The Protestant nations of Western Europe have a great Christian heritage. Despite violent opposition, Protestants emerged from the fires of persecution to change lives, make history and transform nations. Faithful believers contended for the Faith, preserved and translated God's Word, Reformed the Church and vigorously proclaimed the Word of God to all nations. A Heritage of Faith and Freedom Christian civilisation achieved the highest levels of productivity, innovation, scientific discoveries, medical advances, missionary outreaches, works of mercy, successfully campaigned to end the slave trade and set the captives free, laying foundations for justice through the rule of law. The legacy of Faith and freedom through Christian Europe is unparalleled in the history of the world.

Luke 6:26 It is interesting how, in spite of all the warnings in Scripture against gossip, slander and tale bearing, just how much stock we tend to place in people's opinions. It is said that where there is smoke there is fire. However, the smoke may be no more than dust and hot air. Lies Travel Fast As Mark Twain observed: "A lie can travel halfway across the world while truth is still getting its boots on!"

Clearly, all authority is delegated by God and all authority is answerable to God. Authority is limited, delegated and accountable to God. Ministry of Justice The Bible is very clear that God has instituted civil government as “an agent of wrath to bring punishment on the wrong-doer.” Romans 13:4. Civil governments are called to a minister of God’s Justice: “to punish those who do wrong.” 1 Peter 2:14  In the light of the extraordinary campaign against Christianity on the University of Stellenbosch campus, many are asking if we are merely dealing with isolated incidences of anti-Christian bias and prejudice, or whether there is actually an agenda to hijack universities, infiltrate the news media, break down Christian standards of morality, discredit the family as an institution and undermine Christianity.
Cleon Skousen published the book "The Naked Communist" in 1962. On 10 January 1963, the official communist goals, as published and exposed by this book, were read into the Congressional Record. These are a few selected items from the published communist agenda:  Clear and Present Danger
In the early years of our Mission, the primary threats which concerned us were landmines, anti-personnel, anti-vehicle mines, the trip wire pomz, stake-mounted anti-personnel fragmentation mines, the jumping jack and a host of other Improvised Explosive Devices. In some areas the threat of ambushes, aerial bombardments and artillery barrages became our most pressing concerns. Daily Threats Today, while those continue to be concerns in some fields, a general lawlessness and increasingly violent crime, particularly in ANC-run South Africa, is an ever-present threat. We need to practise heightened situational awareness and be able to respond in a second to deadly threats on a daily basis.  To listen to the audio, click here.

Therefore the wrath of the Lord is upon you." 2 Chronicles 19:2 New World Order The first attempt to establish a New World Order was by the people who came to the land of Shinar (present day Iraq) and built the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:2-4). Others have tried since. Revelation 13 describes a beast with many heads and horns. The dragon gave the beast power, a throne and great authority. The beast mouthed blasphemies against God, blaspheming His Name, His Tabernacle and those who dwell in Heaven. The beast made war with the saints and gained authority over "every tribe, tongue and nation." "All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Revelation 13:8  To view the PowerPoint presentation, click here.

The Bible warns us: “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of the world rather than on Christ.” Colossians 2:8 Everyone is influenced by a worldview. Whether consciously or unconsciously, whether consistently or inconsistently, everyone is influenced by a worldview, their set of presuppositions and assumptions (which may be true, partially true or false). Our worldview consists of those sets of beliefs and presuppositions, which we hold about basic realities of our world. Our worldview determines our values, influences how we think and therefore guides how we live.  To see a video on meeting with Mandela Click here for
Part 1 and Part 2. To see a PowerPoint on this Article Click Here Resistance is Respected - Weakness is Despised There is nothing communists respect more than strength. There is nothing they despise more than weakness. Those people who think that they can calm the situation by bowing to the mob, washing their feet, or brushing, or kissing their boots, not only figuratively, but literally, have no idea that all they are doing is greatly aggravating the situation and encouraging the revolutionaries to demand far, far more. Never Bow to Bullies In my experience, it is absolutely essential that one never gives Marxist bullies, or mobs, a millimetre. If you give them an inch, they will take a mile. First-hand Experience Being brought up in war-torn Rhodesia, experiencing terrorism and revolution, working in communist Angola and Mozambique, being imprisoned in Zambia and Mozambique and in so many other cases I have seen: the more steadfastly and strongly you stand, the better. The moment Marxists sense weakness, fear, or compromise, they smell blood and will only howl for more and escalate their unreasonable demands.

Frontline of Resistance When Communism controlled one third of the world’s land surface and population, Rhodesia, South West Africa and South Africa were in the very frontline of the hot part of the Cold War, resisting the southward expansion of Soviet sponsored Communist terrorism. Hard Targets Other hotspots in the frontline of resistance to Communist Revolution were: South Korea; Chile; Taiwan (Free China); Afghanistan; Nicaragua and of course the iconic symbol of the Cold War: The Brandenburg Gate as part of the Berlin Wall, dividing the capital city of Germany between the Soviet occupied German Democratic Republic (GDR) and the Federal Republic of West Germany. The Hot Part of the Cold War However, after the conclusion of the Korea War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (in 1975), the hottest part of the Cold War was Southern Africa.

As a Missionary, who for 38 years has concentrated on serving persecuted Christians in Restricted Access Areas, I have travelled in 42 countries and worked in 38 countries across 4 continents. This included throughout Eastern Europe, behind the Iron Curtain, during the Cold War. Yugoslavia When I first visited Yugoslavia and heard people in Croatia speaking about their need for independence, I was highly skeptical that it could succeed. Yugoslavia consisted of six republics, five nations, four languages, three major religions, two alphabets, but only one political party – the Communist Party. Croatia In 1990, the first multiparty elections were held in Croatia. On 25 June 1991, Croatia declared independence, which came into effect 8 October 1991. By 15 January 1992, Croatia was recognised as an independent country by the European Economic Community. The aggression by Yugoslavia was effectively ended August 1995, with a decisive victory by Croatia. Since then, 5 August has been observed as a Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day. |

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
