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....

Good governance in Australia prior to Federation David d’Lima, July 2021 Prior to Federation in 1901, people in Australia exercised God’s gift of governance in three modes: Firstly, around 250 tribal groups applied Aboriginal customary law, under the supervision of elders.

Heeding the example of Florence Nightingale David d’Lima - FamilyVoice Australia, September 2020 Florence Nightingale (1820 - 1910) is recognised as the founder of modern nursing. Following her excellent service during the Crimean War, in which she organised care for wounded soldiers whom she famously tended at night, Florence obtained the nickname - "The Lady with the Lamp" - based on a phrase from a report in The Times newspaper, which described her work as follows: She is a "ministering angel" without any exaggeration in these hospitals, and as her slender form glides quietly along each corridor, every poor fellow's face softens with gratitude at the sight of her. When all the medical officers have retired for the night and silence and darkness have settled down upon those miles of prostrate sick, she may be observed alone, with a little lamp in her hand, making her solitary rounds.

BRINGING FREEDOM AND ORDER TOGETHER IN A FALLEN WORLD. By Rev Dr Peter Barnes.         The recent plebiscite on same-sex (or any gender) marriage has raised a number of issues for Australian society, and, indeed, for Western societies in general. A key concern is that of the basis upon which Western laws operate.     Over the last two hundred years or so, the notion has grown that Western secular societies operate best in a context of maximised freedoms standing on a thin moral base. Paradoxically, this has led to those who are most vehement in favour of homosexual rights to be most coercive when it comes to legislation.

ISLAM AND WOMEN - STORIES FROM BEHIND THE VEIL. By Dr Stuart Robinson, award-winning author, The Hidden Half.         There is more to it than meets the eye of the beholder... A few years ago when I was on talk back radio, a young lady phoned in from interstate. She told me she was a Muslim and wanted to ask some questions. To provide some context I asked where she had gone to school. She named a Christian denominational school that she had attended for 12 years. I next asked had she ever read a Bible. She hadn't.
