Why the Chinese Communist Party is a threat to the West
The Chinese Communist Party is using the West's own business, education, media and technology as weapons to undermine the democratic countries.
To wear or not to wear a face mask?
The mask question is fascinating. At one level it seems so simple and obvious to some people that wearing a mask is our Christian duty. On the other hand, there are those who argue that it is your Christian right not to wear a mask because the mask is a sign of a tyrannical government and besides which, isn't it useless anyway? So who's right?

If you take a stand for the unborn, prepare yourself for a lot of abuse
In today's society, however, a politician taking a stand for the unborn, is a target for incredible pressure and abuse, especially if she is a woman and a Christian.
Do Chinese lives matter?
The CCP hates the Christian church and we can only fear for what the Christians in Hong Kong will face in the coming years.
Answering the Bible critics who love to cite the laws in Leviticus
There is an anti-Christian meme that just keeps resurfacing in discussion and debate. It is a clip about the Bible from the best TV series ever, The West Wing, and is often cited by Bible critics as though it were unanswerable. It's not.
Time to cancel the cancel culture
Banning material because it offends, or even has the potential to offend, is the mark of an authoritarian dictatorship, rather than a liberal democracy.
J K Rowling and the Deathly Hallows of the Culture Wars
It's embarrassing for us as Christians that a children's novelist is braver and more of a prophet than many church leaders.
Why I won't/will bend the knee
Racism is a sin. But I won't be taking the knee - and I won't be joining the BLM marches. Here's why.
Can the American Gospel save America?
Are we witnessing the end of US hegemony in the world? Are we witnessing the end of the US as we know it? Some will wish that it were so. For them the end of the US is good news â although they have no idea what the world would be like without the US. For me and many others, we are watching the decline of the US with a growing sense of dread. Is there no good news?

Convenience Christianity leads to cliched Christianity where life is full of slogans and pep talks, clichés and emotions, but little reality.
Jesus's plea to Russell Brand
The comedian/commentator Russell Brand is a stimulating and fascinating cultural icon. This week I was so moved by one of his vlogs that I sent him the following letter
The Church cares about the unborn, but what about the elderly?
It is noticeable and sad how many churches have pulled out of care home provision.
The problem with the Green movement
The Green revolution either presupposes that human beings are essentially good and can sort the problem ourselves; or that we are so evil we should just be wiped out for the good of the planet. Neither is true.
The antidote for despair
The book of Revelation ends by telling us that the leaves of the trees are for the healing of the nations. Where are those leaves?
What does the Book of Revelation say about Covid 19?
It won't be long before someone is publishing an End Times book, showing how Revelation prophesied Covid 19 and how it is a sign of the End. I don't believe that â in fact I regard that as an irresponsible use of Scripture in direct defiance of John's warning at the end of this book, not to add anything to his words. But there are basic principles which, like the warning in Revelation 8, make this apocalyptic book a real revelation for us in our crisis.
