My Big Ange Dilemma I am a Gunners supporter. An Arsenal Football Club tragic. From way back. 1980. Living in Australia watching late night replays as a band of white English blokes hoof the ball forward for a nil-all draw on a muddy pitch in the shadows of the standing-only chilly Highbury terraces. Now? It’s […]
Let me tell you about the day I lost my marbles. It was back in Grade Three at Palmyra Primary School and there was a marble craze running. Every recess and lunch time, the playground was filled with the clink of glass on glass and the battle cries of the victors and vanquished as we […]
The Victorian Government has just published its media information pack on conversion therapy. And I’ve gotta say, the YouTube video its has produced takes the biscuit. And it’s taken a leaf out of casting central, by employing Mr Bed Time Story Guy to provide the voice over. As I was watching it I wanted to […]
We’ll get to Stephen Wolfe’s The Case For Christian Nationalism in a moment, but first… It’s an angry political world. And Christians are not immune. Angry Politics I am not immune. You are not immune. It’s angry politics at twenty paces – even among Christians. I’m a conservative so I get angry from the Right. […]
My previous blog post on an affirming church kicked up a lot of dust. But the dust will settle. And as it settles, here’s what clear in its wake: There is zero unity on this issue in so-called evangelical churches and there never will be. And the reason is as I have said – we […]
Jesus As Our Hope In my forthcoming book “Futureproof: How To Live For Jesus In a Culture That’s Constantly Changing“, I deal with the anxieties of our age and how the good news of Jesus leans into those anxieties and provides better answers than what is on offer in our society. In this extended interview […]
The Sexular Age just keeps rolling on. Rolling on like waves on a beach. Tsunami waves. Crashing into a church near you. Let me explain. On a recent interstate trip at a conference I spoke at recently, I was chatting with a woman who attended a church in the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Now, the […]
The news from several sources, including this article at Christianity Today, that there is a push for Christians to cancel Hillsong music on the basis of the moral trainwrecks that have occurred there in recent years is a worry. It’s a bad idea. The admirable Julie Roys, who I count as one of the good […]
“Do you want me to die? Because that’s where I am.” The slow-motion car crash, and subsequent public flogging of one-time breakfast TV darling, Phillip Schofield, is unbearable to watch. Though as in all slow-motion car crashes, many people can’t turn away. “Cultural swivel-headery” we might call it. Or perhaps plain old Schadenfreude. But […]
Perhaps it’s fitting that Tim Keller’s last book was Forgive: How Should I and How Can I?. In an era in which secular thinkers such as historian Tom Holland, and cultural commentator, Douglas Murray, worry about the loss of Christian virtues once taken for granted, this book seems a fitting final rejoinder to where we […]
