Why Christians Should Argue More & Fight Less When Debating One Another

‘We cannot defend the truth by creating caricatures’. So stands the conviction of the White Horse Inn as they have been engaging in debates with people from all sorts of theological persuasions over the last two decades. The web is a trolls dream come true as they move around from blog…

Reformed Rapping & Catechisms!

Right, here is one more post on rap! I know, I know. But I found this clip online and I was just immensely impressed by it. I also discovered a website called, ‘Reformed Rappers’ with some great articles including one, unbelievably, on the subject of the regulative principle. It’s worth a look around even if rap is not your thing. How cool is the…

Christians in Football

This is an old clip from match of the day about faith in the Premier League. The piece was presented by Gavin Peacock who is coming to Niddrie next month (October 26th-Nov 5th) for 10 days. It is fascinating to watch the reaction of Lawro and Keown as they fumble about trying to be nice about the Christian faith whilst it is patently obvious they do not believe.…

How Too Much Discipleship Was Hurting Our New Christians

Our current church membership stands at about 55, with another 15 or so waiting in the wings to be baptised. We have a Sunday attendance of anywhere between 70 and 100 (I suspect that’s roughly the same number of urinals found at any Mars Hill Church). By any description we are a small…

In the 1960s, Richard, Sabina, and their son, Mihai,…

Leave Rap To The Experts Saddos!!

Just to prove that (c)rapness knows no cultural bounds! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnT22QImDLY] OK…this has been a ‘stop doing rap if it’s not your gig’ week. Indeed, what is worse is when churches think they’re cool by doing it as some sort of marketing tool to reach non Christians. They just think you’re tragic and very,…

The Hard Corp

Anybody else remember the days when book launches were sedate things done in coffee houses and maybe a quick plug from the pulpit?  Not these days my friends! Here is the launch video of a book written by Dai Hankey, a friend of mine who is church planting in one of the toughest estates in Wales.  It look suspiciously like a Scene from, ‘Saving Private Ryan’.…
