Mohabat News – Iranian Christian News Agency

I came across ‘The Mohabat News Agency‘ recently and thought it was worth sharing a link to their site with the hope that it would have a wide readership. Who are they? In their own words: ‘We are a group of Bible believing Christians who believe in propagating the word of God. All of us [...]

An Emerging Truth is No Truth at all

There are many problems with it, but here’s another problem with redefining marriage – as Cardinal O’Brien has rightly commented it redefines reality. Here’s why. We need a standard of truth to define reality, without it we are left to wallow in a sea of relativism. The book title by Greg Koukl (Stand to Reason) & Francis Beckwith ’Relativism:Feet [...]

The Aftermath of Abortion

The Pro Choice Abortion ideology present the only real difficulty about having an abortion is the hoops a woman has to jump through in order to get one. But there is a real ongoing cost to taking the decision to ‘terminate’ the child. To read about the journey one woman has made and is making [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Islam – Religion of Peace?

I’m learning more and more about Islam. I would like Islam to be a religion of peace – but is it, really? Today we had an Iranian couple with us for lunch – both Christians. They both came to the UK a few years ago and after arriving in the UK became Christians. Theirs was [...]

Riots in London

Rioting in the UK is not new. Going back just a few years I recall the Poll-Tax Riots, the Brixton Riots, The Toxteth Riots, Miners Strike Riots and a host of others that I either didn’t know about or have simply forgotten. Go back further and there will be many many more. My own mind [...]

What is Truth?

Some people might recall the above from the show trial of Jesus when Pontius Pilate asked him ‘What is Truth?’ (John 18:38) Let’s face it, it’s a good question though wrongly motivated at that time. In fact it’s often asked from a wrong motive. I have no evidence or data for this but people usually [...]

BBC ‘Life of Mohammed’ Observations Part 2

My last ‘review’ was very badly done. Let’s hope this is a bit better. Part 2 of the series deals with several hugely significant events. I don’t say I understand them but it is what Muslims believe. Rageh is unashamedly open about the fact he is a Muslim and I respect that. He is seen [...]

Then follow the link below and watch the video clip from BBC Question Time last evening. Peter Hitchens makes his point by telling it how it is – the audience [...]

Koran Burning

Here’s some very brief points on the latest Koran Burning episode and the alleged correlation with an attack on the UN in Afghanistan. 1. The (Fundamentalist) Pastor Wayne Sapp that burnt the Koran must be brain-dead or very near to it. 2. The Muslims that attacked and killed (beheaded some) UN staff are fully responsible [...]

The Default Position for Society

The judgement ruling against the Johns raises a number of issues, freedom of speech, human rights, discrimination, multiculturalism, diversity and so on it goes. I suppose Christians would see at least some of these things as opposed to their faith – and by and large they are, or at least are becoming so. The Default [...]

Here’s the blurb from the program notes: ‘Carl Trueman visits the program to discuss his much anticipated book Republocrat: Confessions of a Liberal Conservative.  Relishing the outsider role, Englishman Trueman provides a helpful critique regarding the current state of American [...]
