The Bible Uncancelled

Kamala Harris loves to talk about what can be — “unburdened by what has been.” This explains the way that progressives often think about progress - anything new is seen as good.

Nations have come under threat from several different quarters recently: the globalists want to abolish national borders; the woke hate the West and everything it stands for. But there are many Christians who perhaps inadvertantly undermine the importance of nations as well. In this podcast we look at the importance of nations in the Bible and think about how that might affect how we live. Sacred...

Why is it that formerly Christian civilisations have turned away so rapidly and catastrophically from their values? In this podcast, we look at the insights of the 17th century pastor and theologian John Owen. In his book, “The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded”, he explains why atheists in a Christian civilisation are worse than “heathens” or those of other religions. Sacred Musings is a...
