James Logan grew up in a Christian family and knew the gospel from his earliest days, but he decided to try all the world had to offer him. Through the tragic death of a friend James was awakened to his need of salvation and went to hear Willie Fenton and Matthew McKillen preaching the gospel. Through “verse 3 of number 36” (“Adore Him, the glorious work is done”) James was saved by the grace of God at the age of 24 (Preached in Northern Ireland in 2022).

Wilfred Glenn was a missionary from Northern Ireland who served the Lord in Brazil from 1970 to his unexpected sudden homecall to heaven in 1987. During his 17 years of labour in Brazil, Wilfred and his wife Kathleen left their mark on the work, in particular in a place called San Gabriel in the Rio Grande do Sul. Very small beginnings had been made in the work there, and our brother and his wife moved there to press on with the gospel. Hear the thrilling story of how an assembly was formed there in 1983 and a Gospel Hall was built. Readings: Rom 1:18, Gal 6:14 (Report given at the Belfast Easter conference in the 1980’s).

Apologetics 101 – PART 5 of 5

Consciously or not, every human being has a worldview; it’s the way they view themselves, the world and all of reality. That worldview has consequences, for what a person believes determines how they live. So what is the correct worldview and how can it be verified? Michael Penfold tests 5 common worldviews against three questions: “Where do we come from?”, “What’s wrong with the world?”, and “How do we solve the problem?”. After demonstrating that atheism, Marxism, Islam and Buddhism all fail as coherent worldviews, he introduces biblical Christianity, which provides true answers to the big questions of life. He includes a biblical answer to the oft-raised objection: “If God is a God of love, why is there so much evil in the world”. (Presentation given in 2019 in the Town Hall, Limavady)

Apologetics 101 – PART 4 of 5

In 1890, British Prime Minister, William Gladstone, wrote a book about the Bible entitled “The Impregnable Rock of Holy Scripture”. Battering this rock over recent centuries has been Higher Criticism, one of the off-shoots of the Enlightenment. In an Enlightenment world, where the universe is a self-propelled machine, man is the measure of all things, and reason has replaced revelation, there is no room for miracles, nor for a book about miracles. How can we defend the idea that the Bible is the Word of God in such a world? Michael Penfold takes up this issue. He asks two preliminary questions: first, how do we know the Bible we have today is the same as was originally written; and second, is it trustworthy? He then addresses two critical topics: the Bible’s self-attestation and its self-authentication, giving 4 internal reasons why we can know the Bible is the Word of God.
