I have been supportive of GB News. Without it, the nation would be less informed because the mainstream media, like the national churches, are failing the nation. 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 …

The Book of Job
I reached a milestone today. I have completed the last chapter of my translation of the Book of Job. I am also scheduled to complete the last chapter of my commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith, composed during my weekly Zoom discussions of each successive section, begun during the 2020-2021 coronavirus pandemic lockdown.

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 apostle Paul on the flesh and spirit
"The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." The apostle Paul in Gal 5:22-23.

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 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. These topics were …
