Islam, the West, and Geert Wilders

Nov 24, 2016

A devout Muslim does not believe in democracy. Neither does he believe in the rule of law, freedom, pluralism, religious liberty, freedom of conscience, the equality of women, the equality of non-Muslims, and so on. For these reasons alone we

Evangelical Supporters of Sexual Assault

Oct 13, 2016

Yes that title is right. So much of the church of Jesus Christ today is so far down in the gutter that we actually have those who claim to be disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ seeking to excuse and

Is Trump a Christian?

Oct 12, 2016

Without wishing to start yet another world war (and if folks want to go on yet another attack, please stay away thanks – I have had enough!), some have asked me what I think about the rumours that have been

On Writing Commentaries (and Problems Thereof)

Aug 18, 2016

OK, admittedly this piece will be of interest to just a handful of people. But that’s OK, there are a few of us theology buffs and commentary lovers out there. And it is not a piece I can really comment

When Ordinary People Become Extraordinary Warriors

Aug 4, 2016

In the very dark and demonic times we now live in, being an ordinary person, an ordinary citizen, and an ordinary Christian, no longer cuts it. We now must be extraordinary for Christ and the Kingdom. We must dare to

Cruz Again Proves Why He is an American Hero – and Trump is Not

Jul 21, 2016

It was pretty ugly to behold. Hateful Trump supporters booing the best conservative Christian candidate going, and screaming at his wife Heidi as she sought to leave the convention. This half hour episode tells us everything we need to know

Sonia Kruger: Crucified for Speaking Some Truth About Islam

Jul 18, 2016

It is getting to be rather dangerous to try to speak your mind in today’s PC-heavy climate. It can cost you everything. It will certainly cost you your head if you live in a Muslim-majority country, and increasingly it can

In Defence of C. S. Lewis

Jun 12, 2016

This sounds very odd indeed: defend one of the greatest Christian thinkers, authors, scholars and apologists of the past century? Why in the world would I seek to defend someone who has blessed millions, helped millions, and strengthened the faith

Dismantling the Trump Myths, Part One

Mar 31, 2016

The cult of Trump has dished up more nonsense, falsehoods and flip-flops than I have seen from any recent presidential candidate. Despite the fact that Trump is a life-long progressive, and one who has supported and financed leftist and Democrat

Dismantling the Trump Myths, Part Two

Mar 31, 2016

Part One of this article looked at various issues of concern to conservatives. It should be clear from all that, that Trump is no conservative. But there is so much more foolishness being pushed by the Trumpites about his money,

Dismantling the Cruz Myths

Mar 30, 2016

Those who hate Ted Cruz, and those who love Donald Trump – usually one and the same person – have peddled so many porkies, falsehoods, and just plain moronic nonsense about Cruz that it seems now is the time to

Chesterton and the Family

Mar 27, 2016

I have often said that G. K. Chesterton is perhaps my favourite Christian author. For those who may know nothing about him, I suggest you become acquainted with him, otherwise you really are missing out big time. See here for

Time for a New Conservative Party?

Mar 26, 2016

Throughout much of the Western world we are seeing all things political shifting leftwards, so that one-time conservative political parties are now usually simply middle-of-the-road parties, while leftist parties have become hard-core leftist parties.

If we simply look at America

Some Home Truths on America, Trump and the White House

Mar 4, 2016

Hey, it’s a free country, so I can say what I like! While some will go ballistic over this, that is fine – they can set up their own website and write whatever they want. But here are some random

We Need Another Resistance Movement: Remembering the Scholls

Feb 23, 2016

As the West grows increasingly darker, more ungodly, indeed more anti-God, more immoral, more culturally bankrupt, and more hostile to what so many of us believe in and value, we need to ask the question again: how are we to

The Only Hope for the West

Feb 18, 2016

Leaders come and go and nations come and go. God can use both for his purposes. Think of a Moses, or the judges (as in the book of Judges), or Esther, or even a pagan king like Cyrus of Persia

Antonin Scalia, RIP

Feb 14, 2016

US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia passed away yesterday at age 79. The conservative and intellectual heavyweight was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986 and served faithfully there for 29 years. He was the first Italian-American justice to serve
