BBC NEWS reports on the largest ever pollice operation that is under way today in London. Not since the second world war has there been such a deployment of security officers by the UK government on UK soil. All pretense that we are trying to carry on as normal has been cast to one side and the police were positively crawling over the tube network on my way home tonight. Everywhere you turned you saw coppers. Meanwhile tonights Evening Standard... Read more

I have been listening to one of pyromaniacs sermons again, which I very much enjoy. I’m going to have to with great trepidation disagree with him about one point. Phil claimed in his sermon that the visit of Paul to Jerusalem spoken of in Gal 2 is the same event as the Jerusalem council. This may seem like a minor issue on a level with the debate I raised concerning whether Paul had ever met Jesus before his death. It... Read more
Guardian Unlimited reports : “Hundreds of thousands of Muslims have thought about leaving Britain after the London bombings, according to a new Guardian/ICM poll. The figure illustrates how widespread fears are of an anti-Muslim backlash following the July 7 bombings which were carried out by British born suicide bombers. The poll also shows that tens of thousands of Muslims have suffered from increased Islamophobia, with one in five saying they or a family member have faced abuse or hostility since... Read more
La Shawn Barber s doesnt think so and lays into “Positive Discrimination” with characteristic vigour and with a courage that being Black herself allows: “Just like any member of the human race, blacks can be quite hypocritical. Back in the day when skin color discrimination harmed blacks, they righteously rebelled against it. Today, skin color discrimination benefits blacks, and they hypocritically embrace it and demand even more………..I can say with 99.9 percent certainty that those who endured billy club beatings,...

The other day I mentioned T.D. Jakes and said I was surprised he hadn’t been mentioned in peoples’ lists of favorite preachers. I have found an interesting article on him from CNN – not many of the preachers listed by me or other bloggers as their favorites will be profiled on CNN I suspect! Here are a couple of quotes: “When it comes to rhetoric,” says Paige Patterson, a leader in the predominantly white Southern Baptist Convention, “the best Anglo... Read more
The response has been great so far, but I am eager to hear more about the preachers that have changed your lives. Why not tell us more about them on your blogs? Keep it positive, and better still point me to a sermon that is available online that represents the preacher at their best. I want to use this as a spur to listen to some new preachers myself to see what I can learn from them. Many of the... Read more

Blogotional did a great job of bringing together my call for us to learn from any corner we can with pyromaniacs concerns about the decline of the concept of evangelical as in any way useful as a definition. One of the things that Phil and I spoke of minutes before the first london bombers was what we termed an evangelical war over doctrine which was being fought by theological ‘terrorists’. Up till now I havent wanted to share that term... Read more
