  • Those Funky Debaptists, and Other Tales

    If I were paid for every case of lunacy I document on this site, I would have enough moolah by now to purchase a small nation. It is a fulltime job just keeping up with all the moonbeam ideas and activities taking place around us every day. What was that saying about 'whom the gods would destroy, they first make crazy'?

  • The Dandelion Liberation Front

    One keeps coming back to the dictum attributed to GK Chesterton: "When a man ceases to believe in God, he does not believe in nothing. He believes in anything." Europeans of course have taken this further than anyone else. The most secular continent on earth, Europe is also the most radical when it comes to attacking human dignity and the sanctity of life. It is also the most radical when it comes to conferring legal status and rights on non-humans.

  • Another Day, Another Case of UK Thuggery

    It is getting to the place where one could set up a full time blog, chronicling the daily instances of UK fascism. It could be called, "The Nation Formerly Known as Great Britain" or some such thing. It seems that the PC thought police are working overtime there to suppress any dissent and wipe out all traces of biblical Christianity.

  • Outsourcing Care

    The economic crisis has presented us with many known unknowns. One of these is that the business models sustaining the care professions in our society are unlikely to hold up.

  • The Nature of Pentecostal Modern Prophecy

    There is no better illustration of Pentecostal \'modern prophecy\', than illustrated in the article 'Christians turn to God over State of Nation in UK' written by Maria Mackay (Christian Today Australia, 3 March 2009) who reported on a prayer gathering held near the Houses of British Parliament.

  • Fritzl and Evil

    Very few people – at least Westerners – would be unaware of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man just found guilty of kidnapping, rape, murder and a host of other atrocities committed against his own family. He is routinely called a monster, an ogre and an animal.

  • Cricket Terrorism and a Railway Photograph

    Well-Being Australia chairman and cricket chaplain of 25 years, Baptist minister Mark Tronson, was one of many who sent messages of support to Cricket Australia after the Sri Lanka cricket team\'s encounter with terrorism in Lahore, Pakistan.

  • Why Good Friday Should not be Gambled

    Good Friday seems perpetually under siege. First from shopping, then footy in New South Wales, and now in Victoria from gambling. This progressive encroachment suggests two questions: What protection, if any, should Governments and business give Good Friday? How will the public marginalisation of Good Friday lead Christians to see and celebrate the day?

  • Shattering the Ten Per Cent Myth

    I was recently awoken by a radio station wanting to interview me about a lesbian character to appear on a popular TV soapie, Home and Away. I said this was another attempt to cram the homosexual agenda down our throats, a grubby move to spruce up ratings and revenue, and another way to indoctrinate our youth.

  • Delma Catches Up with Madeline Manning Mims

    Madeline Manning Mims, Olympic track Gold medallist in Mexico City (1968), is now in her early 60s and concentrates on Olympic Christian chaplaincy. Well-Being Australia\'s Delma Tronson enjoyed catching up with her in Dallas, Texas recently.

  • Fighting the Good Fight

    The Christian life is described in various ways in the New Testament. Various metaphors and images are used to depict the life of the disciple of Jesus. Sometimes, for example, athletic and sporting metaphors are used. One group of images used quite often is that of military metaphors.
