Why the great silence from our politicians over Iran?
This article first appeared on the Christian Today Website I don’t think I have ever met an Iranian who was not highly intelligent, good looking and sophisticated. That’s probably because most of the Iranians I meet are students. Be that as it may, Iran is a fascinating culture dating back to the days of the Persian Empire and right up to the modern Islamic Republic. … Continue reading Why the great silence from our politicians over Iran?
10 ‘prophecies’ for the Church in 2018
This article first appeared on Christian Today If it is hard to make predictions about what the year ahead holds for society, it is doubly difficult to predict what will happen to the Church.

Luther and Mrs Luther! Friday was an intense day – six full talks – I don’t know how people lasted the pace!Two were outstanding – of which more later – but first of all we kicked off with yours truly speaking on evangelising atheists and neo-pagans.

In fact it was with that in mind that I went with Mrs R on our usual Friday night jaunt to the DCA to watch it. If I was writing this as a mere film review then I honestly couldn’t say much. I wasn’t as impressed as I … Continue reading Victoria and Abdul – Re-Writing History to indoctrinate Todays Society
