What the Bible Really Says About Sex and Sexuality

“The Truth of God and the Lie of Lust”  Last Sunday morning I preached a sermon that in one sense I did not want to preach, and in another was desperate to preach.   I did not want to preach on Romans 1:24-27 because of the sensitivity of the subject for many people present, because of the potential implications from out with the church and … Continue reading What the Bible Really Says About Sex and Sexuality

Call Kaye – But Don’t Challenge the Status Quo

The wonderful Spiked online have some of the most insightful and stimulating journalism you will find. Not for them the bland shibboleths of contemporary culture. Although not Christian I sometimes think they have more of a prophetic voice than the pathetic whimpers that so often come from Establishment Christianity. Their article on the horrific Orlando mass murder was superb. http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/the-orlando-massacre-and-the-crisis-of-humanism/18452#.V2FEL-YrL_R It talks about how in … Continue reading Call Kaye – But Don’t Challenge the Status Quo

Education, Human Rights and the National Secular Society – Letter in The Scotsman – 27th June 2015

The Scotsman published this edited version of my letter today: Perhaps you will allow me to answer the rather strange accusations of Alistair McBay of the National Secular Society (Letters, 26 June) that I campaign to restrict the human rights of women and LGBTI people and for religious apartheid in education. These accusations are simply false – I challenge Mr McBay to demonstrate one right … Continue reading Education, Human Rights and the National Secular Society – Letter in The Scotsman – 27th June 2015

How to be a Progressive, Affirming, Accepting, Welcoming… and BIBLICAL church

My church, St Peter’s Free Church in Dundee, is a progressive, affirming, accepting, welcoming, biblical church. We even have a rainbow as one of our symbols! In today’s Christian jargon that is to some people a sign that we are backslidden degenerates and to others that we are just exactly the kind of modern contemporary church that today’s culture needs. It’s at that point the … Continue reading How to be a Progressive, Affirming, Accepting, Welcoming… and BIBLICAL church

Post Assembly Blues – is the C of S Apostate? – Quantum of Solas 31

Having your Cake and Eating It – A response to Stephen J. Graham’s polemic on the Ashers Case

I want to add an explanation here for the following article.  I don’t normally respond to personal articles or comments attacking me – but this one was different.  Last week was an intense and tough week and it was not helped by being asked to write (at midnight) a comment on the Ashers case, which I had been following.  I did so and was then attacked. … Continue reading Having your Cake and Eating It – A response to Stephen J.
