Is it consistent with biblical theology to claim that, on occasion, only The Rosary will rid our homes of demonic nuisances? This is precisely what the former Chaplain to the late Queen Elizabeth, Gavin Ashenden, claimed in his conversation with me. But spiritual leaders in God’s house are required not to be likeable but rather faithful to Scripture.

The Alpha Course — Nicky Gumbel’s Anti-Reformation Legacy
PodVlog Episode #3, discussing Nicky Gumbel’s #AlphaCourse, is from the world-famous Dunnottar Castle followed by a detour in from the wind to a coffee shop, (we resisted the delicious cakes on offer).
The conversation today follows on from Nick’s more in-depth podcast a few days ago in which the sobering reality of Billy Graham and John Stott’s Lausanne “covenant” was exposed for what it is.

Looking Back at Lausanne (1974-2024): 50 Years of False Covenant
This important episode of Into the Pray features the disturbing details (including lack thereof) of the Lausanne “Covenant” and Movement that’s followed since 1974.

Disciple, on Whom do you rely?
Do you ever despair of life itself? That’s OK. Watch this for 3 mins. Maranatha
Our Podcast | From the Temple of Mammon
Episode #2 of these new PodVlogs, discussing the Iranian church and the unchanging nature of biblical theology and doctrine, is from a very busy shopping centre and coffee shop on Good Friday, (we resisted the delicious cakes on offer).
Jason Upton?
I’ve been asked about my recent quoting of a Jason Upton lyric during a recent prayer and I wanted to respond to that publicly in light of the intimate connections between false doctrine and charismatic worship music/leaders….
Our Podcast | From A Beach Cafe
The “Into the Pray” podcast lands this week in a new “on the run” vlog-form. Please let us know in the comments section if you like it!
Episode #1 is from a very blustery Scottish beach in bright sunshine, taking shelter in a warm cafe with excellent coffee, (we resisted the delicious cakes on offer).
Our conversation this week is to get us all to think about the spiritual climate that we’re all living within — ie that the multiplicity of different Christian doctrines and denominations that are tolerated (and even celebrated) equate to nothing other than deep spiritual sickness and spawning false gospels.
What Would King David Say to the NAR?
What would King David’s response be to the so-called, “New Apostolic Reformation”? (10 min vlog during sunset earlier this evening following a friend’s email) 👍
UK Government & Extremism — Reassured?
The British Government recently introduced a new definition of “extremism” following controversial events in Rochdale, England. This raises concerns about its impact on free speech and potential loopholes in the government’s guidelines. For further details, a 3-minute video is available at https://youtu.be/9nKv5AWQYPQ, and a 30-second video is accessible at https://youtube.com/shorts/Rl1UOK5Z6s0?feature=share.
Could You Help Me Make These Videos?
I am looking for some help to make a series of films about arguably the most monumentally important theological emphasis in the Bible. I need an experienced cameraman/film-maker (or two) to hike a mountain with me, a studio space to record some Bible teaching components, some finance to purchase some lighting, a microphone and yourContinue reading “Could You Help Me Make These Videos?”
