Last night ~ wee hours here in Scotland ~ I couldn’t sleep, stirring to watch Cross Examined. I listened to a powerful Q&A from Western Carolina University honouring Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, who was taken from us too soon. The talk, If God, Why Evil? led by...
Our church’s nursery, E.P.I.C. (Encouraging Parents In Christ), opened in January in Rutherglen, Glasgow, and is flourishing! With dedicated staff, excellent facilities, and joyful children and parents, it’s a cherished community hub grounded in traditional Christian values. However, funding challenges threaten its future. E.P.I.C. invested heavily to meet Care Inspector...
A Heavy Heart for Suwayda’s Loss Peter here, I haven’t published much after being at the Keswick Convention, but I heard and my heart is broken as we carry for Pastor Khaled Mazhar and his family, murdered in Suwayda, Syria, last week on July 16, 2025. This brave man, who...

A “Hinky” Feeling About Human Plans As born-again Christians, we trust in God’s sovereignty over His creation (Psalm 24:1, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it”). Yet, recent news about solar geoengineering, experiments to dim the sun to fight climate change, stirs an unease in me. From the...
When Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh, Hampshire, abandoned its Easter celebrations, bonnet parade, service, and the whole pastel package in the name of “diversity,” the backlash was immediate. Parents labelled it as “disgraceful.” Online discussions on YouTube erupted over tradition being undermined. But I have a different perspective: if all...
