    Change by exchange.

    I bit into an apple this evening. It was quite hard, but much of it was rotten. I cut it in half. The rot had spread through the apple. There was some that was probably edible, but I had no way of separating good from bad. Some Christians think that they are like that apple. They set about...

    Stealthy persecution

    I was born in England. My parents emigrated in 1965. I ended up in Australia a couple of years later. I have watched with dismay as Britain turned away from its Christian heritage, abandoned Israel, embraced Islam and began persecuting Christians. It's not the "send them to concentration camps"...

    The knowledge of the Truth.

    It's rarely preached, at least in my experience. But there is another aspect of God's will that seems to be overlooked. That is that God wills that all should come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:4) My understanding (and experience) is that it is possible to be saved and yet not...

    Effective Evangelism

    Apart from a click bait title, this video is encouraging. Ray Comfort of Living Waters witnesses to people on the street. Some are saved on the spot, which is wonderful. It includes some testimony from Butch Wilmore, who spent over 9 months on the ISS.

    Health scare

    Last Thursday, I ended up in hospital with a suspected heart attack. I had a bunch of tests and an angiogram. No fun at all. I was out a few days later. Before I went, I had the opportunity to share the gospel with a woman in her 60's. She was open to listen and she has believing family members...

    .The Lord's Prayer

    I want to focus on one aspect of the so-called "Lord's Prayer". Why did Jesus instruct us to pray "Your Kingdom come, your will be done..."? Surely God's kingdom will come and God's will is going to be done anyway? If we fail to understand why Lord Jesus commanded this, we will miss a vital...

    Cleansing the Soul

    I once rented an older house. One day, I discovered that the tap water was rusty and undrinkable. The owner was good and replaced the old, steel pipework. The water was clean again. Our soul is can be seen as a "pipe" or conduit from the spirit to the soul. It is not a perfect example as there...

    Obstacles to walking in the Spirit

    "For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want." Galatians 5:17 Often it seems that the flesh is far more powerful than the Spirit. This is a lie, of course. So why do so...

    Walking in the Spirit

    Much is made of obedience and following God's commandments. The problem is not so much what to do as how. For example, there is conjecture as to what it means to obey the commandments. It seems to me that it is clear that there are many more commandments than the 10 given to Moses. Many of the...

    Replacement Theology

    There is a point of view that the church has replaced Israel as God's covenant people. This is not Biblical. Romans chapters 9-11 go into some detail on this subject. Paul's conclusion is (11:25 & 26) "I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be...

    OSAS, a pointless discussion

    As I've pointed out before, the argument over OSAS or not is based on a false understanding of salvation. I'll repeat myself because obviously quite a few still don't get it. There are two salvations, not one. The word salvation has become Christian code for going to heaven when you die. As Eli...

    Antisemitism

    I'm English by birth. I have watched the decline of once Great Britain from Australia. I believe this is due to two things. The first is the spiritual condition of the nation. It's not been a Christian nation for decades. The second is the betrayal of Israel by the British, even before Israel...

    "Palestine"

    At the risk of repeating myself, there is no such thing as Palestine. It's a construct by Arabs who left Israel during the war of independence. Some were forced out as they were considered a threat by Israel's military. Since there is no Palestine, there are no Palestinians. Because they...

    Abundant Life

    I could not sleep last night so I created this video. I have a new set up that I wanted to test. The sound level is low which was not obvious when I was recording. I hope you get something out of it anyway. It needs an edit, but I'm an absolute beginner.

    Realistic solution for Palestine conflict.

    I saw an interview with Mike Huckabee last night. America is proposing a different solution to the problem. The problem is entirely of "Palestian" making. There is not such thing as Palestinian. Palestine was the name imposed on Israel by Rome after the nation was effectively destroyed. It's an...

    Most corrupt of all

    This is the first time I've seen this youtuber. I've known that the UN is corrupt for a long time. But this presentation was an eye opener as to just how bad it is.

    Faith and works?

    James tells us that faith without works is dead. Jesus did not save us so that we could live as if nothing happened after we were saved. Works do not save us, but they are the outward expression of an inward event. Those who have read some of my previous posts know that I do not see slavish...

    Knowing God's word

    A number of assemblies have quit preaching God's word. Does it matter? Yes, and that is why Satan tries to discourage us from studying God's word. It's not handbook for living, but it is food for the born again spirit. It also brings conviction on sinners when preached correctly. Recently, I...

    Artificial Intelligence.

    AI is touted as a great help to humanity. However, some, including Elon Musk, warn of great dangers. From a Christian perspective, what could be wrong with AI? Surely it can be beneficial if done right? I see a number of problems with depending on A AI. 1. Job replacement. AI is already taking...
