I hate to break it to you, but – we are all going to die. Not of the coranavirus – well, not all of us, at any rate. Some will die of the coronavirus. Some will die of cancer. Some of us will die of old age, some will die Continue Reading
New: Understand the Bible discipleship programme
I’ve previously mentioned my new project, Understand the Bible. I have been working hard on this for the past few months, and I am pleased to announce that I’ve just launched the new Understand the Bible discipleship programme, which is available on the website. “Discipleship” is a word which simply Continue Reading
Jonathan Fletcher, Steve Timmis and the danger of tribalism
As you may have seen in the news last year, Jonathan Fletcher, former vicar of Emmanuel church, Wimbledon, has been caught up in a storm over abuse – without going into all the details, see e.g. this article. Then, in the news last week, I read that Steve Timmis, CEO Continue Reading

Christians are not left or right (politically)
Over the last year or two I’ve got into YouTube: it has gradually become a valuable resource where you can access high-quality content. One of the channels that I’m subscribed to is Douglas Carswell – he is formerly the MP for Clacton (who achieved notoriety by becoming UKIP’s first MP Continue Reading
Will there be sex in the new creation?
A few weeks ago I read a post over on the Think Theology blog called “When I grow up” by Andrew Wilson. I often enjoy his articles and this was no exception. He quotes C.S. Lewis: I think our present outlook might be like that of a small boy who, Continue Reading
A few thoughts on the EMA and Conservative Evangelical Subculture
