David Robertson

Keir Starmer's gnosticism

The marginalisation and exploitation of women continues apace â aided and abetted by intellectuals who don't think, and politicians who don't understand where their virtue signalling in support of the latest progressive cause will lead.

Why Boris' climate sermon at the UN was far too simplistic

Like a bad sermon of the narrowest fundamentalist preacher, it all sounded so simple, so black and white. Which makes you wonder why the Prime Minister did not take on board that message in earlier years â when he was a climate change sceptic.

If politicians can't stand up for Rosie Duffield, surely the Church should

In the beginning God made us male and female. A man is an adult human male; a woman is an adult human female. If our politicians can't say that, can our church leaders?

Christians should not be punished for refusing to bow down to progressive ideas

It seems as though 'progressive' governments all over the world are quite happy discriminating against people in the name of being anti-discriminatory.

The repercussions of 9/11 are still being felt today

It is understandable and right that we reflect on this dramatic day â a day whose repercussions are still being felt and lived out today.

Vaccine passports for church?

We must tell government now that there are no circumstances in which we will obey any government dictate which tells us how, when and who can worship.

Why is the Scottish government telling people to wear masks in churches but not nightclubs?

This has nothing to do with 'the science' and everything to do with what the government thinks it can get away with.

John Lennon's hopeless humanist hymn, "Imagine", is the wrong song for the Olympics

After yet another Olympic appearance, it seems as though "Imagine" has become the secular humanist hymn for our times, the godless prayer that must be uttered on any occasion â sometimes even by Christian clergy.

Would Jesus wear a mask?

In the good old days, churches used to split over issues like wearing hats, speaking in tongues, or having guitars in worship. Today we fight over wearing masks.

Mark Driscoll, Mars Hill and the lessons still being learned

There is a surprising new podcast which is storming the podcast charts throughout the English-speaking Christian world. Like all new 'you have to listen to this' podcasts I was sceptical. But for once the hype is accurate.

The Pride of England â sport, Christianity and nationalism

It's all very well the English dressing as crusaders, the Danish as Vikings and the Scots singing about winning a battle 700 years ago. But when we cross the line from language, myths and emotions from the distant past, and turn them into life-or-death issues for the present, we have gone too far.
