There are a number of documentaries on the Clan Chiefs who used to run Scotland in days of yore. They still exist as nominal chiefs of the Scottish clans. However, the self-aggrandisement that is natural to the human heart ensures that Scotland and other nations continue to have their clan chiefs, for better or for …

What does secularism have to offer?
Secularism is a worldview that wishes and aims to abolish religion from public life and, if it can succeed, from private life also. Richard Dawkins wants to stop religious people having the "privilege of access to the levers of power and to the megaphones of influence". He has also called teaching Christianity to one's own …
Men of violence
Today is the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, the complex of German Nazi concentration and extermination camps during World War II. Each anniversary since 2005 is now commemorated as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Bible has much to say about violence. Many people do not read the Bible, so they do not know …

The Finishing Line
Today, I remember my late brother's birthday. He passed away a few years ago, beating me in our race towards heaven. The life of the godly is a long-distance race. The finishing line is in heaven. The apostle Paul speaks about it in Heb 12:1-2. The point he makes is that racers keep their eye …

There is no post-Christian era
A good New Year to my readers. We sometime hear people saying that we live in a post-Christian era. There is no such thing – Jesus Christ continues to reign over the Earth from His throne in heaven Ps 110:1. He continues to advance His kingdom and He taught His Church to pray: "Thy kingdom …
False Christianity
Jesus warns us against false Christs Mat 24:24 and each of the apostles did the same. So, how do false Christs operate? First, they use Christian terminology. Counterfeits always imitate the real thing. Are you able to detect counterfeit Christs, counterfeit Christianity? Secondly, they use Christian terms in a different way than the Bible does, …
Where is GB News going?
I have been supportive of GB News. Without it, the nation would be less informed because the mainstream media, like the national churches, are failing the nation. It has won several awards and news presenters like Nigel Farage, who has won the TRIC awards Presenter of the Year for the second year running, have developed …
