Conversion is needed now more than ever
If you want a community characterised by good neighbours, love of the stranger, the honouring of the rule of law, protection of conscience, the treasuring of the individual, and in this case particularly, the practice of forgiveness and reconciliation, it can be found through conversion to Christ.

Civil War England and the Church
It is a tiny corner of English church history. Yet, this period where people's allegiances, beliefs, practices and consciences were severely tested, has many echoes in debates and challenges across churches today.

We can help or hinder Christian leaders in their roles, and placing them on pedestals, even higher than our Lord provides a foundation for pride and a context for a fall.
The new Amazon cartoon series denigrating God
Whether or not we believe in the existence of the satanic, we have to be aware of the implications for the stability of society when we celebrate the disruptive, the overthrow of cultural norms and the relentless pursuit of the transnormative and 'alternative'.
