Surprising Rebirth
The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God – a review of Justin Brierley’s remarkable new podcast series.
I have been encouraged and even energised by Brierley’s work. He has equipped us with fresh evidence of the Christian faith, with a vigorous recasting of old evidence, and a renewed confidence in the intellectual and logical rigour of Christianity. He has given us a fund of podcasts to share with others on their journey.... Continue Reading
The Inspiring Contagiousness of Submission
If God sanctifies us, we will be most influential to others when we are most afflicted.
Will you ask God for grace to be a contagious Christian of sacrificial submission, like Jephthah’s daughter and David Livingstone? You may say, “This all seems so impossible for me. You have set the bar far too high.” The bar is high, for two good reasons. First, too many of us today who profess Christ... Continue Reading
Elon Musk Would Be Making a Disastrous Mistake to Allow Pornography on X
Turning X from the digital public square into a squalid pornography site would be a stunning collapse — and prove Musk’s critics right.
Some users have noted that pornography is already showing up more often on X, and that this new policy could open the floodgates. Musk has already responded to the backlash. When one user asked if there was an available function that could allow people to use X without being exposed to pornography, Musk personally replied,... Continue Reading
Selina Hastings – the Means of Doing Much Good
Mrs. Cook’s account of Selina Hastings is an example of historical Christian biography at its very best.
Selina also heard of a soldier’s wife who had just given birth to twins and was not expected to live. The countess responded quickly by helping the young woman as much as she was able—physically, materially and spiritually. The dying mother wept as she began to understand her sinful state before God and begged Selina... Continue Reading
Decisive Moments: How a Horse Saved Orthodoxy
God worked to preserve the truth of who Christ is.
The sister of Theodosius, Pulcheria, was next in line to the throne. She was a supporter of the orthodox view of Christ’s two natures, and not only her, but also her husband Marcian. Her husband became the new emperor and he fairly quickly convened another ecumenical council to settle the issue of Eutychianism and other... Continue Reading

From Softness to Strength
Christian manliness in the words of Cyril of Alexandria.
Cyril makes a clear distinction between earnest manliness and immaturity. He emphasizes that only those who have reached spiritual maturity and the measure of the age of the fullness of Christ are counted as truly manly. This maturity involves surpassing the mind of youth and embodying the virtues of wisdom, strength, and courage. The divine... Continue Reading
Prince of Poets?
The lost lyrics of Charles Spurgeon.
A mark of Spurgeon’s preaching was his meditation on God’s word. Like the Puritans before him, Spurgeon turned the diamond of Scripture again and again to reflect the brilliance of its many facets. But his meditation on Scripture wasn’t only a public performance. It was the fruit of his private meditation on Scripture. We see... Continue Reading
