Where Are the Prophets to Our Church and Culture?

by Bill Muehlenberg, CultureWatch: Amazing and much-needed prophetic words from the late, great Francis Schaeffer: The good news is this: when the times get the darkest, God will raise up prophets to confront the situation, speak to his people, and declare much-needed truth. But the bad news is this: these prophets are invariably rejected. When they are the most needed, they are often the least heeded. Simply read the Old Testament to see this happening time and time again. The same when...

The primacy of Evangelism, the shiftiness of Jung and the disappearance of freedom of speech….

by Gavin Ashenden, Premier: “Once upon a time I fell deep in affection with Carl Gustav Jung.  It turned out to be a dreadful mistake. It took me up a very attractive blind alley with only a nicely camouflagedblack hole at the very end.   My reasons for befriending Jung were good ones. It was the mid 1980’s and the great enemy of faith was Freud. Reductionist, atheist and pseudo-scientific psychologist, asFreud was, Jung was a great antidote to his aggressive anti-religious scientism....

Violence is being normalised in the name of anti-violence

by David Robertson, theweeflea: It must have seemed like a good idea at the time. Australia’s ABC has a debate programme called Q&A, which last week decided to have an all feminist panel and moderator. It went badly wrong, to the extent that the programme has now been pulled from all of ABC’s platforms and is the subject of an investigation. Among the panelists, who were all incredibly ‘woke’, was Egyptian-American journalist Mona Eltahawy. She was asked a question...

Should we take God out of school assemblies?

by Tim Dieppe, Christian Concern: Humanists UK are campaigning to take God out of school assemblies. The latest initiative is a resource hub “Assemblies for All” which showcases over 200 assemblies which avoid reference to God. They want to change the law which currently requires state community schools to have Christian assemblies. But if we take God out of the equation, what will replace Christianity as the source of our moral values in society? What does the law say? The law as it stands...

Have LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP rights had their day?

by James Parker, MercatorNet: There are signs that the movement is imploding. “The Times They Are A-Changin’,” sang Bob Dylan 55 years ago as a social juggernaut slowly created the Sexual Revolution. Dylan foretold how topics which previously had been controlled by healthy societies, would take centre stage. These included abortion, sodomy, divorce, and any sexual deviation from the covenant of true marriage between a man and a woman. The bulldozing of relational mores and traditional...

A hymn for Remembrance Sunday

by Margaret Ashworth, The Conservative Woman: Today, services of remembrance will be held at war memorials in towns and villages all over the country, each with its list of names of those who died to keep Britain free from tyranny.

Remembrance? No, our valiant years are being erased

By Chris McGovern, The Conservative Woman: TODAY is Remembrance Sunday. In Whitehall, the great and the good will bow their heads in recollection of the fallen. They should also bow their heads in shame for the low status conferred on that memory in the Government’s National Curriculum for History in English schools. Neither World War One nor World War Two is required teaching. Instead, these nation-defining events are relegated to the status of ‘Examples (non-statutory)’ that ‘could’ be...
