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
Are nations God’s chosen vehicle for doing his will?
One of the arguments for Christian Nationalism is that God particularly cares about nations, that prior to Christ coming, we see his concern for the nations as entities and that we still see that after Christ’s coming. So, two crucial texts are Deuteronomy 32:8-9 and Acts 17:26. In the first, Moses says: “When the Most… Continue reading Are nations God’s chosen vehicle for doing his will?
Who is my neighbour? Getting on the wrong side of Jesus and history
One of today’s favourite accusations and insults is that you are on the wrong side of history. I would suggest that far worse than being on the wrong side of history is to be on the wrong side of Jesus. Indeed, because Jesus is the one who defines history, came in the middle of history… Continue reading Who is my neighbour? Getting on the wrong side of Jesus and history
“I will heal their land”: 2 Chronicles 7:14, covenants and Christian Nationalism
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?
Dividing lines: A poignant reminder about why I keep talking about Christian Nationism
Do you ever want to ask me why I keep talking about Christian Nationalism? It’s a question I keep asking myself at times. Well, this post shared by Christopher Wickland provides a strong reminder about why we need to keep talking about this. I respond in detail in this video which I’d encourage you to… Continue reading Dividing lines: A poignant reminder about why I keep talking about Christian Nationism
Preachers: Don’t make things that are about Jesus about yourself
Have a listen to this sermon. It was delivered by Bishop Cei Dewar at Christopher Wickland’s church. These are two key men in the current Christian Nationalism movement. Both spoke on the platform at the Unite the Kingdom rally. I was therefore interested in the talk partly because of that but also partly because we… Continue reading Preachers: Don’t make things that are about Jesus about yourself
Why attempts to ban Islam are self defeating
I’ve seen a number of suggestions that countries like the UK should respond to the perceived threat of Islamisation with force. Not, of course physical force but a muscular legal, cultural and political response. I tend to disagree with these suggestions because as a Christian, I’ve got different priorities. My concern is to see God’s… Continue reading Why attempts to ban Islam are self defeating
