The Queen’s Christmas Speech 2011

Last evening at church our Pastor mentioned in his sermon the Queen’s speech (Elizabeth II) and how she had very strongly mentioned The Lord Jesus Christ. Wanting to check it out for myself I can confirm The Queen, contrary to many a spineless politician, spoke of Christ as a unique person. And in the context it’s not possible to [...]

Goodbye old faithful

Christmas is a time for new things – and sometimes out with the old. Today I put into the bin our old Filter Coffee Maker . This was bought as a wedding present for us just over 28 years ago by my Best Man (Thanks Mike) and wife. My default is to try to fix things. [...]

Christmas Presents, Lights, Snowmen, Trees, Baubles & Babies

Christmas Presents, Lights, Snowmen, Trees, Baubles & Babies. These are some of the things that make up our modern Christmas and I’m sure there are a good deal more. This isn’t going to be a traditional or seasonal ‘Reformed’ bashing of these things – I love them. I wanted to step back a little from [...]

David Cameron, Christopher Hitchens, Martin Luther and Christianity

I cannot claim to see inside the heart of any man – this is the prerogative of God Himself ‘I the Lord search the heart’ but upon reading the recent speech by the Prime Minister I am left wondering what the (short-lived) fuss was about. He epitomises the art of the politician – to say [...]

Demolition and Presuppositional Apologetics

Dr Greg Bahnsen in part 1 of a series on Apologetics suggested that it was possible to start from anywhere or anything to prove the truth of Christianity. Why, because apart from the truth of God it is not possible to prove anything at all. I wanted to do a final post on the demolition [...]
