The content discusses the author’s reflections on the fear of man, particularly its impact within the church. During a call with Iain Murray, the author shares a prophetic experience that prompts concerns about a lack of corporate repentance observed at the 2025 Banner of Truth conference. The author critiques the focus on individual comfort over the urgent need for collective lament and a radical response to the Church’s spiritual state, expressing disappointment over a fundraising initiative overshadowing the call to repentance.

Which Eschatology?
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.
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.
Understanding Quasi-Christianity in Modern Britain
The debate over the authenticity of recent spiritual events in Britain reveals a chilling truth: what masquerades as Christianity today is little more than a veneer. The rise of quasi-Christianity, exemplified by events like Unite the Kingdom, signifies a troubling spiritual decline, marked by a lack of true repentance and heart transformation among leaders. Instead of embodying Christ’s teachings, these figures indulge in cultural nationalism, overshadowing the core message of the Gospel. As society crumbles morally, this counterfeit faith draws crowds but avoids genuine discipleship, presenting a dangerous façade that ultimately undermines the true essence of Christianity. It’s time to confront this deception head-on.
