Dear Friends
Greetings in the precious Name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
From the Frontline: Hate Speech Bill’ Threat to Freedom of Speech, Conscience and Religion
You can tune in to the latest From the Frontline podcast on www.FrontlineMissionSA.org: https://fromthefrontline.podbean.com/e/from-the-frontline-episode-260-hate-speech-bill-threat-to-free-speech-and-religion/ throughout the world there are moves to criminalise free-speech with so-called "hate speech" bills where a person could be convicted of a crime for saying something, for writing, or posting something, which someone else sees as "offensive" or "hurts their feelings". So even where no malice is intended, if somebody else perceives what you said, or posted, as negatively impacting their emotions, you could be guilty of a "hate crime". This subjective standard can pose a very real threat to freedom of thought, freedom of conscience and freedom of speech. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.” Galatians 5:1

Upcoming Events:
Reformation Society: the Power of Pentecost
If you live in Cape Town, please join us at the Reformation Society this Thursday evening, 25 May, at 18:00 for supper and Fellowship and at 19:00 for a presentation on the Power of Pentecost. 28 May is Pentecost Sunday. What is the significance of Pentecost? How is Pentecost Sunday relevant to the church today? What does the Bible teach concerning Spiritual warfare and spiritual weapons? What are we as Christians called to do when confronted by so much evil in the world today? We need Christians endued with supernatural power to win the spiritual war at present raging (Acts 1:8). There are far too many of our friends, families and churches that are being undermined, chained and crippled by the forces of evil (2 Corinthians 4:4). The time has come to rise up and go out in the power of God’s Spirit and annihilate wickedness and worldliness. We must set the prisoners free (Isaiah 61:1). We must win the victory (Romans 8:37). We must win our world for Jesus (1 John 5:4) and in the power of the Holy Spirit and in the Name of Jesus we shall, we must, we will prevail. In order to set free the prisoners of sin and satan the Lord has given believers power to bind evil (Matthew 12:19). We can restrict, limit and oppose the powers of rebellion, doubt, unbelief, sin, perversion, slavery and hatred (Matthew 18:18). We have power to overcome the gates of hell, to storm the very strongholds of evil (Matthew 16:18-19) and to set the prisoners free (Luke 11:22). To announce liberty to the captives (Luke 4:18). Even the demons must obey us when we give them a command in Jesus Name (Luke 10:17; Acts 16:18; Mark 16:17). This is because, as we place ourselves in submission to the power of God, we are able to resist the lesser power of the enemy (James 4:7). “Greater is Him who is in us, than him who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4

In the lead up to the Zwingli 500, marking the initiation of expository preaching (1st January 1519) we preached through every book of the Bible, publishing a series of the Bible in a nutshell in a popular local Christian magazine in South Africa and publishing the Old Testament Survey and New Testament Survey books. We also held Biblical Preaching Workshops and helped publish the Biblical Preaching Handbook. Our Reformation500 facebook page has also received a wide reach and many engagements as we promote Reformation doctrines and history and work for a fresh back to the Bible Reformation in churches, communities and throughout the continent of Africa.
