Lessons for today from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World
CS Lewis, Francis Schaeffer and Os Guinness are some of the Christian prophets who saw where we were going and accurately predicted the state we have now found ourselves in. But there is another secular 'prophet' who in my view was astonishingly prescient and that is Aldous Huxley.
How should we worship now?
Does it matter how we worship â as long as we enjoy it, and it suits us?
An open letter to Jordan Peterson
Like King Agrippa, you are "almost persuaded" (Acts 26:28), and so I hope that you will soon be fully persuaded.
How claims of 'hurt' and 'harm' are being used to limit our freedom
Surely we are all against harm and want to listen to the victims? Surely people should not be free to harm other people? But if we take a deeper look and think about this for a moment, the problems become obvious.
If conversion therapy is banned, it is the Bible that will be silenced
Western countries are lining up to ban conversion therapy but the truth is that most politicians are largely ignorant of what conversion therapy actually is.
Harry, Meghan and Oprah: An interview fit for a kingless society
This interview in so many ways reflects the shallowness and confusion of the celebrity culture which our society is dominated by.
Salmond vs Sturgeon â an ugly showdown and a lesson to the rest of the world
Scotland is in danger of becoming a laughing stock, and even more seriously, developing into some kind of 'progressive' authoritarian State which will serve as a warning to the rest of the world â this is what happens when you move away from your Christian roots.
Do we need to change the Gospel to speak to today's world?
It depends on how we view guilt and shame in the Bible, writes David Robertson.
Facebook's monopoly power is good news for cancel culture and bad news for intellectual freedom
Facebook tried to ban news in Australia and in the end simply enabled fake news while banning the real news.
Has the Western Church forgotten God?
In the Western Church today there is a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. Maybe it's time for us to remember, repent and be restored?
Jesus is the vaccine
The vaccine will provide a welcome reprieve for many. But it won't give a single person eternal life. The Gospel promises not only new life now but an eternal life
A woke coup in Scotland - and a warning to the rest of the world
Myanmar isn't the only place where a coup is taking place. There's one happening here in Scotland - a coup by the woke that makes it a very dangerous time for those who do not buy into their agenda, especially those in the Church.
Enough of presidents who speak the language of Christianity while leaving out Christ
American civic religion is Christless religion â Christ is only invoked as 'your own personal Jesus', someone who shares the values of whoever is in power.
4 tried and tested ways to slow down and reflect
Perhaps it is only when a virus slows the world down that we are able to come off the merry-go-round and take time to reflect?
The greatest threat to American democracy is not Trump
The reaction to the storming of the Capitol is a far greater threat to democracy than the event itself. And that is something that should greatly concern the Church, because we will inevitably be caught up in the backlash.
My predictions - not prophesies - for 2021
Aware that prophesy is a particular gift which gives a direct word from God, I will refrain from making any prophecies about this coming year. But Jesus says we should know the times and be like the men of Issachar who understood the times and knew what to do. So perhaps in that spirit, may I now suggest where I think the trajectory we are on is heading.
