I don’t know about you, but with wall-to-wall Covid19 news everywhere you go it makes me long for the good old days of Brexit!! With so much fear and anxiety filling the airwaves, let me share a really short, personal Easter message with you: DO NOT FEAR Let me give you two very good reasons […]
Yesterday the scripture reading in the service was of The Good Samaritan – a parable so overly-familiar that its power and shock are somewhat lost. Here is my take on it, originally posted 2 years ago but even more pertinent now than ever… Recently I was involved in a version of “The Moral Maze” – […]
Another re-post from the excellent “A Grain of Sand“. Unconscious bias training originates in the Marxist concept of ‘false consciousness’. The aim of the process is to persuade people that they are despicable on account of the deplorable views they don’t even realise they have. The fact that they don’t know they have these views or, even worse, insist on denying that they have them, is proof of […]

We need to turn to each other and ignore politicians who offer nothing but more of the same empty rhetoric. We must seek out honest and objective journalists as well as new alternative media platforms. We must leave technology platforms that censor us and tell us what to think. We need to reclaim the Internet […]
A pastor of a church in Newquay, Cornwall has been told not offend the LGBT+ community to avoid breaking the law. Christian Concern report that Josh Williamson ‘was warned by police to keep his views in a ‘safe environment’ after being targeted by a wave of anti-Christian abuse – including threats of violence and calls… […]
If your sermon could be preached at a local mosque or synagogue, it is not authentically Christian. If you only mention Jesus in such a way as a Muslim could agree with everything you say, you have not preached a Christian sermon… Planes, Trains and Asinine sermons
Black lives matter: dangerous & divisive. Some of the most fervent white supporters of BLM are the same kinds of cosmopolitan people who previously marched for Remain. Then, they used a constitutional dispute to elevate themselves above their supposedly parochial fellow citizens. Now, they display their superiority by drawing attention to the sin of their […]
Outward & inward. Head & heart. Confession & conviction. All of Jesus. None of me. https://bible.com/verse-of-the-day/rom.10.9/2915
Rod Liddle cracks me up. I think his home-school curriculum could prove popular! It’s all part of my ‘Smash the Teachers’ alternative syllabus for lockdown — which has also recently involved a module entitled ‘How the British Empire Brought Decency, Democracy and Wealth to a Billion Grateful Natives’. Her papier-mâché bust of Sir Cecil Rhodes […]
Hopefully, the not-too-distant future will judge which of the national responses to covid19 were the most effective. My money is on the Swedish one. They might currently have a relatively high mortality rate, but for them the Covid crisis is pretty much over. As the author says, “Sweden ripped the band aid off quickly” Whilst […]
Who killed George Floyd? George Floyd did. Alas, I strongly suspect that the chances of Derek Chauvin – or any of the other police officers involved – finding a judge with more moral courage than Pontius Pilate are extremely slim. Who Killed George Floyd?
