Sitting on the political fence…..

September 29, 2004

Well there you have it….. In a move that will no doubt annoy my right-wing and left-wing christian friends in equal measure I did it- I took the test and intriguingly I came out slap bang in the middle ecconomically and slightly towards the authoritarian side socially.

Am I the only person that thinks a USA terror attack is unlikely before November?

September 25, 2004

Repent and Believe

September 21, 2004

Parableman explains the close association between these two concepts. They really are the foundation of the Christian gospel. To me, to repent is to change your mind and your direction in order to think different things about God, and trust him alone for your salvation. It involves changing the very core of your being in [...]

Not since Oliver Cromwell…

September 16, 2004

It seems we have forgotten that there is such a thing as a suicidal terrorist. We have had people climbing all over Buckingham Palace, Tower bridge and now invading our parliament. I suspect that in most countries (no doubt including the USA) all these ‘lovable eccentric’ English protestors would have quite simply been shot- despite [...]
