Sat safely in the UK, we tend to assume that things happening Stateside don’t matter much to us. This indeed has been the view I’ve heard whenever I’ve raised subjects such as Christian Nationalism and Federal Vision. We are reassured that such issues are of little interest and have little impact this side of the… Continue reading Here come the Groypers

Christian Nationalism and prophecy
One of the things I’ve observed is that some of the key people and churches in the Christian Nationalist Movement tend to lean heavily on prophetic words and this feeds into the approach to preaching. Here is an example from Chrisopher Wickland. In fact, this was the first part on the subject I’ve just looked… Continue reading Christian Nationalism and prophecy
The truth about the economy and immigration – a response to Christopher Wickland’s “prophecy”
Have a watch of this “sermon” from Christopher Wickland. There are a number of things that we would want to pick up on in it. However, I want to pick up specifically on one particular claim. In the talk, Wickland claims to have seen, through prophetic visions, an economic crisis, in fact, he claims to… Continue reading The truth about the economy and immigration – a response to Christopher Wickland’s “prophecy”
Seek the welfare of the city: Why Jeremiah 29:7 is not a Christian Nationalist text
I’m currently working through some of the Biblical texts and examples I’ve heard cited in support of Christian Nationalism. Some of these examples are found in articles, books and YouTube talks, others come up in discussion. One example that I’ve heard alluded to is that of what God’s people did in exile, particularly the example… Continue reading Seek the welfare of the city: Why Jeremiah 29:7 is not a Christian Nationalist text

14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. These words from 2 Chronicles 7:14 are perhaps amongst the most well known, most quoted and perhaps most misunderstood and misused… Continue reading “I will heal their land”: 2 Chronicles 7:14, covenants and Christian Nationalism

Kiss the Son: Does Psalm 2 lead to Christian Nationalism?
Psalm 2:12 says “Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.” I’ve seen it suggested that Christian Nationalism is based on this text, along with a couple of other key texts including the instruction… Continue reading Kiss the Son: Does Psalm 2 lead to Christian Nationalism?
