Adam Duker: Pursuing freedom and keeping faith amidst adversity
God of the Heavenly Kingdom
福 is often something that Chinese wish upon on each other at Lunar New Year, but maybe it’s time to take a step back and think of the eternal blessing that has been offered to the world through Christ
Growing up Asian-Australian in Sydney Churches

Are we kissing evangelicalism goodbye?
In trying to get with the times to be mainstream and socially acceptable, many have forgotten that the Gospel is a timeless truth.
Bringing truth to all
Roydon Ng reflects on an interesting fortnight in Australia where politics, society and faith spectacularly collided with Graham, Peterson and Pell
The challenge of voice and heart
Adding to the pain experienced by transgender people will undermine the Christian testimony and make it harder to live in accordance with an identity vested in Jesus Christ
How ought Christians vote?
As Christians seeking to make the most out of difficult political situations, we have the assurance that we don’t go in our strength, but prayerfully we have the support of the Jesus Christ because He is the One who has authority over heaven and earth.
A political or apolitical God?
It's not about whether you Vote 1 for a left or right wing party, Jesus cares about whether you've made Him number 1 in your life...
Hope Trumps Hate
Perhaps it’s wise to stop asking ‘why I didn’t report it’ but treat every claim seriously through a due process. Churches ought to be a place of hope and it can once again shine in the community as a beacon of such hope if it can heal among itself through the Holy Spirit.
Why Christian Culture?
Christianity is worth fighting for. There is so much that we owe to Christianity, it can be described as a debt that many in the world are either naive or blatantly ignorant about.

To respond to ridicule and rejection with anger at those who marginalise Christians is to close the door on public discussions of faith.

God’s Not Dead
Much of the Western world may have forsaken its Christian heritage and abandoned it for liberalism instead, but increasingly it is the ‘global south’ that is leading the way for the Gospel.
Being Genuine
When more people live as if they were “the temple of the Holy Spirit” in honour of God our creator (1 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 19 to 20), wouldn’t our society be a better place?
The milkshake duck
Let’s ask, test and seek the truth so that we can have a firm grasp not to keep it for ourselves but to be a bearer of the Good News of Christ into the world.
Jesus – a never expiring passport
Jesus is our passport that allows us to fly over the sinful and downfallen state of human power struggle (earthly politics) to a better future.
The church’s spiritual #MeToo crisis
As public opinion increasingly turns away from the church, the followers of Jesus ought to get their house in order or risk further undermining the Gospel of Christ
The Poverty Is Real
“It was one thing to be successful and to gain a diploma, but my relationship with Christ and the story of being saved give me a higher purpose to aspire to" - Amina, daughter of microfinance loan recipient in the Philippines
Youngest ever Willoughby Councillor, a committed Christian promising common-sense politics
Twenty-two year old UNSW law student Brendon Zhu is the second youngest councillor elected in the 2017 local government elections
It all ends up in a box or does it?
