Northern Ireland, abortion and Brexit: the three words Christians need to remember

Four decades introducing people to Jesus
Although I look back I'm still looking forward. My journey is not yet over and may God let it continue as long as it serves him.
It is not anti-Semitic to oppose a Holocaust memorial
I cannot discern widespread support within the Jewish community for this obtrusive construction. Instead, what I do find is very real concern about burgeoning anti-Semitism and at the same time a fear that our leaders will resort to nothing more than empty gestures that do little to make things better.
UK general election? If so, here's what the polls are telling us
Polls on voting intentions go back as far as the 1930s, but it is safe to say that such a car crash in support for both major parties has never been seen before. So we are in uncharted territory.
