The forthcoming book, ‘God Closed Church’, chronicles the pivotal moment in modern world and Church history when Yahweh closed His Church. The first five chapters were written in Scotland, UK; the final sixth chapter is written on an Island off the coast of Vancouver, Canada.

Proof: John MacArthur is wrong
As I was beginning to write the penultimate chapter in my new book this week, I felt rather out of my depth. I know that cessationism is not the ‘slight’ that it is often treated as being by those who don’t find solid biblical teaching in charismatic circles, (hence their arriving at the doors of the cessationists out of a sense of necessity), and I desperately wanted to get it right.
Having been reading the first half of Romans 8 in the same moment, I prayed silently in my heart and asked the Spirit of Christ (8:9) to help me, not just merely ‘to be right’ but rather to get this important communication to the beloved bride of Christ right.
Please watch this video, below, and take note of what happened by way of 1 Corinthians 12:8.
New vs. Old Christian
What happens when an old Christian (deceived by the whoredom of the Church) is resisted by a new Christian (who is weeping over the state of the Church)?
Worried about salvation?
Some Christians struggle with a settled sense of assurance more than others, though we all struggle with this in some ways. It is the fruit of a genuinely redeemed person to be in awe not in presumption. I trust that this brief video overview of J. C. Ryle’s superb chapter on the subject will bring you a seep sense of comfort and point you to the unchanging Word of God.
The Wife of Youth
The wife of youth, that wants her husband some years, and expects he shall return to her from over-sea lands, is often on the shore; every ship coming near shore is her new joy; her heart loves the wind that shall bring him home. She asks at every passenger news: ” Oh! saw ye my husband? What is he doing? When shall he come? Is he shipped for a return?” Every ship that carrieth not her husband, is the breaking of her heart

Testing the spirits
Following my statement about Chris Wickland last week, (for whom we are praying), please let me steer you in the direction of two pieces of helpful content…
A Statement Concerning Pastor Chris Wickland
Nick Franks expresses deep concern about Chris Wickland’s “prophetic” ministry, labeling it as harmful and unfit for leadership. Franks recounts his attempts to communicate his objections directly to Wickland, emphasizing the importance of discernment within the Church. He calls for Wickland’s resignation and urges the Body of Christ to evaluate these issues.
A Prayer of Emergency
You’ll probably want to grab your Bible and a pen for this video. What do we pray in an emergency…not so much a geo-political emergency but a spiritual emergency as seen by the pandemic of Christian leaders who fail to think and pray like Ezra, Nehemiah and Daniel?
Please spend a few minutes with me considering the main themes of Ezra, Nehemiah and Daniel chapter 9 and a prayer of emergency for the glory of The Holy One of Israel and his wayward people.
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.
