Current Presbyterianism needs a Reformation as surely as Roman catholicism needed it in the 16th century, and still needs it in the 21st century. Roman catholicism never learned from the Protestant Reformation, but instead it battened down the hatches and carried on worse than before. This is a natural reaction, and not many people learn …

The Application of Christianity to Public Affairs
This, my personal blog, seeks to apply Christianity to personal and public life. Today's 70-minute interview on UK Column explains verbally how the Christian Party “Proclaiming Christ’s Lordship” seeks to apply Christian principles to public affairs. Our policies are here. I am the Scottish Christian Party's candidate for the Highlands and Islands Region for Thursday's Election to …

Prepare to meet thy God
Today the Scottish Parliament will debate an Assisted Dying Bill promoted by Liam McArthur, a Lib Dem MSP. It is the first of several parliamentary stages, which can be viewed here. The debate can be viewed live and retrospectively. The death culture – from birthdays to manmade deathdays. Why are people so ready to rush …
What is a Christian Voice?
I have often said that we need a Christian Voice in public life. However, my experience is that very few people know what this means, including Christians. I am 70 years old today and I have been involved latterly in Christian politics for almost 20 years. Many Christians in the UK do not know what Christian …
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 …

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 …
Where is GB News going?

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 …

It is an international movement and thus Labour parties throughout the world have an international interest to collaborate in attacking capitalism and its perceived trappings. Australia's Labour Party state premiers plan to snub [at 22:25 hrs] …
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 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. …
