Is there really a big problem with what Tommy Robinson says?

On the 13th September, a number of professing Christians, identifying as “Patriot Pastors” joined the Unite the Kingdom rally organised by Tommy Robinson with some participating from the platform.  When other Christians have raised concerns about this, we received a lot of push back. Initially we told that these people were simply joining the rally… Continue reading Is there really a big problem with what Tommy Robinson says?

Christian Nationalism the Vlogs

I’ve done some #WalkAndTalk Faithroots Podcasts continuing to respond to both the Unite The Kingdom rally and Christian involvement under the banner of Christian Nationalism TL:DR (or watch), Christian Nationalism is an attempt to stick the label “Christian” onto a false god and a false gospel. It relies on a misunderstanding of the Bible, history… Continue reading Christian Nationalism the Vlogs

sharing life, sharing Jesus

Over the summer, our church ran a series on Evangelism called “Sharing life, sharing Jesus”. Partly because we could not cover everything we would have liked to in this short series and partly because I thought the materials might be useful to others, here is a set of video talks going over some of the… Continue reading sharing life, sharing Jesus

Would Tommy Robinson be welcome in your church?

This is the question that Aaron Edwards asks in his latest Substack post. My answer is easy.  “Yes Tommy Robinson would be welcome in our church.” So too would all those who have gone in his marches, those who have spoken up in support and those who participated. I include those who are clearly fully… Continue reading Would Tommy Robinson be welcome in your church?

Reaching the right? What we are missing and a better way

One of the things that has concerned me this past few weeks is the confusion about how we reach people with the Gospel whose political views are labelled “right wing” or more precisely “far right”.  There seems to be a take that you have got to go along with the political views expressed. I think… Continue reading Reaching the right? What we are missing and a better way

We saw every type of doctor we could imagine…Then we discovered a generational curse.

In the Joint Federal Vision Profession (2007), the signatories wrote: We affirm that God formally unites a person to Christ and to His covenant people through baptism into the triune Name, and that this baptism obligates such a one to lifelong covenant loyalty to the triune God, each baptized person repenting of his sins and trusting in Christ… Continue reading The Federal Vision and paedobaptism

What is the Federal Vision all about?

I thought it would be helpful to talk a bit more about Federal Vision as a thought/movement. This will help to explain the concerns that I and others have about its potential ongoing influence.   It’s worth noting that there are numerous people that have been identified under the label.   This can make it a little… Continue reading What is the Federal Vision all about?

Overcoming the strong man enacted

Consider this.  In Luke 11, Jesus uses the analogy of a strong man, sitting on his wealth and enjoying the security of his stronghold.  The stronger conqueror will attack and dismantle the defences before dividing up the spoils. When Jesus arrives as conquering king, the stronger rescuer in Jerusalem, it is neither against Herod or… Continue reading Overcoming the strong man enacted
