Often at political hustings I have been asked: "What does the Christian Party stand for?" I summarise it in three ways. We stand for the main points that other parties stand for, without their unchristian polices. Then I summarise the other Parties quickly. Finally, I say: "So if you mix the blue, red, yellow and …

Christian discipleship baptism
Christian Baptists teach “believer's baptism”, that one should only baptize those who profess faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour. In practice, this means that they baptize adults and do not baptize infants. The problem with this is that the Bible does not teach this. A second problem is that these Baptists baptize only Christians …
Christian usefulness
The usefulness of Christians is paramount. It is not enough to listen to sermons and to worship God, but God expects us to be useful. "Faith without works is dead." James 2:20,26 Jesus' Sermon on the Mount – Matthew, Chapter 5 Immediately after the Beatitudes Mat 5:3-11, in which Jesus documents the characteristics of godly …
Old heads on young shoulders
There are many adages from a by-gone era that need to be resurrected for the benefit of today's youth. One is that "you cannot put an old head on young shoulders". The cult of youth and the pandering to youth and their opinions, on the principle that they are the leaders of tomorrow, has a …
Hiding from accountability
Officials in public life are hiding from accountability. How do we improve public accountability? It did not begin with Kwasi Kwarteng's "not-so-mini" budget, which proved to be the biggest tax-cutting budget in a generation, disguised as a mini-budget, for which he did not provide the usual Report on the Economic and Fiscal Outlook from the …
Poor losers
One advantage of teaching sports to young people is so that they may learn that there are winners and losers. Young people need to out-live being "poor losers" and sport is a good playingfield to teach and learn this. It seems that many politicians have still to learn this. Too many behave like spoilt children …
Bankrupt – but why?
Slowly the public is learning that the UK is bankrupt. If you want to hear it explained, listen to Neil Oliver's introduction on GB News tonight about money, where it comes from and how it is created. The Scottish Christian Party told you about it over 10 years ago, but few people listened. Britain is …
This is a new experience
The death of their monarch is a new experience for the majority of people alive in Great Britain today. It is new for me and multitudes like me, who have known no other monarch than Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, who died today. Through our whole life she has been simply "The Queen". Her …
Black on white
After red on red or blue on blue, we now have black on white. Black on white is intensifying in the USA. The language battle and the debate on racism is becoming so bad in the USA that the rich are buying second passports to keep ahead of the expected civil unrest by leaving the …
COP26 and all that
The world has focused its attention this week on the UN Climate Change Conference UK 2021. The 26th conference COP26 is being held in the UK for the first time – in Glasgow, Scotland, my native city, and so I suppose that I should make some comment on what is frightening so many people. Panic …
