Some years ago I wrote a blogpost 'Was the rich young ruler actually Saul of Tarsus?' It is one of my most-viewed blogposts to date and some people have commented on it, but without reading the Bible commentary that could be downloaded from the blogpost. So it might be helpful to simply state in summary …

George Soros, the UK and the EU
George Soros is known as the man who broke the Bank of England. In 1992 Soros bet against the pound and made billions of pounds when the UK came out of the Exchange Rate Mechanism. Similarly Arron Banks who supported Brexit made millions of pounds on the foreign exchanges from Britain's decision to exit the …
SNP Growth strategy
The Scottish National Party seems to think that the Scottish people have short memories. Was it not, and is it not, SNP policy to join the European Union if Scotland separates from the UK? However, new members of the EU must join the euro. So why does the new SNP policy document published today speak …
Even the Royals need the Gospel
The royal family need to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the King of kings, because they need the Gospel as much as any of us. It is probable that some of the royal family do not know what the Gospel is, which may explain their reaction to the sermon at today's royal marriage between …
The false doctrine of secularism
Secularism is a false religion preaching many false doctrines. Not least among them, and one of its foundational false doctrines, is the natural goodness of man. This false doctrine of man's natural goodness is contradicted by the content on every news channel of the mass media. Daily the world's news bulletins tell us about man's …

Does Europe really love the UK?
Congratulations to Israel for winning the Eurovision Song Contest 2018, in spite of the vocal Palestinian campaign interfering with the process. "Next year in Jerusalem" is a common Jewish phrase, and the Eurovision rules are that the next contest will be in the country of the previous year's winner. We may expect the same Palestinian …
BBC shows My Scientology Movie
BBC 2 showed Louis Theroux's 2015 documentary My Scientology Movie last night. It demonstrates yet another example of the cynical manipulation of mankind's religious conscience. It is but one of many examples. Theroux could not understand how intelligent, apparently normal, kind, well-meaning people, and Tom Cruise is one of the most high-profile scientologists, could be …
The UK death culture
Student suicides are rising. The BBC reports that students have been let down by the failure of universities and of mental health provision. Rather, a generation is being let down by the secular religion that excludes Christianity from public life. The anxiety, depression and despair among those who are sufficiently gifted to reach university needs …
