I thought it would be helpful following the recent announcement of TGC UK (The Gospel Coalition) to say a little bit more about what Evsngelical Unity is and isn’t. I’m not intending to comment specifically about TGC, my concerns were well documented when it was first set up as has been my more recent response… Continue reading Evangelical unity … What it is and what it isn’t

Driving home for Christmas … Make sure you know the way
This Christmas our theme for all of our Christmas outreach events has been Home For Christmas. Unsurprisingly our theme tune has been Chris Rea’s driving home for Christmas.

From time to time, people get a little bit twitchy about different things that are seen as end time signs. In particularly, the so called “Mark of the Beast” has caused much eschatological angst over the years as people have tried to work out what it is. Different things have been suggested from bar codes… Continue reading Digital ID and the mark of the beast
