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.

One of the chapters of Dr. ES Williams’ book featured in that conversation covers Nicky Gumbel’s ecumenical Alpha Course. 😭

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.

The late Billy Graham and John Stott believed that “fundamentalists” were sinful in their “individualism”…but was this true and is this true today?

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.

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?”

Do you recognise prophetic censure as well as prophetic promise?

In order to realise the ultimate heights of the prophetic promises of Yahweh’s redemptive masterplan for His own glory, the covenant people of God today must urgently recognise that prophetic censure is mysteriously and gloriously part of that realisation.

The presumed innocence of churches and church leaders who boast “sound doctrine” is arguably the greatest obstacle that must be overcome for this eschatological timeline (depth of censure—height of promise) to progress. I fear that, as the redeemed/being redeemed Body of Christ today mirror ancient Israel/Judah, we are, in effect, currently stalled…
