"Australia: An Underappreciated Nation"
I appreciated the article "Australia: An Underappreciated Nation." I have long been blessed by the freedom and opportunity that exists here "down under" and it is good to be reminded that freedom is never free. Your article also brought to mind Luke 12:48: "To whom much is given, from him much will be required." It will be interesting to see if the upcoming generation of young Aussies realizes how much they have been given not only by God, but by many of their brothers who died for their sakes, and how much they are prepared to sacrifice to keep it.
Perhaps the outward-looking focus of Australia's war efforts is a reflection of the country itself. Aussies tend to look outward to our coastlines and beyond. If we look at ourselves historically, we end up looking to Europe. If we look at ourselves financially we see Asia and the United States. It seems wherever we look, it is outside of our own world, and that is, in part, why we Australians see ourselves as part of a world community.

"God, Science and the Bible"
Two thumbs-up on the addition of the new feature "God, Science and the Bible." This is an informative new section to an already excellent publication. The Good News and all of your other publications have taught me more about the Bible than I could have ever hoped to learn on my own.

The Good News
I want to thank you for your articles on "Winning the War Against the Family" and "Is America Still a Moral Nation?" Families are the building block of a healthy society, and thus healing begins with the family. If families begin to heal—truly becoming families as the Lord God wants them to be in the Bible—the whole nation will heal. And if the Ten Commandments were sincerely followed by the majority of the population, the entire nation would begin to heal.
