Racism, royals and a silent revolution

The recent strong exchanges between Royals over ‘who is racist’ have boiled over into a media frenzy for all to see. Racism has raised its ugly head yet again..

  • Building a strong foundation

    My father was a builder. He used to build houses and when I was a teenager, he would often ask me to help him as he laid out the foundations.

  • Invoking the name of God

    If you read my last article you will remember I spoke about the hysteria surrounding end times prophecies and dreams. Hundreds if not thousands of YouTube video dedicated to prophecies about ‘the rapture’ and that it was imminent.

  • The Laws of Leviticus – A reflection on the most boring book of the Bible

    One particularly intense way of describing our salvation keeps repeating itself in the history of theology. The second century author of the Letter to Diognetus calls it “the sweet exchange”, the great Reformers, Luther and Calvin, refer to it as “the wonderful exchange”.

  • Is God God? Where’d He Go?

    Often I wonder why God won’t overtly appear to people. Can’t The King of Physics just transfigure himself out of clear air, strike stunning eye contact with unbelievers, and beyond spoken words manifest his glory to them as the very Word?

  • The problem with cancel culture

    All throughout history humans have been cancelled for different reasons.
