So we can create robots in a few years, but God cannot create man in a day? The inability of secular minds to imagine the power and creativity of God as Creator is wonderful to behold. Hyper evolution is the new term to hype up man's creativity. It is astonishing to see what man can …
Browbeating by secularists
From referendums to climate change, secularists will not tolerate differences from their opinion. The failure to accept election results is a manifestation of the teenage tantrums of modern society – recent well-known examples being the Scottish Independence Referendum on 18/9/2014, the Brexit referendum on 23/6/2016 and Donald Trump's Presidential election victory on 8/11/2016. The secularist …
So you think you don’t have enough time?
Some people think that they don't have enough time to investigate the claims of Christianity and in particular the claims of Jesus Christ. They think that they have better things to do with their time. Only – they do have enough time. God has given them the time. It is called their lifetime, but more …
Those who have no hope
There are many people living hopeless lives, and some go to the extreme of committing suicide. Dante's poem imagines the supposed inscription at the entrance to hell: "Abandon every hope, you who enter in." It is amazing that those on earth with no hope would hasten their way towards that place with no hope. However, …

Academic exegesis
Academic exegesis is that form of interpretation which copies academics or authority figures. The Lord Jesus Christ cut through this in His teaching. Academic exegesis is seen in the translation of several biblical passages. Bible versions are the product of teams of academic translators pooling their collective knowledge to produce a final decision on the …
American Independence Day
Today, American Independence Day, reminds us of 'no taxation without representation'. This was the principle on which the American War of Independence was fought. It was not simply a desire for independence, but a revolt against undemocratic control. Another blow for freedom was struck exactly 200 years later on 4/7/1976, when the Israel Defence Forces …
Equality and children
Highland Green MSP John Finnie wants to criminalise parents who smack their children. However, social services are already over-stretched and already have too much power to intrude into family life. He has launched a consultation, which closes on 4/8/2017, as a prelude to his planned Private Members' Bill to ban smacking by parents. It is …
Signs of the Times
We are living in interesting and significant times, with a number of notable anniversaries co-inciding. 31st October 2017 is the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation and the 100th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration. Martin Luther unwittingly commenced the Protestant Reformation when he posted his 95 Theses for discussion on the door of the Castle …
Do you honour Jesus Christ as Lord?
What sort of honour do you give to Jesus Christ, and to what extent? Many people know that He claims to be the Son of God, but this washes over many of them as if it is just another item of news. Rather, it is so significant that it cannot be ignored and deserves to …
