The four horsemen of the Covid apocalypse
When the world is facing a deadly plague which is often conveyed in such apocalyptic terms, it seems unnecessary to add yet another article to the plethora of doomsday writings flooding our screens. But now that we are several weeks into the Covid 19 pandemic perhaps there are some general patterns we can discern and warnings we can heed.

Songs, spiritual and secular, to contemplate this Easter
If you miss singing with the Lord's people this Easter, like I do, let the power of music speak into your self-isolation.

No laughing matter: there's something greater at stake than the arrest of Rodney Howard-Browne
When a preacher is undermining the Church by his words and actions, and endangering the lives and souls of those within and without, it is incumbent on others who are teachers in the Church (the pillar and ground of the truth), to point out their error and as strongly as possible warn about the harm they cause.

What a government sex scandal and a preaching ban tell us about modern Scotland
Scotland is a warning to the rest of the Western world of what happens when you jettison your Christian foundations and have nothing tried and tested to replace them with, except the woke theories from academics in Harvard, Edinburgh and Oxford.

A mighty downpour in Australia
It is a propensity of human nature to be much more interested in the bad news than the good. Hence news media seemed to almost delight in the shock of Australia 'burning'. In recent days, though, there has been some welcome good news and yet, to a large extent, this is buried away in mid-page columns, if reported at all.
