instead of arresting those who threaten violence, police have moved on the peaceful crowd and even threatened them with arrest simply for being in the city.
One Sunday, a Christian woman had her Lion of Judah flag ripped from her hand. Her husband gave chase to recover it — and was pepper-sprayed by police. On another morning, an elderly woman with a flag on an umbrella was grabbed by police, their arms tightly around her neck.
Melbourne, once one of the most successful multicultural cities in the world, is now almost unrecognisable. For 21 months, it has teetered on the edge of something dangerous.
Folks we are living in the end times. God established the nation of Israel for His purposes, and despite its disobedience, God will fulfill the many promises He made that Israel will one day be the leader of the nations with its Messiah, Jesus ruling reigning over the nations from a new Jerusalem for one thousand years.
