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 …
The price of losing Christian values
There is a saying: "You won't miss the water till the well runs dry." Britain's wells are running dry. The caring professions are running dry, which many now view simply as jobs without a sense of vocation. Speaking truth is running dry in politics and public life Isa 59:14. Christian conscience is seeping away from …
God’s restraining grace
Not many people know about God's restraining grace, and more so when it is being withdrawn from societies that were once predominantly Christian. Multicultural Britain Whatever way one defines multiculturalism, multicultural Britain highlights that the Christian culture that once predominated in Britain no longer does so. There are many consequences from this, but one effect …
Can Christians change?
It used to be said that people will change their spouse before they will change their bank account. Although this may no longer be true, yet there is an equivalent consideration. Can or do Christians change their political party? Do you know any? If so, are they many? The rise of ReformUK to overtake the …
The poverty of discussion
I have noted the poverty of discussion elsewhere as part of a longer discussion about Christian behaviour. However, many people will not read long posts and will not concentrate on much more than a few pararaphs, so this post is short because the topic deserves an introductory blogpost of its own, if for no other …
Non-Crime Hate Incidents
Repeatedly I hear commentators wondering from where the philosophy behind Non-Crime Hate Incidents (NHCIs) arose. NHCIs are topical because The Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson was investigated by Essex Police for a tweet that she had deleted a year before. In an interview with Nigel Farage on GB News [at 19:05 hrs], she highlighted that NHCIs …
Access to GB News
Is GB News a closing shop? GB News, like Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter, was an attempt to promote Free Speech against the censorship that spiralled out of control during the coronavirus pandemic lockdown. I have watched GB News and supported it from before and through the whole of its existence. I have watched as …
Proof by assertion
More attention should be paid to this error, but not many people notice it, so it goes unchallenged. "Proof by assertion" is my coined phrase for those statements made by anyone who thinks that something is proven simply because they have asserted it. Some of these people even expect you to believe what they say, …
Has Al Fayed got away with it?
Not at all. With the increasing number of allegations against Mohamed Al Fayed emerging after his death, some have expressed their annoyance that Fayed has got away from justice, the extent of his misbehaviour coming to light after "the horse has bolted". Similar sentiments were expressed when Harold Shipman committed suicide in prison, as if …
