Off the back of the recent shenanigans in Rochdale, England, with George Galloway, (the guy who grabbed a coffee with Saddam Hussein in the ’90s), this week the British Government released a new definition of “extremism”. But how does this bear on free speech and what of the obvious loopholes in the Government’s “extremism guidelines” document?
Stand with us as we produce books, videos, podcasts and, ultimately, radicalised Christian community
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 your earnest prayer. Could you help? (see links below). Thank you.
Filmed this week at the base of the mighty Lochnagar, I’ll let this video do the talking: The LORD God Almighty is confronting His people…
I recently had a significant conversation with a dairy farmer, Edward, while he milked his cows. Edward opened up about the inordinate pressures that he and his family were being put under by the godless government of the land which now means that a bottle of water is more expensive (of more worth) than a bottle of milk. But what does this have to do with eating at McDonald’s and shopping with Amazon?
To reach the ultimate heights of the prophetic promises of Yahweh’s redemptive plan for His own glory, the covenant people of God today must urgently recognise that prophetic censure is a non-negotiable part of that realisation.
The presumed innocence of churches and church leaders who boast “sound doctrine” amidst the quagmire of spiritual adultery (any form of idolatry whatsoever) is arguably the greatest obstacle to this eschatological timeline (depth of censure—height of promise) progressing. I fear that, as the chaotic Church today, undeniably mirroring ancient Israel/Judah, we are chronically stalled, falsely secure and spiritually strayed.
Hear as though for the first time Jeremiah’s anguished outburst to Jerusalem,
“…how long will it be before you are made clean?”
Jeremiah 13:27
Please don’t wrongly assume that this anguished cry of the prophets is at odds with Jesus’ words pronouncing our cleanness of new spiritual birth, (John 15:3). In fact, our obedience in eagerly desiring the gift of prophecy (the testimony of Jesus), as those who have already been made clean by His blood, includes following Christ’s example of anguish for the ultimate prophetic promise of the parousia.
Then, and only then — within a thawing sense of ultimate spiritual reality coming to eclipse all our eviscerated professionalisms — will our true spiritual state emerge in our sobered national psyche. As the LORD bit by bit increases pressure upon His people, as the Church faithful begin to stir in their soiled beds from extreme drunkenness, will there be a determination to hear His shocking rebuke?
The motivation for radical reform will not be our selfish sanctifications and fruitfulnesses, (nor will our desperation for fresh spiritual air suffice), but rather the all-consuming zeal for His incomparable worth and glory.
Rarely do I read a blog that requires my simply forwarding it on. Please take the time to carefully read Greg Morse’s blog here.

Greetings All!
In today’s episode of Into the Pray, Mairi and Nick provide a follow-on from this YouTube a few days ago that probes the general response of church pastors to the prospect of radical change. Please leave your comments on the YouTube video.
In short, what are the dynamics that cause the disconnect between good, godly men whose doctrine is sound…and the radical change that is urgently required?
After an intro responding critically to a T.A-Sparks devotional, Mairi and Nick go through a list of thoughts that is just the starting point of this urgent conversation….
The baton has certainly been dropped over many generations. This generation (mainly the children) are paying an unknowable price for such irrelevant spiritual slop plastered over with the Name. It’s right to think about “going back to the start” (i.e. the ancient ways of Jeremiah or David in Psalm 139) but I do not think that it will be a question AT ALL of looking to the establishment of any kind. We need to stop thinking in terms of entities/establishments and begin recognising that individual sheep of His flock are grazing in many different fields. I believe that they are each, by name, being called out from all contexts of spiritual filth into a purity of doctrinal clarity that is very basic but entirely incompatible with the relativist approach of the denominational circus. Like Paul, we need to have more men, women and children who are consumed by the glory of God and the faithful taking of fatherly responsibility to have their churches in good shape.

EGALITARIANISM is one of several key demonic strongholds currently hamstringing the Body of Christ.
