Pastoring in an Algorithmic Age is a GS&C resource paper, written by Michael McGarity, a Presbyterian Church elder who works, teaches and researches at the intersection of technology, engineering and public responsibility.

We need to help teens differentiate between two types of peace, writes Kamal Weerakoon. The peace that is an absence of conflict or tension is not necessarily the same as the enduring peace that is found in trusting in Jesus.

by Benjamin Shuhyta When you speak to God about our civic leaders, how do you pray? Do you pray for them at all? Maybe we wait til we read about a new law or about a rate hike. But shouldn't we be more proactive? God's word does give us principles to help us in our prayer for leaders: 1. We should respect, submit to, and pray for, our civic...

God has made the world and everything in it and set it up with purpose, writes John McClean.

God’s offer of a new creation is not demolition and removal, not scrapping the old and starting again. It’s renewal, restoration, redemption, writes John McClean.

Seeing God for who he is, in the glory of Christ, so we can love and serve him, is what gives humanity direction and hope, writes John McClean.

People of faith consistently engage in monetary and non-monetary acts of service, within the church and the wider community. However, these acts of service, particularly informal acts are often not recorded or articulated.

Candidate forums are an opportunity for politicians to hear Christian concerns, and for Christian voters to hear directly from their candidates on a variety of issues and make a wise choice.

The gospel is the answer to insecurity and fear, writes John McClean. “It assures us that God is for us and holds us, that Christ keeps us safe and promises our future. It points us away from ourselves and our fears and directs us to our God who is our light, our salvation, our stronghold.”

The book explores our truth problem, starting from the most obvious to the most personal. It then shows how the Bible gives the answer to our truth problem in the person of Jesus, full of grace and truth, writes Tim Wonil Lee.

When Christians speak on political issues, their speech ought to honour God and honour his image in others, Christian or not, argues Stephen McAlpine.

As the Presbyterian member of the NSW Government’s Faith Affairs Council (FAC), I had the privilege of participating in some of our communal responses to that tragedy.

Technology is changing how we think about our world and our selves. Christians need to think through how to respond in a way which is faithful to God’s revelation in the Bible. 

Are we witnessing the beginning of a new-Christian era, or could we find a society even more individualistic, even more hardened against the unique claims of Jesus Christ?

So people are coming back to church, looking for the benefits that religion offers, such as meaning, community, stability, even hope. But does coming back to church mean they are coming back to Jesus? It may not be that simple.

There’s been a lot of discussion this year about a vibe shift away from secularity and a quiet revival of interest in religion. Sociological information shows that cultural expectations have indeed changed. The so-called ‘buffered self’ is cracking.

“How should faithful Christians respond when the law increasingly conflicts with biblical convictions?” This question has moved from theoretical to urgent as Australian Christian institutions face mounting legal challenges over gender identity, religious hiring, and sexual ethics. Professor Patrick Parkinson's Unshaken Allegiance offers a timely...

Churches “can and should” engage with historical recording and retelling, argues John McClean, because God works through history, and because Christianity is a historical faith, not only grounded in biblical history but also passed on through the generations.

Christian think-tank Freedom for Faith is urging Australians to issue a timely reminder to the federal Labor government to keep its election pledge to maintain religious freedom.

Christian lawyers are called to see every person in a legal matter as their neighbour, whom God has brought into their lives, writes Lucy Han.

Christians should seek to be responsible and informed voters, called to vote with a concern for their neighbour and the common good and not simply from self-interest, writes John McClean.
