Into the Pray

Greetings Everyone

Thank you for taking the time to listen to Into the Pray.

In approaching advent this year, I wanted to provide a daily devotional series by way of an audio version of A. W. Tozer's classic, The Knowledge of The Holy.

I'll read two chapters a day running up to the completion on Friday, December 23rd.

Part 1 is here.
Part 2 is here.
Part 3 is here.

The book has been an immense blessing to me in the past and so I hope it will be a blessing for you as you ease into a festive period of reflection, yearning for Him to come and, to that end, prayer.

If you'd like to see an old video/music project inspired by Tozer's opening line in this book (with yours truly without much facial hair) please see here.

Dear All,

Thank you for listening to the podcast!

I received a very disappointing rejection of my manuscript last week after a promising potential for it to be supported by an evangelical publisher in the UK.

Even more distressing however was the publisher's stated rationale (as well as lack thereof)  for their decision: apathy.

Dear Nick,

Thanks again for sending over your book idea. We appreciate you thinking of us.

Another team member and I looked over the PDF you sent and discussed it. I think we both agree that you are making some interesting and valuable points but, on balance, we felt it was perhaps a little too provocative for EP at the moment. I’m sorry, I appreciate that you are partly rallying against the type of apathy that we are showing in declining for this reason but it’s where we fell, nonetheless.

Wish you well with it as you endeavour to get it out by other means.

Anon

In this episode of Into the Pray I offer a few brief thoughts about this apathy from Christian publishers whose publishing decisions are often based on money and Christian 'pop culture' rather than on prophetic urgency.

J. C. Ryle would have been aghast by this apathy, as am I.

“We want more boldness among the friends of truth. There is far too much tendency to sit still and wait for committees…We want more men who are not afraid to stand alone. It is truth, not numbers, which shall always in the end prevail. We have the truth, and we need not be ashamed to say so. The judgment day will prove who is right, and to that day we boldly appeal.”

— J C Ryle

By contrast, have you ever considered the courage of the Holy Spirit that the men and women who owned printing presses had in the sixteenth century and that was demonstrated by standing with men like William Tyndale and Martin Luther?

God knows we need this courage today - what a slight on His glorious Name that apathy can be so readily admitted by evangelicals.

Can you imagine standing before the Judgment Seat of Christ and, acknowledging your apathy, shrugging your shoulders and saying, "But this is where I fell nonetheless”?

Read: "What I Learnt From Walking Away From A Mainstream Publisher".

Tomorrow I will begin a short series running up to Christmas reading A. W. Tozer's classic, The Knowledge of the Holy.

Greetings all

A friend recently made a point about the critical question of church closures and I wanted to respond to that publicly for the wider benefit of anyone else who is willing to listen.

I have had a nasty chest infection over the last 7-10 days and hence will be resuming a flurry of podcasting activity from tomorrow onwards.

Thank you for your prayers as my second manuscript has been rejected by an evangelical publisher for being too provocative. If you'd like to support this new book as a partly auto-biographical follow-on from Body Zero (2019), please drop me a line.

I’ll say more about this tomorrow when I record the first of a new short series of podcasts that you’re going to hopefully love!

After a brief update about the podcast and my new forthcoming book, here’s the audio from a video that went live on YouTube yesterday. Within this brief focus on church leaders, elders and deacons, I give a response to Thabiti Anyabwile's book of the same title. 

You can watch the YouTube version of this here with a short preview here.

Finding faithful elders and deacons - a pretty simple reality, eh?  No, not simple but extremely important. What decisions do you need to make moving into 2023?

You can also listen to a full LIVE reading of Job from last night.

Thank you for your prayers as my second manuscript currently sits with a publisher for consideration. If you'd like to support this project as a partly auto-biographical follow-on from Body Zero (2019), please drop me a line.

Here's the audio from my video containing part of Doug Wilson's recent live stream discussing the "new evangelical order" within their annual No Quarter November content.

You can watch the YouTube version of this here.

Doug's video in question is here.

Within the video I interject as though I was in the room with Doug and his friend Jared. Before God as my witness, this is what I would say to the guys if occasion rose for a proper conversation.

Thank you for your prayers as I compete my second manuscript. If you'd like to support this project as a partly auto-biographical follow-on from Body Zero (2019), please drop me a line.

Hello!

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

If you'd like to listen to my response to Doug Wilson's commentary on the Body of Christ, please see the video here. 

This morning’s devotional looks at Psalm 63 and the soul-thirst of King David within the wilderness of Judah. 

My soul thirsts for you (v1)
My soul will be satisfied (v5)
My soul clings to you (v8)

As you live in the world, are you aware of your extreme soul-thirst?

Look out for another podcast shortly with the audio I mentioned from the video responding to Doug Wilson’s commentary on the Body of Christ.

Thank you for your prayers as I compete my second manuscript. If you'd like to support this project as a partly auto-biographical follow-on from Body Zero (2019), please drop me a line.

Dear All,

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

If you would be willing to support our work, please see here and get in touch.

This is part 5 of our series on textual criticism and close look at Elijah Hixon and Peter Gurry's excellent book, Myths and Mistakes in New Testament Textual Criticism. (Check YouTube for a short glimpse of the book).

Episode 1 is here.
Episode 2 is here.
Episode 3 is here.
Episode 4 is here.

This week Nick and Mairi try to make sense of a very unpleasant exchange with an American lady who describes herself as a proponent of new atheism and who believes that Jesus was/is not real, that we are unimpressive cult leaders and that our sole intention is to lie and deceive.

The lady's website is here.

This podcast deals with the profound arrogance, hypocrisy and inhumanity of new atheism as well as once again highlighting the historic fault lines in the chaos of the Church that we believe perfectly explain why a self-identifying ex-'Christian'-cum-atheist can think and type like this.

American Lady, we have been robust but we continue to be willing to speak personally if you will desist with the accusations. The ball is in your court.

Everyone else, please familiarise yourself, as we are, with The Institute for New Testament Textual Research (INTF). Their website is here.
