When you are confused or hurt by those you trust, remember this: in Him there is no darkness or shadow; no fickleness or change (1 John 1:5; James 1:17). When other helpers fail and other comforts flee, He has made His home with you forever (John 14:23). ~ Daniel Hames, The New Life, p. 33Continue reading “The Heroic Heart of Jesus”

Is Christianity Practical?
This is by far the best run-on sentence I have read in a long time. Enjoy! The tendency of the present day is to lay stress on what is regarded as “practical;” that is, what is thought to exert an immediate and powerful influence on man’s character and conduct. The doctrine of Scriptures, the revelationContinue reading “Is Christianity Practical?”
Protestia and Redeemed Zoomer – a Caution
I’ve had a few back and forths with Protestia. Largely I try and avoid the account, even though it does some good research and puts out some solid posts. However, it seems a good time to caution you about much of the work they do. On December 29, 2025, Protestia uploaded a video, with theContinue reading “Protestia and Redeemed Zoomer – a Caution”
James White on Joel Webbon and The Descent of Christian Nationalism into the World of Candace Owens
DISCLAIMER: The Christian Nationalism movement, in all of it’s personalities and sects, is not the same as being for the bare-bones concept Christian Nationalism. We don’t want globalism, we want nationalism. And we want our nations to be filled with Christians through the work of the Spirit, and for those nations to be as biblicalContinue reading “James White on Joel Webbon and The Descent of Christian Nationalism into the World of Candace Owens”
Walk, Ephesians 4:1-16, Sermon by Peter Mead – Transcript

Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 24
The incarnation is an invitation, an invitation to know the Father, in the Son – a truly good God whose eternal communion is now offered to us in the Son, by the Spirit. At the centre of the universe there is a glory-giving, loving relationship, and in the incarnation we are invited to join in![1]Continue reading “Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 24”
Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 16
Zechariah is convinced that God is a God who makes promises, and keeps them. Well of course – he lived in Bible times, they all thought that way, didn’t they? Hang on a second. Zechariah was toward the end of a long life during which he had seen nothing happening from heaven. No angels, noContinue reading “Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 16”
Let’s Chat: Pleased to Dwell 13
For Luke, these two great moments in history – the birth of Christ, then His death and resurrection – are too important to let slip into the category of myth or legend.[1] You can see all posts in this series by clicking on this line.
