Finally, a Brave and Biblical Church Leader

Oct 16, 2019

Thank God for one bold and biblical churchman, Glenn Davies:

Today in far too many churches – including supposedly Bible-based evangelical churches – we find this mindset in action: ‘Hey, Jesus was a friend of sinners, and we should be

This Is What God Is Saying To His Church

Sep 24, 2019

This is the sort of thing God would say to his people today.

You may be thinking that my title sounds a bit presumptuous: ‘Bill, you are going to tell us what God’s word is for the 21^st century

A Review of Athanasius of Alexandria: His Life and Impact. By Peter Barnes.

Sep 20, 2019

This new book on the great Athanasius is a must read.

Christian Focus, 2019.

Except for keen theologians and hardcore theology buffs, it is unlikely that many would have heard of the Latin phrase, “Athanasius contra mundum” (Athanasius

Contemporary Christian Music Worth Running With

Sep 8, 2019

I just came upon some inspiring Christian song writers/singers who really seem to put Christ first.

OK, I make no claims to knowing much about contemporary Christian music. In fact, I know almost nothing about it. What I do know

These books on mighty heaven-sent revival are must reads.

All true Christians long for revival, pray for revival, and love to hear or read about revival. Indeed, studying periods of mighty revival in history is always a rewarding endeavor. It

Why do some Bibles differ in terms of the number of books they include?

Just today I had this comment sent in to my website (obviously by a Catholic): “According to the Bible I read, it has 46 books in

This Is Why We Continue To Lose

Aug 6, 2019

What is the main reason that we keep losing in the culture wars?

Why is the world going to hell in a handbasket? There would be many obvious answers that we can give. Satan is alive and well on planet

The Church of Thyatira Is Alive and Well

Jul 26, 2019

In the book of Revelation Jesus had some strong messages to offer seven churches in Asia Minor. While we may tend to think this was something relevant only for these churches two millennia ago, the ongoing relevance for us today

Why is Fornication Wrong?

Jul 25, 2019

That the church in the West is going down the tubes at an alarming rate should be evident from the fact that I even have to pen a piece like this. Of course every Christian knows that fornication is wrong

Fake Churches Arrogantly Defying the Living God

Jul 5, 2019

When it comes to God’s intentions for human sexuality, the biblical material is pretty clear. Yet that has not stopped plenty of apostate religious leaders and fake churches from pushing the world’s anti-God agendas. Sadly, so many of them have

The God of Israel

Jul 1, 2019

“I the Lord do not change.” We find that statement in the Old Testament – in Malachi 3:6. The New Testament affirms the same truth. For example James 1:17 says this: “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming

There Is No ‘Proclamation-Free’ Gospel

Jun 30, 2019

For many decades now in the West we have been told that there is no truth, or at best, truth is simply what you believe it to be. Belief in absolute truth, like in absolute morality, is seen to be

Folau: The Never Ending Story

Jun 26, 2019

Lest people think I might be obsessed with Folau, they need to understand that it is not me who is obsessed, but his many enemies who will just NOT stop their ongoing persecution of him. The folks at GoFundMe thought

We All Have a Role: Giftings and God’s Glory

May 25, 2019

There is no one in the Body of Christ who is dispensable. There are no superfluous Christians. We are all needed. We all have something to offer. We all contribute to the work of the Kingdom. We all bring unique

On Iconoclasm, Part One

Apr 28, 2019

Let me briefly define things here, then offer a few prefatory remarks. Simply put, iconoclasm – in a religious context – literally means “image-breaking”. It has to do with destroying or removing religious images. Related terms include:
-Iconodulism = the

Sacred Space and the Trivialisation of God

Apr 26, 2019

Have you noticed? Most new evangelical churches in the West today are deliberately being made NOT to look like a church. They look just like any other building – and that is being done on purpose. There is nothing about
