In the joint Federal Vision Profession (2007), the authors and signatories state: “We affirm that Jesus Christ is the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. We believe that the Church cannot be a faithful witness to His authority without calling all nations to submit themselves to Him through baptism, accepting their responsibility to obediently learn all… Continue reading Federal Vision and the next Christendom

A Christian nation?
This is the final part of my engagement with Aaron Edwards’ articles about what he sees as the threat of Islamisation here in Britain. Last time I noted that it’s not really Islam that he has in his sights but rather it was multicultural/secular Britain today. He sees our current culture as weak in the… Continue reading A Christian nation?

Christian nationalism? Desirable? Likely?
There has been much controversy, more State side than UK side, recently over the growth of something referred to as “Christian Nationalism.” Now, the variants of this we have seen have at times tended to give the impression that the focus is more on “nationalism” than the Christian bit.

Increasingly I’m hearing talk about Christian… Continue reading The evil heresy of “Christian nationalism”
A Christian country and a covenant with God?
I wanted to pick up on a comment made on Twitter by Matthew Mason who is a tutor in Christian ethics at London Seminary and honorary “Theologian at Large” for Evangelicals Now. Matthew wrote, reflecting on the Queen’s Jubilee weekend: This provoked some sharp responses including: And Now, I’m not convinced that it is fair… Continue reading A Christian country and a covenant with God?
