Today marks 100 days since the last successful people smuggling venture to Australia.
The security of our nation is the most important responsibility of government. This government takes its responsibilities seriously.
The Coalition went to the last election with clear policies to stop the boats. We are keeping our promise to stop the boats by doing what we said we would do. These strong policies are saving lives.
Under Labor, more than 800 boats arrived carrying over 50,000 people, including more than 8,000 children. This catastrophic policy failure resulted in over 1,000 lives lost at sea and $11 billion in Budget blowouts.
The Government has made the difficult but necessary decisions to stop the boats.
Operation Sovereign Borders is working as intended. The people smugglers understand that the way to Australia is closed.
The progress we are making in strengthening our borders is restoring confidence in our migration programme. We are an immigrant country and a successful immigration programme requires that it operates with integrity.
While this milestone recognises the progress that we have made, the Government remains resolute in our determination to stop the boats.
Regards,
Tony Abbott
Prime Minister

The Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ (Romans 8:15, NIV)
I have seen a billboard that asked the question, “Who’s the father?” It was advertising DNA testing. They can take a child’s DNA and test another person’s DNA to see if it matches in order to scientifically prove if two people are related.
When you gave your life to Christ, the Scripture talks about how you became a new creation. You were born into a new family. You entered into a new bloodline. Now imagine that somehow we could do spiritual DNA testing. They took a sample DNA from your Heavenly Father and then a sample DNA from you. They ran all the tests. If you are a true son,it would come back a perfect match. Proven beyond all doubt that you are His child. You have His DNA. You came from a royal blood line.
Now don’t you dare go around thinking that you’re average. “I could never accomplish my dreams.” “I’ll never get out of debt.” Are you kidding? Do you know who your Father is? You have His DNA. He created worlds. There’s nothing too much for you to achieve.God bless you.

You Are The Salt Of The Earth!
When Jesus says:"You are the salt of the earth." Jesus is saying "Be Authentic." Be the Real Deal. Beloved, an inconsistent lifestyle repels people from the church. So, how authentic is your walk? Have you crucified your flesh? We may be the only Bible that our neighbor may ever see.Don't stop the journey half way.
A price has being paid for you.knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.1 Peter 1:18-19. Jesus clearly expects the world to be transformed by our presence. Hear Jesus words to us: You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. Are you bearing fruits? Are you abiding?Be authentic.He says further that "Without me,you can do nothing.With Him and His words abiding in you,ask anything,He will do it.God bless you.
