Atheists tend to be strong supporters of transgenderism and the wider LGBTQ+ movement. For instance, a 2022 study by the Pew Research Centre in America found that the cohort within society who are most supportive of transgenderism are atheists (76%).[1] This is not surprising. In their ongoing opposition to faith generally and Christianity in particular, …

Recently released research by the Barna Group sheds an interesting light on the perceptions of the average person toward Jesus and his followers. The research, involving a survey of just over two thousand U.S. adults and late teens in December 2022, revealed an overwhelmingly positive attitude toward Jesus but a deeply negative attitude toward Christians …

Psalms 2 and 110 are the most prophetically messianic psalms in the Bible, with Psalm 110 regarded as the clearest and most powerful description of God’s Messiah. It is quoted seven times in the New Testament to identify Jesus as the fulfilment of this prophecy by King David. The psalm begins: “The LORD says to …

As our world continues to spiral downward, many Christians cling to the hope of a future ‘rapture’ – a day when Jesus will take his people from the earth before the world deteriorates into complete anarchy.

This morning I read Mark chapter 9, which included the following passage: “42If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and they were thrown into the sea. 43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. …

Yesterday, as part of my morning devotional reading, I read some words of Jesus from Mark’s Gospel: “For it is what comes from within, out of a person’s heart, that evil thoughts come – sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and foolishness. All these evils come from inside and …

This morning I read Psalm 73. It is an important psalm, because it deals with a common false understanding of the relationship between faithfulness and material blessing. It begins with the statement: “Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.” (v.1) This reflects the widely held belief (then and still …

EVOLUTION IN CRISIS (5) – THE ATHEIST AGENDA In this fifth and final edition of Evolution in Crisis, I examine the atheistic agenda that underlies the almost fanatical support of the theory of evolution.
