A very important update

This Word of the LORD has been foolishly counterfeited in recent months by various ministries in Great Britain and it will be rejected by many when it is proclaimed authentically. The pastoral leaderships of churches in the United Kingdom, (and historic umbrella organisations), are not called and gifted to speak this Word; they are being called to listen to it, to humble themselves and to repent for having not. As a symptom of the root problem within the Church, when they attempt to act outside of their calling they only compound the problem, further harming the Body of Christ. They have refused to be trained by anguish and, as such, they are not qualified or empowered to speak. The institutionalised professionalism and arrogance of their half-baked commentary is rebuke-worthy.

The Wrestle With Demons

“The devil’s cleverest ruse is to make men believe that he does not exist” Baudelaire

If you have been a genuine Christian disciple for any length of time you will likely know that Paul’s words in Ephesians 6 are a good place to start to understand something of our daily warfare.

This short video is to whet your appetite before the longer conversation about the demonic over on the Into the Pray podcast below.

Advice for New Christians | Born into the Apostate Church

“Hi Nick, I’m a pretty new Christian and fell right into cessationist theology. This video is making me question everything but I don’t know where to begin. I’m wondering what denomination are you in? I’m feeling called to find a new Church…”

A new Christian asked me a very good question on my last video whilst expressing their state of being overwhelmed at the apostate chaos of the Church. These are some of my prayerful thoughts in response.

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.

You can listen to it here: https://podcast.firebrandnotes.com/900157/14838902-looking-back-at-lausanne-1974-2024-50-years-of-false-covenant

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.
