In the century and a half since Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species was first published, evolutionary theory has gained widespread acceptance. In fact, it is usually thought of as just another of the certainties of life—like the roundness of the earth or the existence of viruses. “Intelligent†people never dream of questioning it.

“I do not, by nature, thrive on confrontation,” declares Richard Dawkins, the Charles Simonyi Professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University and one of the world’s leading sceptics concerning Christianity and belief in God. Dawkins is well known as an intellectual adversary to all forms of religious belief – and of Christianity […]

The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands. Proverbs 14:1The mainline Protestant denominations (Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian) are discussing homosexuality with a view to transforming their bodies into more tolerant, more diverse, and more inclusive organizations. This, any way, is how the advocates of the ‘gay” agenda present […]

The Word of God opens the eyes of our hearts, not so much to matters that can be apprehended by the right use of man’s reason (though Scripture is supremely reasonable), but to matters that are beyond the grasp of reason […]

This was my first visit to the Salisbury Conference on 7th October which was held at the city’s Emmanuel Church which is pastored by Malcolm Watts. Two hundred people turned up, the largest number so far. It was the tenth conference and thus a kind of milestone. Next year it will be held in July […]

How long will it be before Christianity becomes illegal in Britain? This is no longer the utterly absurd and offensive question that on first blush it would appear to be. An evangelical Christian campaigner, Stephen Green was arrested and charged last weekend with using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour. So what was this […]

Six times in 1 Corinthians 6 Paul writes, “Do you not know …?†He is reminding God’s people of basic, very basic, Christian truths that they are in danger of forgetting. One of these “Do you not knows†states, “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not […]

Genesis 3:20&21 “Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living. The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them†Genesis chapter 3 is a crucially important part of the word of God; it answers the greatest of all questions which is this; […]

The Trust has great pleasure in announcing the forthcoming publication of Frederick S. Leahy’s last book, The Hand of God: The Comfort of Having a Sovereign God.

Many think that Jesus was a “great teacher,” but they don’t know what He taught. Jesus Christ said that He was the Messiah the Jews had awaited for over 700 years. John 4:25–26: ‘The woman said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell […]

On 8th May this year, seventy or so people crowded into a small church hall in north Oxford to attend a local meeting organized by the ‘Christians in Science’ group.
