In today’s show originally recorded and broadcast on October 6 2026, Andy is joined by Dr. Peter Hammond for a show entitled, “The Real Story Of Galatians.”

We discussed: why Martin Luther regarded the book of Galatians as the best book in the Bible; how the book of Galatians is the oldest letter by the Apostle Paul in the Bible; the Five Solas in the book of Galatians; why Christianity is first and foremost a relationship with Almighty God through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and not a religion; “International Life Chain Sunday” which just took place at the weekend; and many other topics.

In today’s show originally recorded and broadcast on September 29 2026, Andy is joined by Dr. Peter Hammond for a show entitled, “The Real Story Of Second Corinthians.”

We discussed: why the Corinthians were the most difficult church that Paul had to deal with; how nowhere in the Bible does Jesus Christ promise that a Christian will be free from suffering or sorrow; where in the book of Second Corinthians Paul identified himself as a Hebrew Israelite from the seed of Abraham; why true love is measured by sacrifice; the story of South Africa’s new ambassador to the United States who claims that South African ‘White Genocide’ does not exist; and many other topics.

In today’s show originally recorded and broadcast on September 22 2026, Andy is joined by Dr. Peter Hammond for a show entitled, “The Real Story Of First Corinthians.”

We discussed: why the land of Corinth and book of First Corinthians is relevant to the circumstances in which we find ourselves living today; who wrote the letter to the Corinthians; how democracy chose to save Barabbas rather than Jesus Christ; and many other topics.

In this episode of Christian Perspective on the News on Radio Cape Pulpit, host Anton Brink welcomes Dr. Peter Hammond to discuss the serious threats facing the Cape baboons. Dr. Hammond raises concerns about proposals from the Cape Peninsula Baboon Management Joint Task Force, which include killing, sterilising, fencing in, and placing baboons into captivity. He notes that opposition groups like the Green Group in Simon's Town, through spokesperson Carol Knox, argue the solution is simple: provide locals with baboon-proof trash cans rather than blaming the baboons for unsecured food. Dr. Hammond highlights the massive deforestation in the Cape Peninsula since 1994, estimating that ten million trees have been lost, which has shrunk the baboons' natural habitat and driven them to raid unsecured garbage bins. He points out that the baboon population has nearly doubled since 2000 while their habitat has shrunk, creating a recipe for conflict. He warns that removing baboons could endanger the Cape's UNESCO World Heritage Site status and notes that UNESCO is monitoring the situation closely. He also points out that the Western Cape Constitution provides for an independent Commissioner for the Environment, a post that has never been filled. Dr. Hammond argues that baboons are vital ecosystem engineers and critical seed dispensers, and that Scripture calls us to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. He urges listeners to support the animal anti-cruelty leagues and SPCA, to insist on the appointment of the Commissioner for the Environment, and to protect these wild animals as part of our Christian responsibility.

In today’s show originally recorded and broadcast on September 15 2026, Andy is joined by Dr. Peter Hammond for a show entitled, “The Real Story Of Romans.”

We discussed: why the book of Romans is one of the most important books in the New Testament; how the book of Romans brought Martin Luther to Jesus Christ; how Paul’s epistle to the Romans is the longest epistle and the longest letter that has been discovered in Ancient Rome; why it is not possible to please Christ and please the world; why we are no longer able to expect the support of God in a time of war; and many other topics.

In today’s show originally recorded and broadcast on September 8 2026, Andy is joined by Dr. Peter Hammond for a show entitled, “The Real Story Of Acts.”

We discussed: how the book of Acts is actually the second part of the book of Luke with the same author, indeed contrary to popular belief, Luke was the most prolific writer of the New Testament; how the book of Acts documents the expansion of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire; how witnessing and martyrdom go together in the book of Acts; why the New Testament was originally written in Greek; the dangers of counterfeit religion; the 2026 film “A Great Awakening” which was released to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration Of Independence; South Africa’s involvement in the First and Second World Wars, an element of which Peter is commemorating at the weekend; and many other topics.

WHY SHOULD I CARE about DATES in HISTORY with Dr. Peter Hammond

In this episode of the Get Up and Go Breakfast program on Radio Cape Pulpit, host Anton Brink speaks with Dr. Peter Hammond about the dangers of passivity, inactivity, and neutrality in the Christian life – and the importance of responding to God's call with action and obedience.

Dr. Hammond begins with the story of King David in 2 Samuel 11:1: "In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David remained in Jerusalem." This moment of passivity – staying behind when he should have been on the battlefield – led to David's disastrous fall into sin. Dr. Hammond warns that apathy is a guaranteed pathway to spiritual disaster – whether it's ignoring God's commands, failing to act when the Bible speaks, or staying passive when God sends us out.

He emphasizes that sins of omission (the good we fail to do) are just as serious as sins of commission. He cites James 4:17, Matthew 25, and Jeremiah 48:10 ("A curse on him who is lax in doing the Lord's work") to show that God expects us to act, not just talk.

Dr. Hammond shares his personal testimony of responding to God's calls with enthusiasm: when he first heard the gospel, he committed his life to Christ; when volunteers were needed, he volunteered; when he heard of persecuted Christians in Mozambique, he prayed and then acted – smuggling Bibles into the war-torn country in 1982. He encourages listeners to respond to needs and to the commands of Scripture with obedience and faith.

He closes with powerful encouragements:

"It is far better to light a candle than to curse the darkness."

"You only have one life, and it will soon be passed. Only what's done for Jesus Christ will last."

"The will of God will never lead you where the grace of God cannot keep you."

His message is clear: Christ's last command (the Great Commission) must become our first concern – we must not waste our lives on lesser things.

In today’s show originally recorded and broadcast on September 1 2026, Andy is joined by Dr. Peter Hammond for a show entitled, “The Real Story Of John.”

We discussed: how unlike most of the disciples of Jesus Christ, John came from a privileged background; the events in the life of Jesus that are only covered in the book of John; what is the major emphasis in the book of John; the 1981 film “Chariots Of Fire” about the Christians in the British Olympic Team of 1924; the botched circumcision scandal which is going on in South Africa; and many other topics.
