I heard a good comment tonight by Paul Embery that "the political class has got its head in the sand" and those politicians who are blaming social media, 'the far right', particular named persons such as Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage or Elon Musk, and other groups such as foreign states using disinformation are "not fit …

Superficial Christianity
Superficial Christianity can be measured in various ways. One measure is at the personal level and another is at the collective level. Personal Bible reading and prayer How many Christians read their Bible regularly, far less study it? Do they pray for the Holy Spirit in order to understand it? Can they manage to get …
The success and failure of Gentile Christianity
I wrote a blogpost on The failure of Gentile Christianity. This has been misread by some people as 'Gentile Christianity has failed'. The wish may be the father of the thought because there are some Christians who misread the Bible and conclude that things will simply get worse and worse. Misreading and misunderstanding is common …

The failure of Gentile Christianity
The failure of Gentile Christianity is predicted in Scripture at Rom 11:15. Its revival will come with the conversion of national Israel. Meanwhile, why has Gentile Christianity failed to convert the world? It has been successful in what the Lord called it to. It has evangelized the world Mat 28:18-20, making disciples of all ethnic …

The world is questioning US President Joe Biden's mental fitness and why he continues in office. Overstaying one's welcome is common in politics, as seen with leaders like Mugabe, Putin, and others. The solution may lie in mandatory mental health tests for presidential candidates and public education on humility and Christian values.
Eschatology
Eschatology is a complicated subject for many Christians, so that many do not pay enough attention to it. Some even make excuses for not doing so. Eschatology is the study of the future and in particular what the Bible has to say about it. It is important because it deals with life after death Jn …
The abuse of good words
There are many good words that are put to a bad use. To such an extent, that over the years I have had to find better terms for the point being made. Liberalism I have no blogposts on liberalism because the use of 'liberal' and 'liberalism' is too often the abuse of a good word. …
Hypercalvinism
It is not uncommon for Arminians to misrepresent Calvinism, not only with respect to doctrine but also by confusing Calvinism with hypercalvinism. American Arminians tend to confuse Calvinism with their misunderstanding of free will and divine election, from which they think that Calvinists do not preach the free offer of the Gospel.
