Dispensationalism, Post-millennialism and Amillennialism are increasingly untenable. Historic Premillennialism is what I am most persuaded by. But why? In short: the Church’s weakness isn’t a sign that God’s plan is failing, but that the stage is being set for the final act: the endurance of the saints through the “great falling away” followed by theContinue reading “Which Eschatology?”

The Sound of Silence: Ryle, Lloyd-Jones, and the British Exile
What is going on? AI transcript in question here. A friend recently challenged my central polemic of God Closed Church, doubting that such giants of the faith as J. C. Ryle and Martyn Lloyd-Jones would find common ground with a thesis he deemed too “radical”. Yet, when we subject this claim to a logic-driven exchangeContinue reading “The Sound of Silence: Ryle, Lloyd-Jones, and the British Exile”
Reaching Out to Our Deceived Young People
The Esther 4:14 Fallacy: Destiny or Discipleship? In a recent episode of Into the Pray, Mairi and I challenge the modern “seeker-sensitive” church’s habit of cherry-picking scripture for motivation rather than transformation. Using the iconic story of Esther, we looked at the common interpretation of one of the Bible’s most famous verses.
When we tell young people this lie…
When the likes of Alpha, HTB, Life Church and all other ecumenical/seeker-sensitive “churches” teach our young people that “going hard after God” looks like this, I can only pray this:
Ruth, Fertility & the Fear of Man
Can I alert you to two pieces of digital content that will genuinely prime you for eternity?
Don’t watch it if you aren’t interested in being challenged.
But please do read and watch and be challenged to turn to God in ardent prayer, adoration and action.
Fertility & the Sovereignty of God
Leah, Rachel and Jacob all make decisions at different moments which place these things over and above God’s design for marriage and family. Scripture does not hide this and the story is presented honestly, allowing us to feel the raw emotion and weight of their choices. Personally, it helped me to see where I wasContinue reading “Fertility & the Sovereignty of God”
God’s Design for Conception
In 2020, my husband and I started our podcast, Into the Pray, and over the course of several months, we hosted conversations all about the sanctity … God’s Design for Conception
Why Write a Confession?
What is left unchallenged becomes normalised. What is normalised becomes defended. What is defended eventually becomes orthodox in practice. Root-level exposure of false doctrine is not an unfortunate byproduct of faithfulness. It is one of its defining expressions. The idea that naming falsehood is intrinsically suspect is not biblical. It is a modern therapeutic instinct.
A Confession for Faithfulness to Jesus Christ in a Period of 21st-Century Church Apostasy
In a time of profound spiritual disorder, this confession urges the Church to reclaim fidelity to Christ amidst prevalent idolatry and compromise. It emphasizes the vital need for doctrinal clarity and authentic repentance, calling believers to renew their allegiance to Him. Our hope rests in Christ’s imminent return, beckoning us to prepare as His faithful Bride.
The Charismatic_Cessationist Trap
This evening, in part 5/6, I read through chapter five of God Closed Church, the book that explores the reality of the judgment of God amongst an unfaithful Church. This week I emphasise the cessationist and charismatic debate.
It takes great strength to sit appalled and a covenant people who refuse to ‘hear’ deserve to be closed.
