God Closed Church

In a bold yet contentious assertion, this book claims that God Himself shuttered churches in 2020 due to widespread spiritual infidelity among His followers. It calls for a radical return to biblical doctrine and faithful preparation for Christ’s return, highlighting a small, aware remnant amidst the indifferent masses.

Peacetime Church in Wartime World 🍎

This week, Mairi and I enjoyed the beauty of stunning gardens while picking apples and filming a podcast about the Church’s evolution since March 2020. We’ll explore contrasting views and share insights from an upcoming ebook titled “God Closed Church.” Check out the YouTube preview!

I would rather die

“Elijah and other men of God in the OT who with radicality and severity — to the dismay of entire generations — made their appearance and to many seemed to be subverters. Enthusiasts do not arise on their own initiative. They think of themselves as called and ordained for their service, which excludes all purely personal interests. An intolerable burden rests upon them.” (Hans-Joachim Kraus)

Good friends of mine — good men — as well as the ‘bad figs’ in the Church whose error goes before them, (1 Timothy 5:24), think that I am wrong, that God didn’t close the Church en masse as an act of judgment, such is our spiritual whoredom.

Had the Holy Spirit not primed my heart to publicly call for such in January 2020 (before any sign of church closures being imaginable) perhaps I would be swayed.

But the LORD has spoken to my heart and far be it from me to deny that…I would rather die.

Why Church Leaders Rage…

“…if one’s appeal for moving on with the Lord seems to people to involve their having to move away from this or that or some other thing, then there is warfare; which shows that Satan in his eternal campaign of idolatry, has got a footing amongst Christians in relation to things which take the place of the Lord Himself. And you find, if you are spiritually sensitive, that you are not just encountering the established institutions, but you are encountering a terrific spiritual force.”

Turn with me to Jeremiah 24 and consider the basket cases of today’s Church leaders…

My message to Tommy Robinson

Dear Tommy,

The answer is not socio-political; it is spiritual. The end-game is not social justice; it is Christ’s return.

We pray that you will soon be saved and found in Christ.

Are We Unemployable?

The godless recruitment behaviour of employers in the world is not hugely dissimilar to the recruitment processes of the Church. What is this teaching us? How should we be prepared for the years ahead?

*HOW CAN OUR LOVE FOR CHRIST NOT GROW COLD?*

IVF

Church leaders don’t even talk about abortion, much less IVF, and yet, as Mairi explains, they are fertility practices from one and the same source…

Should Jermaine Jenas have been sacked?

Men in their forties are known as being in the most vulnerable demographic for suicide which highlights a duty of care that The BBC have to Jermaine as well as the women with whom Jermaine has been inappropriate.

Does what has happened here with Jermaine, unlike Huw Edwards, warrant being sacked? Does it require Jermaine to “lose everything”?

The BBC have thrown him under the bus because of their chronically damaged reputation, which lies in tatters, and their gross, amoral hypocrisy. It is they who should be sacked.

No Lasting City

In the midst of life’s complexities, we’re on a journey of faith, seeking true purpose and allegiance to Christ. As we navigate through fleeting moments, we ponder our priorities and willingness to embrace discomfort for the sake of spiritual growth. Let’s align our hearts with the path that leads to Him, the coming King.
