If you are an older person raised in the West – as I am – you will have lived through three different periods: Christian, post-Christian, and anti-Christian. We can no longer count on institutions to back us up.

What has happened to Dr Jereth Kok is an appalling example of diabolical cancel culture at its worst. What we have are noisy minority groups wielding incredible power over innocent and conscientious professionals. This is so very wrong on so many levels.

We’ve all heard the rhetorical attacks on Western Civilisation — often centred on Christianity, capitalism, or colonialism, and often on all three. It’s worth examining the data to determine whether they deserve to be so despised.

The cry of the protesters is that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. But if that’s the case, Israel is doing a poor job at genocide. Even under Israeli occupation, the number of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza has increased by around 500%: is that a genocidal policy?

Most of you know the story: God allowed him to go through some really hardcore adversity and suffering, yet Job did not curse God nor give up. He may not have had all the answers, but he had a deep faith in the God he served.
