Challenging white Christian complacency about black suffering. Implicit racism is not a false trap and it can lead to repentance. God is on the side of the oppressed. Read more

This second discussion with our friendly physicist atheist was still not a slugfest (you can also see part one). We both intended to show that we can disagree agreeably. By the end I felt that in Billy Whizz I had a new friend. We spoke about absolute truth, morality, faith, hope, and suffering. So covered loads of grounds. I feel I understood his perspective and I hope he understood mine. It is sad how rarely something like this happens, and... Read more
Jesus wants us to follow him, not Donald Trump. We are saved by faith alone, working itself out in our lives in obedience to Christ NOT by also being a Republican voter. Read more
Here are two videos which address the response to my recent article on why we must pursue truth in the COVID19 pandemic rather than spreading lies. I urged us to respect COVID19 science. The first video and podcast was me talking about this article and the fantastically encouraging response I have received. It seems that many people share my concerns about how some Christians have been sharing things that are simply not true about COVID19 conspiracy theories. One point of... Read more

Sometimes we get frustrated because God is not answering our prayers the way we want him to. He hasn’t provided exactly what we asked for. Maybe we have not been healed. We are suffering and we cannot understand why he would leave us in this situation. We want him to do what we want him to do. But he wants us to do what he wants us to do. Whoose way will prevail? Your way? My way? Or Jesus’ way?... Read more
Packer and rest are not two words that really go together. His tireless work over decades had a huge impact on the Christian Church for good. His name rightly belongs in a select group who were used under God to revitalise the evangelical wing of the church in the latter half of the 20th Century. J.I Packer, John Stott, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Billy Graham and a handful of others formed a kind of yardstick of what it meant to be an... Read more
“Oxford vaccine causes double defence against COVID-19” was the overnight breaking news in the Telegraph. This could be the beginning of the end for COVID-19. Rather unusually there has been an unofficial leak from a “senior source” concerning the initial results of the Oxford Vaccine study. Astra-Zeneca shares have soared even though they are in a non-profit arrangement with Oxford University over this vaccine. Of course I am not in a position to confirm or deny this leak. But...
