Jesus’ prophecy of the destruction of the Temple is one of the significant events from the last week of his earthly life and finds its way into all the Synoptic Gospels.[1] In fact, some have seen that as a crucial part of our ability to date the writing of the New Testament.[2] If these events… Continue reading The time will come

Is it an answer to prayer that Donald Trump says he will sue the BBC?
A few people have responded to Donald Trump’s announcement that he will sue the BBC for up to £5 billion as a wonderful answer to prayer. I want to suggest that it isn’t and here is why. First of all, let me emphasise that I have consistently argued that the BBC is in the wrong,… Continue reading Is it an answer to prayer that Donald Trump says he will sue the BBC?
Was it really not worth it?
It is desperately sad to hear a 100 year old say he does not think that World War 2 was worth it. It’s important to think carefully about our responses. He should be listened to and not just ignored for his age. We have an unhealthy tendency to write off the elderly in our society.… Continue reading Was it really not worth it?
Is Tommy Robinson the archetypical prodigal?
In this video we continue to look at current events through the lens of Luke 15.
Would Charlie Kirk get summoned for “the talk” in your church?
Aaron Edwards argues here that whilst many Evangelical leaders that lauded Charlie Kirk after his death, they would have seen him as a problem in their own churches and he would have been called in for a talk with the pastor. I write as a church elder who has both written in appreciation of Charlie… Continue reading Would Charlie Kirk get summoned for “the talk” in your church?
Can we still have Gospel partnership with Anglican churches (and what we actually mean by this)
I don’t think I can be much clearer than I have been in terms of my views about what Evangelicals in the Church of England should do, indeed, should have done a long time ago. It should be obvious to most now, that it is impossible to be an evangelical or a complementarian and remain… Continue reading Can we still have Gospel partnership with Anglican churches (and what we actually mean by this)

My friend, Steve Kneale, has written here about what his church in Oldham need. In short, Oldham Bethel have seen a lot of Gospel engagement and significant fruit in recent years. I suspect that if it fitted the right image, what is happening there would be described by some people as revival. I’m.not going to… Continue reading A shout out for Oldham Bethel
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
