Murder of Henry Nowak

Your and Our History:

“People are clueless about our  history because it’s been revised to paint Christianity in the worst possible light, when it was specifically the Church that preserved all the great ancient texts that illuminate the histories for us.

Why did the Dark Age happen?

 Not because of Christianity, but because of Islam. Aside from Constantinople, all the centers of Christian learning in the East were conquered by the Caliphate. And in particular, Egypt was the greatest loss, for two reasons: 1) the catechetical school at Alexandria was a brilliant light of Christendom for the 6 centuries prior to Islamic conquest, and 2) most importantly, the production and importation of paper (made from papyrus) to Europe ceased overnight, and Europe had to resort to enormously expensive parchment for its writing mode — and thus reading and writing became relegated to the wealthy nobility and to the clergy. No one else could afford the material necessary.

Couple that with the next thousand+ years of Islamic raiders plundering the coasts of southern Europe for Christian slaves, leading to most unfortified coastal areas to be abandoned for centuries, and you have a recipe for Christian Europe to be forced to draw in upon itself. 

This coincided with the so-called Islamic Golden Age, which occurred specifically because Islam violently conquered Christian lands and stole their knowledge for themselves.

The Christian West during this period nearly collapsed altogether, but it was their unifying Christian faith that helped them band together to defeat the pagan Germans in Saxony and Bavaria, the pagan Vikings raiding and conquering the British coasts, and Islamic rule in Iberia, southern France, Sicily, and southern Italy.

People like to treat “science” and “learning” as these linear progressions, but in reality the studies of the sciences, and in particular philosophy, had really begun to decline during the period leading up to the fall of Rome in 476. This era was marked by increasing decadence and a lack of moral and social cohesion in the empire, and as society decayed so too did the quality of its academic institutions and scholastic fervor.

 Some people try to blame this decay on Christianity, but in reality Christianity was a response to — not the cause of — this societal decay.

This same pattern is playing out today. The moral and societal decay of the modern secular West is leading the younger generations to reject modernity and embrace faith, and in particular the more traditional and liturgical faiths are surging with young adult converts.

 World's Largest Church:

The world's largest church by membership is the Yoido Full Gospel Church located in Seoul, South Korea.

 Affiliated with the Assemblies of God, this Pentecostal megachurch holds a Guinness World Record and boasts a total registered congregation of approximately 800,000- 1 million members. Seoul, South Korea (on Yeouido island).

The massive main auditorium seats around 12,000 people at a time.

 Because the congregation is so large, the church runs multiple services throughout the day, often filling the main campus and numerous satellite locations across the city. It is highly accommodating to visitors, providing headset translations for multiple languages.

Founded in 1958 by Pastor David Yonggi Cho and Choi Ja-shil, the church started as a small tent with just five members.. Yoido Full Gospel Church, long famed for its status as the most-attended church in the world deserves a visit just for its atmosphere generated by 12K  singing voices.

 Unsurprisingly, when most people think of South Korea, they picture K-pop idols, catchy dance challenges, hit dramas, or next-level skincare. While these are huge things, perhaps we should pay more attention to the milestones exhibited by this large church. Celebrating Light and Love with (almost) countless others in song,triumph and humility.

He’s the God of new beginnings

“Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them.” James 5:20 NIV

 

Our God is the God of new beginnings! The Bible says: “Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.” It is never too late for a new beginning. And what’s even more remarkable is that God uses people like us to help others find a new beginning.

The Bible contains many accounts of men and women who got a second chance and, by God’s grace, used it well.

 Like Peter, who denied Jesus but went on to become a leader in the New Testament church. Or David, who committed adultery and murder, yet his psalms are a major part of one of the most quoted books in the Bible. And what about Jonah? He got a do-over! “The word of the Lord came to Jonah the second time” (Jonah 3:1 NKJV)

Sin can wreck hearts, homes, plans, and people. But the good news of the gospel is that sin can never keep God from loving or reaching for us. And we should never stop loving and reaching for others. “If a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness” (Galatians 6:1 NKJV). The Greek word for restore is a medical term that means “to set a broken bone.” When a doctor resets a broken bone, he realigns it and then puts it in a cast for about six weeks. During that time, God does the actual healing.

 Your job is to find broken people who need a second chance and help to restore them.

Politicians and Women's Rights ? ( When Tickle doesn't Giggle )

We need more women (and men) who find reality, to not help a 'not woman' to- go-to real- women's zone!

Why ? What can i possibly mean ?

Read below>>>

“In a free society, people can believe whatever they want. If you want to believe men can be women or you’re a man who wants to call himself a woman, that is your business. 

 

What you cannot do in a free society is force anyone else to accept it. 

What is at stake here is the ability to lawfully acknowledge reality.

If you care so much about “trans rights” you can work out a way to get them without destroying the category of women in law, female spaces, sport, services, the entire reality of lesbianism, and punishing citizens for acknowledging reality. The fact that you haven’t even tried makes it appear that destroying the rights of women is the goal.

Any politician  ( perhaps anyone else ?) who will look an Australian citizen in the eye and tell them that a man can be a woman is admitting that they will lie about anything and everything because the most obvious lie has already been told.

If no one in this room can acknowledge reality and fix an obvious problem you are either malicious or incompetent. The days of dismissing this issue are over. This is not a culture war. It’s reality.”

- my words, (Sall Grover) read by Alison Penfold MP, in parliament today.

Contact politicians and tell them to BACK THE BILL - “Sex Discrimination Amendment- sex based rights bill 2026”

( My,my, what a reversal of much touted " women's rights .")

Drop by and feel the sanity, drop a comment.

Know Who You Are.

Know who you are

“By the grace of God I am what I am.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV

Who are you? It seems like a simple question but is often one of the most challenging to answer. To know who you are and what you stand for, to be aware of how you’re perceived by others and how you present yourself to the world, is one of the most important aspects of a well-lived life. This could be called your “personal brand.”

Your brand consists of attributes that are present for every encounter you have with work colleagues, family, or friends. 

You could call them “deliverables,” virtues you bring to all your social and business interactions. You may take your deliverables for granted but consider writing down your own personal mission statement. What is your purpose? What are you about? What is your vision? Does your life truly reflect what’s important to you and how you want others to see you? So often, we live our lives based on what those around us think we should be or do. We follow the path we’ve seen others take, or we pursue what the media defines as success.

 Eventually, and sometimes surprisingly, we may find ourselves frustrated, angry, and disappointed in life. Have you ever heard business professionals lament about climbing to the top of the corporate ladder, only to find that it was leaning against the wrong building? They were so busy keeping up with what they thought they were supposed to be doing that they never stopped to ask themselves what they actually wanted to do. 

Be like Paul, the Great Apostle: Know who you are, honour your personal brand, and say, “By the grace of God, I am what I am.”

  Here Now & Not Yet ?

We must be careful we don't overdo the "now" and dial down the "not-yet"

" Equally, we live in a reality of hope, joy and new life. We recognise that in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the world has been both turned around 180% and put the right way up. Jesus is Lord of the universe now. It's a receiving a hundred times as much in this present age reality. It's a world where individuals, families communities and whole cultures can be transformed by the "good news."

We must be careful that we don't overdo the " Not Yet " and dial down the "Now"

"We have been renewed, restored and re-tasked to take up the God-glorifying culture-building that we were created for." After all, how will other people be part of the new creation except by hearing the gospel (Good News) message.

 Given the devastating effects of sin and the reality of hell.

The call to repentance and faith in Christ remains at the centre of our mission. but in a way which is connected to our cultural calling.
