This post is attempting to bring a balanced view of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, specifically in regards to speaking in tongues & why this is still for today. Foreword: Counteracting cessationism (the belief that miraculous gifts ceased after the apostolic age) involves engaging with biblical, historical, and experiential arguments while maintaining a spirit of love and unity. When engaging, it is generally advised to focus on "gentleness and respect" (1 Pet 3:15), acknowle

Tattoos are normal now. Today people get tattoos of art, memories, family, loss, Scripture, crosses, names, symbols, and sometimes just because they thought it looked cool at the time. So the question is not, “Are tattoos popular?” They are. The real question is: What does the Bible actually say? The main verse people go to is Leviticus 19:28: “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.” That is the clearest verse i

The Common Thread Here is how nations and institutions are lost. History shows it is often a predictable, step-by-step process. This pattern applies to Islam and to modern liberalism alike. For our purposes, I will outline the strategy historically used to advance Islam and to bring entire societies under Islamic rule. I am not speaking of cultural Muslims, but of radicalized Islam, which is driven by the goal of domination. 1. INFILTRATE Immigration has become the primary me

We didn’t vote them in. Let’s stop pretending we did. When a party forms government with around 34% of the primary vote, that is not a clear mandate. That means two-thirds of Australians did not choose them as their first preference. They didn’t win because most Australians wanted them. They won because the system shuffled preferences until someone was left standing. That might be legal, but don’t insult people’s intelligence by calling it consent. Australians are told, “You

Galatians 3 is often cited as evidence that national Israel no longer has a role in God’s purposes. Because Paul states that believers in Christ are Abraham’s seed and children through faith, some conclude that Israel’s role in the biblical storyline no longer is significant. According to this view, Abraham’s family has been redefined so that the unbelieving nation of Israel is no longer God’s people The reasoning appears straightforward. If belonging to Abraham is determined

Foreword: Counteracting cessationism (the belief that miraculous gifts ceased after the apostolic age) involves engaging with biblical, historical, and experiential arguments while maintaining a spirit of love and unity. When engaging, it is generally advised to focus on "gentleness and respect" (1 Pet 3:15), acknowledging that both sides aim to honour Scripture. It isn't strange that the gifts of the Holy Spirit were given to facilitate the unifying of the church, and yet t

First I want to address 5 reasons why: They don’t understand prophecy They fear offending members of the church They sense it will scare people They fear people will stop giving They fear looking like fringe groups who take things to an extreme Fear stands out as the key motive behind the silence. Pastors also say they do not understand prophecy, but do they take the time to learn or turn to those who do understand it? Someone might ask: “Why does that matter? Does it really

Trump is still God's man for this time & season. Forget the way he sometimes talks, he is not your pastor or councillor. I believe he is the Cyrus of this time & the Winston Churchill combined in one person. Yes this tough business man form New York, who sometimes talks like a Construction Site Supervisor & Army Drill Sergeant is the right man for the right time. America & the World witnessed another terrifying moment as President Trump was rushed to safety after a shooting i

There is no perfect political party, as we are still dealing with fallible men, we are not yet under the perfect & just rule of our Lord & Saviour, who will establish His rule soon on earth. Theologically, Christians should expect every political movement to contain both partial truths and deep distortions. Why? Because every human system remains shaped by both common grace and human fallenness. That means no party, ideology, or nation can ever fully embody the kingdom of Go

This would also largely apply to the Greek / Russian Orthodox, JW's , Mormons & 7th Day Adventists, as they believe in God but trust in tradition, works, wrongly translated Scripture, wrong interpretations & commentaries (I would even include Hyper Calvinists in this category) & other "sacred" writings & making them equal or higher than the Biblical final authority. If you are going to share the Gospel with Catholics etc, stop making the mistake of starting with Mary, statues

Why is it so important to stay update on this: 1)The fake / false media in the West is working overtime to blame Israel & to make it look like the US is losing. 2) Iran is important in Biblical prophecy & narratives regarding past, present & future. https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/iran-in-bible-prophecy-persia-elam-and-the-end-times https://www.harvestministriesnz.com/post/everything-you-need-to-know-about-iran 𝟒𝟕 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐑𝐄

Trump’s critics keep mistaking provocation for prophecy. But the man himself has never claimed to be anything more than a sinner trying — and failing — to get into heaven. When will the progressive left learn that Donald Trump is not the Messiah… he’s just a very naughty boy. It should be obvious to anyone who has listened to the US President for more than 60 seconds — admittedly a test of endurance — that for all his bluster, he claims only to be a deeply flawed individual.

Losing the Fear of God to the Fear of Man Somewhere along the way, the Church has lost the weight of what it has been entrusted with. The day that proclaims Christ crucified and risen – the day that declares victory over sin and death – has been reshaped to make it acceptable to a world that does not know him. The gospel is offensive. Yes. But it is the gospel that Jesus himself preached. It confronts sin. It calls for repentance. It declares that man is not good, and that sa
