Esteeming the Governor-General of Australia   Written by: David d'Lima, May 2021  The Governor-General serves the Australian civic system as a neutral and independent umpire whose work of quiet excellence seeks no controversy. Consequently the work is often overlooked by the mainstream media. So South Australia's newspaper The Advertiser in 2003 ran a front page news feature reporting a finding that only 2% of people could name Australia's Governor-General. But as the media often omits to publish Vice-Regal news, it is responsible for the non-recognition of leaders such as Major General Michael Jeffery (who in 2003 became Australia's 24th Governor-General). ...

The Book of Esther  Written by: David d'Lima  Queen Esther provided leadership in the Persian Empire, as consort to King Xerxes. Saving her own people from death, she was a type of Christ, and prevented the Empire staining itself with innocent bloodshed. This is what happened during the time of Xerxes ... who ruled over 127 provinces stretching from India to Cush. The king's personal attendants proposed, "Let the king appoint commissioners in every province of his realm to bring ... beautiful girls into the harem at the citadel of Susa. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let beauty treatments be given to them. Then let the girl who pleases the king be queen ... ." This advice appealed to the king, and he followed it. [1:1 - 2:4]...

FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION: Education, children and the purpose of God. By Sarah Dingle.        "In the space of just a few decades, homosexuality has gone from being a criminal offence to a psychological disorder, to an acceptable way of life, to today, the 'new virtue'. Without doubt, we are living in a time of massive moral and cultural change." The shift towards same sex marriage in Australia has happened quickly. Just a short time ago, neither major party in Australia would support changing the meaning of marriage in law. Momentous social change of this nature leaves us with the question of how a revolution of this type has occurred; how does such significant social change take place so quickly?

Gaining insights from the Patriarch Joseph    Written by: David d'Lima, March 2020  The Patriarch Joseph has much relevance to the modern world, with our fragile economies and great need for Godly people to take up ministry opportunities as leaders in pagan contexts, as we read in the Book of Genesis: Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate robe for him. When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him. [37:3-4] Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan. But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him. “Here comes that dreamer!” they said ... and they took him and threw him into the cistern. ... Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood? Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed....
