Victorian Premier Steve Bracks resigns – July 27, 2007

Steve BracksSteve Bracks, the leader who introduced the Racial and Religious Tolerance Act into Victoria (the law which raged with controversy over 5 years), announced his immediate resignation, followed by his Deputy John Thwaites, also resigning from his position in Parliament. This change of leader to the State Labor party has shocked many. We do know that many people have been and are praying for the best possible leaders to bring Godly influence accross our State & Nation. We continue to expect this in the days ahead.
It is our hope that his replacement, John Brumby, will be someone who has even better values than Mr Bracks. We wish him all the very best & God’s blessings, as he spends time with his family.

Could set crucial precedent and have far reaching effect for Egypt’s Christians.

(Cairo, Egypt)—In a move that could have far-reaching implications for Egypt’s Christians, an AFP story in the Middle East Times reports that Egypt’s official religious advisor has ruled that Muslims are free to change their faith as it is a matter between an individual and God.
Mufti Ali Gomaa“The essential question before us is…can a person who is Muslim choose a religion other than Islam? The answer is yes, they can,” Grand Mufti Ali Gomaa said in a posting on a Washington Post-Newsweek forum picked up by the Egyptian press Tuesday. Without elaborating, Gomaa added, that if the conversions undermine the “foundations of society” then it must be dealt with by the judicial system. (more…)

Vic State Government (ALP) About To Pass Decriminalization of Abortion Bill

Dear Family in Christ,

1)What an amazing article by Andrew Bolt! If you didn’t read it in the Herald Sun Newspaper on the 25th July, the article is below for your reference.

Another Gay Activist Shocks Nation with News of Salvation and Healing from Gay Lifestyle

Michael Glatzeby Art Moore/TN : Jul 4, 2007 : WorldNetDaily

“God came to me when I was confused and lost, alone, afraid and upset. He told me—through prayer—that I had nothing at all to be afraid of, and that I was home; I just needed to do a little house cleaning in my mind. I believe that all people, intrinsically, know the truth. I believe that is why Christianity scares people so much. It reminds them of their conscience, which we all possess.” (more…)
