In recent days on social media, a Christian man with a prophetic gifting put out a suggestion regarding the Bible, “We don’t have the whole picture.” He made it clear he’s not coming against the Bible; but by way of an archeological finding, he said he believes there are, “more books coming.” He said he’s …

Which Choice for You: the Bread Loaf or The Key?
A cartoon doing the rounds on “social” media recently depicts a disheveled down-and-out man in a prison cell kneeling at the bars; one hand on a bar, the other hand holding a stick to draw a loaf of bread towards himself from outside the bars. Next to the loaf of bread lay a key to …

Become a Delivery Boy; Become a Delivery Girl
When asked by His disciples why He spoke to the people in parables, Jesus’ response, as translated by JB Phillips New Testament has impressed me of late. This is why I speak to them in parables; because they go through life with their eyes open, but they see nothing, and with their ears open, but understand nothing of …

The Ultimate Tragedy
“How patient God was,” I’ve heard it said, in reference to the wickedness of the antediluvian world. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually Genesis 6:5. Amen, indeed; not only patient, but merciful! We don’t really know the …
Driven by a Spirit of Wickedness
The online newspaper headline reads, “Let God be a ‘she’, says Church of England women’s group.” First they got their female priests, then they got their female bishops, and now they want their female God! That’s not what they’re saying but that’s what they mean. The Bible’s male language and imagery describing God, doesn’t suit so they want …
Mouth-muzzled Wimps
Bible Christians speaking up for God don’t go too many days without someone challenging them on His existence. “What proof?” they ask. “Where is He?” they ask. “I see no evidence of God,” they say. Some people are mildly curious, but most are not; they’re simply smoke-screening. The same applies to the sneering, the cynical and the silly among them who take delight in speaking …
The Arrogant Atheist
A well-known British atheist and entertainment personality was recently asked what he would say if he came face-to-face with God. Response: “I’ll say: bone cancer in children, what’s that about? How dare you; how dare you create a world where there is such misery that is not our fault? It’s not right. It’s utterly, utterly evil. …
The Devil’s Darts
The visiting Bible teacher told us, “Continue to read the Word of God even when you don’t understand it. It washes away the rubbish anyway.” I’m glad I took his advice. Back then, my head still contained too much rubbish – humanist rubbish, religious rubbish, superstitious rubbish, pagan rubbish, New Age rubbish, Marxist rubbish, Satanic rubbish …
It’s s though They’re Doing it behind God’s Back
Lately I’ve been giving some thought to the theologies of two Christian people who, to me seem to represent the reason why Christianity is increasingly unattractive to people. One is strongly doctrine-based and the other is strongly works-based. It is as though the first person is saying, “If you don’t believe this…….then maybe you need …

It Was as though Superman came Out of The Sky
A man once told me that he was the only survivor from a motor car crash. There were three of them in the vehicle but on impact he was thrown out onto the ground suffering relatively minor injuries. He said, “Somebody was watching over me that day.” An ex-World War Two navigator in a bomber aircraft shared …
