In 2003 he was elected to the board of the International Fellowship of Christian Believers (formerly OFFI) with responsibility for the African continent and in 2004 was asked to serve as its international president. At the end of 2003 he was called to assist Burbank Community Church (Los Angeles, California) as it’s senior pastor.. In 2009 the church moved to new premises in Sun Valley and us now known as Sun Valley Community Church (SVCC). Anton continues to teach at SVCC. It has been his life-long quest to rediscover New Testament Christianity and to call Christians and churches back to knowing, believing and living the Bible. He has planted a number of churches that are based on these principles. He is passionate about a correct exegesis of the Word and specialises in expository preaching and teaching.

What of the Watchmen? (How to Discern 6)

Each believer has responsibility for himself to be on the lookout for error and deception (Revelation 3:11). The Lord has also set the elders in the local church with the duty to watch for wolves who would seek to attack the flock (Acts 20:28-30). In these last days error is multiplying and spreadin...

What Will You Do With Grace? Grace - 3

It is amazing how many things become part of our thinking without any biblical basis. One such idea is that grace is unconditional and that God extends His grace without reservations. This is simply not true. Yes, God’s grace can never fail, is limitless, and He extends His grace to all. But in orde... Read More

What Will Your End Be?

What is more important? To have a good start to life or a good ending? Obviously the end is more important than the beginning. Jesus told a parable about two young men. One had a bad attitude at the beginning but he changed. The other began with a good attitude but turned bad in the end (Matthew 21:... Read More

Who Are Your Friends?

“As Christians we should not be friends with unbelievers while remaining loyal to our “brothers” no matter what they do”. That is the view of many Christians. But is that correct? It seems pretty obvious that we need to be friends with Christians and shun those who are not. For centuries Christians ... Read More

Who is God?

What is God like? This question should be one of the most prominent questions at the forefront of every believer’s mind. Yet, so few actually ask the question and simply assume that the impressions they have gained from various sources are correct. In fact, it seems to me that most people have a per... Read More

Who's Responsible?

One of the questions I often struggle with is why so many people are being deceived into believing a gospel which is patently false. Related to this question is one posed to me by a friend recently: “Does God hold people responsible when they have been deceived by their leaders into believing error?... Read More

Who's Who? (How to Discern 5)

It is important that we check every word we hear or read against the plumbline of the Bible. In addition, we need to check the source of the information as well. We must check two things: The message and the man. Many times we will hear messages that sound spot-on, and may even be doctrinally correc... Read More

Why Do Evil Men Prosper?

This question plagues every believer who is trying to live a godly life and finds life hard while others who are evil and ungodly seem to prosper and have a good life. Sometimes we look at false prophets and wolves in sheep’s clothing who fleece the sheep, lead many to destruction and wreak havoc in... Read More

Worse Than Sodom?

A line in this week’s Time magazine struck me. It was speaking about someone who was “the political embodiment of the megachurch approach: “get people in the door with rock or cappuccino or stand-up (comedy) – but get them in the door.” The article went on to quote The Speaker of the (US) House of R...

You Surely Don't Believe the Whole Bible ?

After last week’s article in which I called for a greater commitment to the Bible, I received a number of responses. A few were in agreement but the majority were in opposition. Which leads me to realize that less and less Christians truly believe that the whole Bible is indeed the Word of God. All ... Read More
