Critical Theory and the Reformation
Today’s Reformation Day, so we thought we’d do something a bit different. We’re going on an exploration of sorts, looking at this great historical event to see what it can teach us about how we should approach one of the philosophies that most shapes our lives today.

Praising God
Billy Bray was an eccentric preacher of old. He was known for spontaneously breaking out in song and dance (not unlike David, 2 Samuel 6:14). A lot of people didn’t know what to make of him, was he a raving loony or was this genuine joy in the Lord? When people complained of his over-enthusiasm, […]
Should Christians be AV only?
There are often debates in our churches about what Bible translation we should use. In this episode, Michael, Ryan and Josh sit down to discuss if we as believers should be King James-only Christians and if not then why not?! We hope you will find this helpful and encouraging.

The importance of reading and meditating on your Bible every day
I remember a little ditty I learnt as a youngster, to the tune of London’s Burning: Read your Bible, read your Bible read it daily, read it daily. It’s a lamp; it’s a lamp, and a light to your pathway. The words are simple but they are so true. It’s based on Psalm 119:105, which […]
Sennacherib’s downfall and Bible authenticity
Christians uphold that the Bible (Old and New Testaments) is the inspired Word of God, inerrant and accurate.

However, in today’s […]
