Many of the folks pushing things like transhumanism, AI, posthumanism and so on have often made clear the religious nature of their endeavours. They see all this as a new religion offering full and final salvation -- but of a radically different sort than traditional [...]

One day, believers will be assessed on what they did. Something Christians do not speak much about is the idea of receiving rewards one day for their faithful service. It might be a mark of humility perhaps not to think about that too much. After [...]

Forgetting and forsaking God has serious repercussions. Western history is in large part the story of God and His people at work. Yet most Westerners today deliberately seek to shove God, Jesus, Scripture and Christianity out of their minds and lives. The West is doing [...]

Few poets have explored the weight and wonder of fatherhood like Andrew Lansdown. Over the years, Andrew has established a high reputation for his subtle, insightful poems about his wife and children. I have known Andrew Lansdown for over two decades. As a songwriter [...]

Anyone who has read the account of Lewis’ conversion in Surprised By Joy will know that the penultimate chapter is titled “Checkmate”. There he discusses some of the final steps that led him to abandon his atheism and move through from theism to Christianity. If, by some [...]

Some great quotes from a classic Tozer volume. One of the earlier books of A. W. Tozer and one that helped to put him on the map spiritually speaking was his 1948 classic, The Pursuit of God. It is well worth reading and reading again. [...]

There is plenty of incisive commentary in the new volume by Watkin. The new book by a Monash University philosophy professor and Christian thinker is receiving a lot of interest, attention and discussion. Biblical Critical Theory: How the Bible’s Unfolding Story Makes Sense of Modern [...]

There is so much great material in this classic volume. One cannot get enough of A.W. Tozer. Although he passed away 60 years ago, he is still loved and read by millions of believers worldwide. And more and more material of his keeps being produced. [...]

What you must read on AI, transhumanism, and the new digital technologies. Whether we like it or not, and whether we know it or not, the new technologies are shaping our lives massively. We live by and for our smartphones, social media, information technology, and [...]

We can learn so much from Jonathan Edwards about revival. Given how much talk there is about revival at the moment, and how much interest is being shown to the various campus awakenings in the United States, and all the discussions and debates about them, [...]

Some thoughts on what is occurring at Asbury University. What is happening right now at Asbury University in Kentucky is of course still ongoing -- now having lasted over a week. So it is hard to say anything definitive about this event. Like most believers, [...]

This is the supreme part of the Christian life. I continue offering some fantastic quotes from the book Whatever Happened to Worship? edited and compiled by Gerald B. Smith (Moody, 1985, 2012). With so many inspiring and moving quotations to be found in the book, [...]

These are some of the most important things we can ever dwell upon. The other day I shared this quote from R. C. Sproul: “The point of the exodus was not simply to redeem people from oppression, but to redeem them to something: from slavery [...]

This brief volume by R. C. Sproul is a little gem of a book, reflecting on the purpose of humanity in the light of our glorious God. The noted American theologian and pastor R. C. Sproul passed away late in December 2017 (aged 78). I [...]

What we need to withstand those who would destroy our culture in futile attempts to remake civilisation according to their impossible ideals. The influential English historian Paul Johnson died earlier this week. His passing did not seem to result in all that much media coverage, [...]
