Dear BPCWA worshipper, Besides the situation where our Lord returns and raptures His living children to Himself, death is inevitable for us on earth. Rich or poor, royalty or beggar, young or old, no one can escape when their time on earth is over. No one really knows when they’ll die, though that day of death is already fixed, “Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass” (Job 14:5). Have you ever thought of how to help your family prepare to be ready after you depart? If so, what Biblical instructions must you give to your family now? Or as part of the bereaved family of

Dear BPCWA worshipper, During the recent English Basic Bible Knowledge classes, I finished covering the 10 commandments.  Among what was covered was the 9th commandment, which is “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” (Ex 20:16).  This includes being true to the covenants that we voluntarily enter into.  Yet, many Christians view covenants simply as mere agreements to be entered into and to be freed of when it doesn’t quite sit with them on some matters.   I want to understand this further today, particularly regarding the view of covenants in the church.  Importance of covenants.  Our God is a LORD of covenants.  Even our salvation is a covenant – the covenant of grace.  We are so strong in

As briefings are announced and announcements increase, this would typically stir even more excitement for those who have signed up. We are thankful that many were able to take leave from their work to

Dear BPCWA worshipper, God has warned that pestilences will be one of the end times signs, “For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places” (Matt 24:7). While the world is still reeling from COVID-19, it is now struck by Monkeypox outbreaks in multi-countries, even in Australia. Since pestilences will be on the increase and can affect us personally, how should the Christian respond? Personal experience.

Gone are the days when Perth was so well “insulated” that we went about maskless
