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 …
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 …

Political Christianity
Richard Dawkins calls himself a cultural Christian - the culture without the essence of Christianity. He is afraid of islam taking over Britain. Rupert Lowe is a political Christian and possibly Nigel Farage is also. Ben Habib might be the same. They are also afraid of islam taking over Britain. Their promotion of Christianity is …

Britain’s puerile leadership
The quality of political leadership in Britain is puerile, ever since the Conservative Party voted David Cameron as its leader. The Tories had been in the political wilderness during Tony Blair's triple premiership. They experimented with a few ineffectual leaders.

Since their employment in the war effort in WWI, some women promoted and developed the feminist movement. Men were pushed aside as women took control of their fertility, and since the oral contraceptive pill became generally available …

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, …
Music and puppet government
Dominic Cumming has confirmed, what I have often suspected, that Government ministers are just nodding heads for the civil service. They are briefed by the civil service and even cabinet meetings are choreographed. It must be depressing for thinking politicians that they are not allowed to express their own thinking. It is all scripted for …
The biblical Book of Psalms
Some things are hidden in plain sight. Such is my copy of the 1650 Scottish metrical version of the biblical Book of Psalms. It sits beside my chair and is one of the most influential books of the Bible, simply because I use it every day. Many Christians overlook the Psalms. The advantage of a …
