Hello

  Hello, this is a blog that I've been intending to create for too long now. So today I finally decided to sit down and do it. I've been compiling notes and thoughts, and have been writing on topics I'm exploring and grappling with for well over a year now - maybe even two. And then I stuff them in a digital folder to gather dust, so to speak. A lot of the discussion and ideas from these notes have come from being active in an Apologetics group on Facebook, which has helped to wrestle out some points and subjects by having about 20+ different opinions thrown into the mix! I'm planning to cover some big topics in small parts over a period of time and post...

The Coming of Jesus: The Olivet Discourse – Part 2

welcome to Part Two of the Olivet Discourse! It’s been a while, so we’ll pick up right where we left off with Matthew 24 verse 15 onwards, after a small recap of the chapter so far. The Olivet Discourse begins with the disciples admiring the architecture of the temple in Jerusalem. Jesus responds to this by telling them that it will all be thrown down and destroyed, to the point that not one stone will be left on another. Later on, when they are sat on the Mount of Olives, Jesus’ disciples come to him and ask “when will this happen?” and “what will be the sign” that all of this is about to commence? If we look at the accou...

Is The Rapture Biblical?

...official welcome of a newly arrived dignitary'…and is very suitable in this context.” writes Dr. Leon Morris in the Tyndale New Testament Commentaries. F.F. Bruce's International Bible Commentary, Vine's Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words and The Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary all note the same theme in their notes about this phrase being used of dignitaries coming on official visits and being met by their loyal subjects. As Wright also notes in his book Jesus And the Victory of God (p.345), “Had Jesus wished to introduce so strange and unJewish an idea to them he would have had a very difficult task.” Modern rapture theorie...

Will UK Councils Criminalise Christianity? The Alarming Precedent Set by a Labour Council

...etreat is welcome, but it is not the real victory. The real victory will come when the Church sees what almost happened and refuses to drift back into quiet complacency. Because if the gospel is worth sharing, it is worth defending. If Christ is Lord, then He is Lord in the streets as well as in our homes and churches. And if persecution comes, even in the bureaucratic form that modern Britain prefers, then we must remember the story we stand in. A story where the Church never grows weaker under pressure, but stronger. What councils may hope will silence the Gospel may, in time, become the very thing that amplifies it.

Did Herod’s Massacre Of The Innocents Historically Happen?

...does not welcome the light easily. In this sense, the massacre of the innocents belongs fully within the Epiphany story. The Magi’s journey exposes the truth about Jesus, and that truth provokes fear in those who cling to power. Herod’s response is brutal, but entirely consistent with his character, and tragically ordinary. A Small Tragedy with Cosmic Weight The modest scale of the massacre does not weaken Matthew’s account, though, it strengthens it. This is not the language of mythic exaggeration or legendary inflation. It is the sort of event that would have unfolded quietly and locally, devastating to those who experienced it, yet almost invisible...
