King David: As shrewd as a serpent?

Last updated on: December 31, 2017 at 9:47 am By Adrian Warnock

When I read 1 Samuel 29 I have a number of unanswered questions. At the top of the list is “Would David really have fought against King Saul alongside the Philistines he had been hiding with?” It is hard to imagine that the answer would have been yes. David told the Philistine king he would have been a loyal subject and fought his fellow Hebrews. The king believed him, but others reminded him of David’s long-forgotten past as a slayer of...

The Gospel Gap: Janet Mefferd interviews Adrian Warnock

Last updated on: June 22, 2020 at 2:11 pm By Adrian Warnock

A few days ago I connected with Janet Mefferd and she interviewed me about the need for a greater understanding of the gospel, even in church congregations. I really enjoyed the conversation. It is clear that Janet loves the gospel and understands the problem of the gospel gap, which led to us wanting to write Hope Reborn. You can listen here: Read more

Is this the beginning of the end for ALL Christian education?

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:26 pm By Adrian Warnock

I know what some of you are thinking. You see this as a UK-only problem. Well, all I can say is that the strategies that are being utilized over here will surely be utilized in the USA also. In fact, perhaps they already are. Equality legislation sounds innocuous enough, but it seems that, at least according to one article I found online, perhaps it is already beginning to be used in some cases against US education establishments. The concern is that... Read more

Beware the real Trojan Horse: Muslim children also harassed by Ofsted

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:43 pm By Adrian Warnock

I am absolutely candescent as a parent that any stranger would think it was appropriate to go into a classroom and ask young children what they thought about sexuality, and for that matter their personal religious views. This article, which I excerpt from below, was pointed out to me to on Twitter. It got this issue correct over a month ago. How the inspectors involved are not being visited by the police and asked questions themselves about what makes them think... Read more

The EU’s shameful abandonment of Mediterranean Search and Rescue

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:26 pm By Adrian Warnock

I woke this morning to hear that the UK (and the rest of the EU) have decided to stop search and rescue operations in the Mediterranean. The Italian navy has been patrolling and rescuing 150,000 people who were at risk of drowning as they tried to get from Africa to Europe as migrants. The claim is that the existence of such a safety net only encourages the migrants to risk the dangerous journey. But will migrants really be aware of... Read more

Martin Luther’s contribution: so important that God himself foretold it

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 6:51 am By Adrian Warnock

We stand in the debt of those servants of God who prompted the Reformation. I am unashamedly Protestant. I believe that the work of Luther and Calvin among others was critical in recovering the gospel itself, which had largely been lost for centuries. Yes, cynics would say all we have done is replace a single pope with thousands of them, all thinking they have infallible interpretation. There has indeed been great division. But the Reformation restored mankind’s direct connection with... Read more

ACT director says religious freedom in schools is indeed at stake

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:26 pm By Adrian Warnock

This just released from the Association of Christian Teachers: ACT – now to keep religious freedom in our schools. There has never been a time like this. Schools were part of the family business of the church and as Christians we let it go. Now those who want to uphold faith in schools are beleaguered on every side. No there hasn’t been a change in the law surrounding religious education and collective worship. No there hasn’t been a groundswell of... Read more

UK Independent Christian School releases details of government closure threat

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 6:26 pm By Adrian Warnock

What a difference a year makes in modern Britain if you are a religious school. In yesterday’s article I suggested there may be a secret plan to neuter or close all religious schools in the UK. One of the affected schools has now released more information about what they have faced. Trinity Christian School is a tiny, independently run school which takes no money from the government. In November 2013 it received the following commendation on its first Ofsted visit: The provision for pupils’ spiritual,... Read more
