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.

Future historians will look back and see this incident as an indication of the decline of Western democracy and it's replacement with an authoritarian ideology far removed from the liberal democracy birthed from Christianity.

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'.

Is there a climate change cult?

The reaction to climate change in some quarters has become hysterical to cultish proportions. In fact, I am seriously beginning to fear that a significant number of humans (especially our young) are in danger of being sucked into what could be described as the climate change cult.

The danger is, of course, that God ends up saying what we want Him to say.

What is the truth about the Australian bushfires?
What is the truth about the Australian bushfires?

This surrender to the LGBT lobby will be in vain. It is not enough.

Australia is burning: here are some possible explanations

Just as we should not dismiss the extremist Green view that this is Mother Earth getting her revenge, so we should not dismiss the judgement of God as a factor.

Violence is being normalised in the name of anti-violence
Violence is being normalised in the name of anti-violence

The left wing position, in the West at least, seemed much more pacifist and anti-violence. Today it is groups like Antifa and some elements of Climate Extinction who are offering violence and destruction of property as the solution.

What should we make of Kanye West's conversion?
What should we make of Kanye West's conversion?

Every Christian and their dog apparently has an opinion about Kanye West, and it's been a bit depressing and somewhat amusing to see some of the discussion.
