Could the arrest of Graham Linehan be a turning point for the UK?
It is no surprise that he was targeted. But it is a shock that the police are now apparently being used as the thought police for the trans activists.

The cautionary tale of ‘Sophie from Dundee’
When you take one particular case you had better make sure that you know what you are talking about.

Kate Forbes' departure from politics is a huge loss for Scotland
We pray for her – and her family. And we pray for a Scotland that is now far poorer because of the loss of its best leader.

The example of Jimmy Swaggart
The Church in the West has already had enough scandals this century. We don’t need any more.

Glastonbury and the banality of evil
When the Glastonbury mob were calling for death to the IDF, they were in effect calling for the death of Israeli Jews.

The quiet judgement on the UK
The judgement of God has finally come upon the United Kingdom. Quietly. Silently. Like a thief in the night. It came in the form of an irrational, emotive and Godless parliament who this week voted to permit the killing of babies in the womb up until birth, and has now introduced the National Suicide Service, with its vote to permit assisted suicide. God has given us what we voted for.

The UK Parliament’s vote for abortion up to birth is absolute evil
Let us weep and mourn for today’s post-Christian, pagan Britain. A Britain where praying near an abortion centre is illegal but killing a baby up to birth is legal.

A word of caution about the 'Quiet Revival' in the UK

Increasingly Western societies, as they turn away from their Christian roots, become cultures of death.

One historic press conference, two bad Messiahs and three great truths
I know only a limited amount of what happened in the past. I’m not sure I understand what is happening now. And I certainly don’t know what is going to happen in the future. But I do know three great truths, which both give me hope and help me to understand.

USAID and the Church
They say that the best disinfectant is light. In that case, the American government seems to be going through a deep cleansing, and the revelations about USAID and government spending have certainly been enlightening!

Fact-checking JD Vance on Scotland's awful abortion clinic buffer zones
JD Vance spoke truth to power. The fact that power doesn't like it doesn't make it false.

The battle of the theological politicians
I know that in today's politicised, polarised world it seems impossible to answer the question without immediately being accused of being 'right wing' or 'left wing', but let's have a go: what does the Bible actually say amid all the claims and counter-claims?

Speaking the truth to power â a letter to Bishop Budde
Perhaps there is a role for such political comment (some might call it prophetic) but I suspect not at a service which is supposed to be about national unity.

The problem with the King's Gospel
If only the King would listen to what Jesus teaches, he would find that peace on earth comes only through Christ, not through the many contrary faiths and philosophies.

Mythmas or Christmas?
Jesus is no myth. He is the ultimate reality and he is the reality we all need.
