Article by Cameron Spink
I have three examples for you today of the Church falling by the wayside as other worldviews overwhelm this nation.
The first is a reasonably well-known example. Adelaide is known as the city of churches. However, in recent years there have been several documented arrests of street preachers for “breaching the peace”. In theory, such an action should be deemed unconstitutional because of the freedom of religion clause (section 116). In reality the interpretation of this section of the constitution does not occur in this way.
Instead the police are able to waste tax-payers money arresting Adelaide’s street preachers only for these bung charges to be defeated later on. This oppression signifies an atheistic movement to quash truth and undermine the biblical worldview. For an American example of similar proportions read the article the four arrested at the Arab Festival.

Fascinating news in yesterday's newspaper suggested there may be some scientific proof for the parting of the red sea. This is obviously not the first time a fellow Christian has claimed a biblical event has scientific validity. Although evidence for our beliefs are not required this article is an interesting topic to think about and discuss.
Red Sea may have parted for Moses like in the bible, just not by his hand, says study
Herald Sun, September 22, 2010
"A NEW study published today suggests Moses may indeed have been able to lead his followers out of Egypt between walls of water.
In the story told in the Bible and Koran, "Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night."
In reality, wind, hydrodynamics and the unique topography of the Nile Delta may have had the same effect - with the same miraculous results for the Israelites....
Otherwise, one of the study's authors claims: "The simulations match fairly closely with the account in Exodus."
In that account Moses and the Israelites are driven from Egypt by the Pharoah's army, which pursues them across the Red Sea only to be drowned when the waters return to their natural state."

Chris Judd is renown as the ultimate football player. He is an explosive midfielder to the point where he can almost single-handedly pull his team over the line. When he finally has a rest on the bench he is gasping for air. As football captains go he is sensational. His example courses through the team as each player tries to exemplify what he shows out on the field.
However, one thing should be noted about Chris Judd. He is very much the reluctant leader. He is quiet spoken and relies more on what he does on the field than what he says. For a football leader this poses no real problems and does not hinder his ability to lead his club.

Bill Muehlenberg gives us tremendous insight as to whether Christians could act and associate with those who would not profess faith in Christ. His article debunks this idea and gives some positive reasons why at times we must form co-belligerency.
On Co-belligerency
Article by Bill Muehlenberg
"Simply defined, co-belligerency is working with someone who you would normally not associate with, or might even be at war with, as the term implies. You may be quite opposed to another person’s beliefs, or creeds, or stances, but you may nonetheless work together with him on a limited, temporary objective.

Article by Cameron Spink
Recent news, particularly today, has emphasised our sexual culture to the extreme.
First there is Example A. Our protagonist is so sex-starved that he has re-created his ex-girlfriend … as a life-sized sex doll. And it only costs $18,000. Then there is Anna Blackburn. She has been ordered to pay a former student $120,293 after she was found to have engaged in a “sexual escapade” with him.
Perhaps the most disturbing example of our sexual culture is yesterday’s story regarding the Canadian mounties. Four of them allegedly watched two female prisoners have consensual sex on the CCTV cameras. They waited seven minutes before intervening. This voyeurism from members of society in positions of authority is alarming and condemning of our culture.

Bill Muehlenberg gives us some thoughts regarding the origins of morality; whether one should enforce morals upon another and how ethics should affect politics.
On Legislating Morality
Article by Bill Muehlenberg
The issue of morality and its legislation is one which is often rather carelessly considered. Secular humanists for example routinely exhibit much fuzzy thinking on this issue. Sadly however, believers can also have some rather cloudy thinking about this important topic.
