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 Common Grace
Saving grace, restraining grace and common grace. What is the difference? Grace has many meanings, but in a Christian context it is distinguished from mercy. The grace of God is the love of God to those who do not deserve it Rom 11:6. The mercy of God is the love of God to those who …
There is no post-Christian era
A good New Year to my readers. We sometime hear people saying that we live in a post-Christian era. There is no such thing – Jesus Christ continues to reign over the Earth from His throne in heaven Ps 110:1. He continues to advance His kingdom and He taught His Church to pray: "Thy kingdom …
False Christianity
Jesus warns us against false Christs Mat 24:24 and each of the apostles did the same. So, how do false Christs operate? First, they use Christian terminology. Counterfeits always imitate the real thing. Are you able to detect counterfeit Christs, counterfeit Christianity? Secondly, they use Christian terms in a different way than the Bible does, …
Where is GB News going?
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 …
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Not many people know about God's restraining grace, and more so when it is being withdrawn from societies that were once predominantly Christian.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 …
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. I …
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 …
