With reference to the pastoral words of Jesus in John 10, Nick briefly discusses the frightening reality being revealed in the Church, (on this first day of campaigning for a new general election in British politics), when national “prophecies” and “prophets” are demonstrably being proven false, (or, at the very least, in error). But willContinue reading “When National “Prophecy” Proves False”

When Reproofs Prove Ineffectual?
But when reproofs themselves prove so ineffectual, that they are more offended at the reproof than sin, and had rather that we should cease reproving than that themselves should cease sinning, i think it is time to sharpen the remedy. For what else should we do? To give up our brethren as incurable were cruelty, as long as there are further means to be used.
What of Your Church/Pastor?
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 thinkContinue reading “What of Your Church/Pastor?”

3 Questions For You, Christian
When you consider the personal and corporate aspects of life as a disciple of Jesus Christ, are you able to acknowledge the need for radical change or, basically, do you just think you’re on the right trajectory?
The 1% Church (Stop & Think)
Asaph’s twelve remarkable songs (50, 73-83) are punctuated with repeated moments in which the only appropriate response was to stop and think (selah). Please watch this video below and take a moment to share to your networks for me. Thank you.

Touch some Christians, or Christian institutions, and let the touch be even in relation to something more of the Lord Himself, and you will find an uprising of jealous regard for the institution which utterly blinds to that possibility of an extra measure of the Lord Himself.
Christ Rejected; Christ Withdrawn.
“It is a solemn thought that John the Baptist’s words in this place apply strictly to thousands in the present day. Christ is still standing among many who neither see, nor know, nor believe. Christ is passing by in many a parish and many a congregation, and the vast majority have neither an eye toContinue reading “Christ Rejected; Christ Withdrawn.”
Coronating Sacrilege 👑
Worse than the Royal wedding and whorish mule of 2018, like a pig placed to wallow in a holy Hebrew temple was the Catholic coronating ceremony in Westminster this morning. Two moments in particular made me sick; one that made me weep:
The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats (1919)
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
