Britain is on the verge of legislating for atheism. If we pass an Assisted Dying Bill we are legislating atheism because such a Bill operates on the assumption that there is no life (or pain) after death. This is atheism. Abortion operates on the assumption that those involved in this despicable act will not be …

Christian funerals
The nature of funeral services in the Scottish Highlands is changing. I have attended countless funerals in my lifetime, and last winter has taken its toll upon a significant number of people that I knew. Witnessing these funerals I draw attention to the subtle changes that are taking place. Instead of seeking God's blessing upon …
Two religious errors within an hour
I have a blogpost on evangelical errors and another on academic errors. However, I witnessed two errors within an hour today that I thought I would highlight. The first error was at a midday prayer meeting where we read in the New Living Translation at John 7:8 Jesus saying: "I’m not going to this festival, …
The decline of Christianity in Britain
Most of you reading this blogpost will know of numerous incidents that shock you to the extent that you wonder how they could be allowed to happen in Britain. From the Prime Minister selling out the Chagos Islands, to the rape gangs getting away with their wickedness through collusion with officialdom, there is a long …
Wide of the mark and missing the point
In my experience, there are many books, articles, lectures and sermons that are wide of the mark, which miss the point of their own topic. Instead of developing this point, I simply begin a list here to demonstrate it. On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, says absolutely nothing about the origin of species. …
Authority, qualifications or excellence
Excellence should be able to demonstrate itself without appeals to authority or qualifications. Let those who claim to have authority or expertise demonstrate it by their conversation and teaching. The apostle Paul demonstrated the standard: "... but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.” 2Corinthians 4:2. …
Extraordinary providences and the existence of God
I propose an easier argument for the existence of God than you have probably heard so far. Historically, there are a few standard arguments for the existence of God, but not everyone can understand them. They are known as the ontological argument (the most perfect Being necessitates His existence), the teleological argument (design and fine-tuning …

Global religion
The rapprochement between the apostatizing Church of England and the Roman Catholic papacy is reaching a tipping point. The first point in King Charles III's message to the nation today was that he and Camilla "were delighted to make a state visit to the Vatican where we prayed with pope Leo in a historic moment …
Holding the line
Democratic voting is not the answer to "holding the line", whether it is ecclesiastical, political or secular. Democracy works when the loser accepts the result of a vote, but accepting defeat has been abandoned in recent decades. Donald Trump had no sooner won his first term in office as the US President when protests began …
Who are the 144,000?
Who are the 144,000 mentioned in the Book of Revelation? "I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel." Revelation 7:4 The Book of Revelation is a mystery to most people. Although we are told …
