I have a confession to make. I have never been a fan of Nick Cave and The Bad Seed’s music. Before reading Faith, Hope and Carnage (Text Publishing, 2022) -- which is an edited interview transcript between Cave and O’Hagan -- I was only familiar [...]

I had a very interesting discussion with Papa Gideon Chiu regarding Ephesians 3, especially Ephesians 3:9-11. These are my thoughts on this passage and contextual verses. Ephesians 3 8 To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, [...]

We all have a long way to go in mastering the Bible and doctrine. Most folks have heard of the expression found in my title. Sometimes the term “rose-coloured glasses” is also used. It refers to how some folks prefer to look at everything in [...]

Christmas would be better if we shed the religious baggage, Humanists UK insist. The Guardian newspaper ran a story last week hilariously headlined: “Christmas comes with good cheer. The tragedy is the religious baggage.” Ah, yes, celebrating the birth of Jesus would be so much [...]

Pro-life priest Frank Pavone has been purged by the Papacy for “blaspheming” on the “abortion-is-healthcare” altar of the Church’s left-wing clergy. Pavone was “defrocked” by the Vatican a week ago for allegedly making “blasphemous communications on social media”, insubordination, and having a general unwillingness to [...]

The new and now complete three-volume biography of C. S. Lewis is a must-read. Given that the last of a three-volume biography of Lewis is now available, let me speak to this terrific set. I refer to the just completed trilogy of works by Harry Lee [...]

I sense it is a time of both transition and also overcoming obstacles and enemies. This is a word for this season: three things we need to go forward. 1. Agenda -- Are We in the Lord’s Plans or Our Own? Joshua is confronted by [...]

The aftermath of the overturning of Roe v. Wade has seemingly brought forth a renewed passion for argument among those on both the pro-life and the pro-choice sides of the abortion debate. While those who respect the sanctity of all human lives rejoiced in this [...]

Tremendous advice from the great C.S. Lewis. When one thinks of Christian apologetics, the name of C.S. Lewis instantly springs to mind. He certainly was one of the most important and influential apologists of last century, and his impact is still being fully felt today. [...]

Are Luke’s and Matthew’s genealogies really contradictory? What is the curse of Jeconiah? Does it really undermine Jesus’ claims to fulfil Old Testament prophecy? The answers to these questions may surprise you. As Christians celebrate the coming of Jesus into the world, many in our [...]

This essay seeks to examine the state of play three years on from the launch of the COVID-19 operation, now that it seems to be winding back its central rule over society. I will try to explore outside the box, leaving nothing taboo or tolerated. [...]

Adoption can be a marvellous way to create a family that nurtures a child in need. However, pro-lifers must be careful not to diminish the irreplaceable role of the biological mother, and first offer her support to parent her own child before considering separating the [...]

Is Christmas itself -- along with its rich, familiar traditions -- an emergence from pagan Roman festivals? These are serious claims that must be addressed.

The secular left West is becoming ever more similar to communism. Christianity was one of the main driving forces of the West. For many centuries, they were in many ways synonymous. But as Christianity weakened, so too did the West. Thus what can be called [...]

The events which led up to the birth of Christ were no accident, but God’s way of fulfilling the Old Testament prophecies in Isaiah 7:14 and Isaiah 9:6-7. Every event that transpired, from the ordering of the census, the return of everyone to their own [...]
