Ten reasons why every Christian should vote

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

I cannot vote in the American elections because I am not American. But if I could, I would. I will not offer a reason to vote for any specific candidate in this post, but felt I needed to urge those who can vote to do so! This was prompted by hearing of some who think Christians shouldn’t vote at all and even worse a strange movement exists which has somehow persuaded 1.4 million to pledge to spoil ballot papers by adding Jesus as a write-in candidate....

Skyfall – James Bond at 50

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

Spoiler alert! This post contains a fair bit of information about the plot. If you haven’t yet seen the film, and want to be surprised, stop reading now! The summary of this post that this is in one sense a stereotypical Bond movie, and you will by now know what to expect, no doubt. If you like Bond, then I recommend this film. If you don’t then it is not sufficiently different to draw you in. As usual in the last... Read more

Awaken the dawn

Last updated on: September 16, 2017 at 5:43 pm By Adrian Warnock

“Let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3) It’s not enough to know about him. It’s not enough to live an outwardly holy life that’s good enough to con most people. That hunger in our hearts is a longing for communion with Him. Lets pursue his presence. Looking for songs to help you? The... Read more

Jesus, the liberator of women

Last updated on: August 22, 2022 at 9:10 am By Adrian Warnock

I think that sometimes in our eagerness to debate we forget just how much we actually agree on. I really liked this post from Frank Viola here at Patheos Evangelical. I agreed with every word of the whole post. In the spirit of Mary Magdalene — the first woman to set eyes on the resurrected Christ – women are free to testify to the good news of Jesus and His resurrection. In the spirit of Mary – the mother of... Read more

US Presidential Elections: A nation divided

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

I was asked this week what issues in the American Elections concern my constituency of readers, many of whom are American. I think a number will agree with an issue that is not often expressed. For me, as a British observer, one big concern I have is for the unity of your great nation. It seems that with every passing election cycle the divisions grow deeper. Some Republicans dismiss Obama as out to destroy what makes America great, while some... Read more

What is an Evangelical?

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 6:31 am By Adrian Warnock

In this post, I offer a meaning of Evangelical, but this must be read in conjunction with my post “What is a Christian?” I do not claim in this post to be outlining the boundary markers of Christianity. Evangelicalism is a part of the broader Christian movement. I also do not claim any special authority to lay out these principles which are not new to me. It is true that Evangelicalism can be hard to define. But this is I... Read more

What is a Christian?

Last updated on: June 13, 2020 at 6:28 am By Adrian Warnock

I believe it is very important that we broaden our definition of Christian, but at the same time narrow our definition of Evangelical. UPDATE: See also this post “How to become a Christian“ Very often people confuse the two these days. The Evangelical movement has always been a movement within the wider Christian movement. Often it has been accused of believing that only other Evangelicals are really Christians. It is no wonder then, that some today do not like it... Read more

Interfaith Dialogue: For Liberals Only?

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

I am sure at least some of you have worried that me moving to Patheos is a sign that I have become ecumenical or worse still a liberal. Evangelicals have always had a somewhat tortured relationship with ecumenicism and what is usually done under the name of “interfaith dialogue.” The reason for this is really quite simple: we care profoundly about our integrity, and our truth claims. In other words, we do not want to engage with others in a way... Read more

Don’t just stand there: PRAY something
