Into the Pray

Dear All,

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

“Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?” (Job 12:11).

I'd also encourage you to read the blog version of the previous episode here for prayer & reflection.

LAST TIME: The main point was that Francis Schaeffer was born twelve years after the death of J. C. Ryle who had no choice but to defrock his first-born son from a position of leadership in the Church of England, such was the tentacle reach of liberal theology even into his own family. We are all engulfed in the collapse & systemic decline of evangelicalism, whether we know it or not. 

TODAY: I respond to a prophetic message from English church leader, Chris Wickland, that came to my attention through a text from a friend in America this morning. The link that I have forwarded to Chris regarding our tribute to Melvin Tinker is here.

Before listening to my response, (& in addition to it),  I’d like to emphasise that I don’t think this is necessarily a deliberately false prophet speaking or even that elements of what Chris shares about the autumnal change in church paradigm/season is wrong, (it will be impossible to judge this properly because the prophecy is too non-descript for this to be validated, especially given that Chris doesn’t even hold to a specific date that would officially mark the beginning of autumn).

I’d also like to endorse the general sense of what Chris says which is that the British church over the next two decades will:

1) Look radically & shockingly dissimilar to how we currently understand the Body of Christ &

2) This disruption will touch everything that we hold dear

BUT I strongly disagree that this will be an ecumenical “standing shoulder to shoulder.” (Rather: 1 Corinthians 11:19).

Chris, if you ever happen to listen, perhaps we can exchange notes in the future, but I do not believe that it is preparing the Church for the tribulation that is coming to preach about a post-millennial Golden Age of the Church. This is the wrong trajectory and perhaps one that will most ill-prepare the Bride for the Wedding supper of the Lamb. Please teach your people to long for this above ALL things. We need repentance NOT revival. (Then we might understand what revival actually is).

Dear All,

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray. I'd also encourage you to read the blog version of this episode here for prayer and reflection.

Francis Schaeffer was born twelve years after the death of J. C Ryle who had no choice but to defrock his first-born son from a position of leadership in the Church of England, such was the tentacle reach of liberal theology even into his own family. There is no way that Ryle would remain within the Church of England today. He was too strong for that, too desirous of God. Spirit is always thicker than blood.

Listen on for my main observations from reading his 1985 book, The Great Evangelical Disaster.

We are all engulfed whether we know it or not. 

FOR YOUR DIARY: Look out for our sessions on Textual Criticism in the next week or two; we're looking forward to introducing you to a book that should be in every disciple's locker. And we'll also be doing some videos together as a couple looking at Dane Ortlund's wonderful book, Gentle and Lowly. Podcast preview here and YouTube short here.

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

An Evening of Eschatology can be watched here.

Today's episode is our next instalment digging down into the three main eschatological positions that we introduced in April 2022. (You can listen to the overview episode here , the pre-mill dispensationalism episode here , the historic pre-mill here and the post-mill here).

Our aim in this podcast is to clarify distinctives of amillennialism for you and to hold it up as a legitimate eschatological interpretation - unlike dispensational pre-millennialism.

We also finish this mini-series by discussing what it means to be afforded the luxurious current reality of time to prepare, and how suffering relates with this.

Dear All,

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

This is part 1 of our 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).

What is textual criticism, why is it so important to get right and how does it relate to our faithful, public witness as disciples of Jesus Christ, the coming King?

Dear All,

Thank you for listening to Into the Pray.

This brief but weighty word landed with me in prayer this morning with force. Please at least respect us enough to listen, think and pray with an open heart.

Please see the original blog-form of this word here for photos and links, as well as a deep albeit brief word of thanks to our supporters.

Martin Luther once slammed Desiderius Erasmus by saying:

"Your thoughts of God are too human."

Luther was right, but then again, so too were his thoughts of God too human. This is true for all of us but, for some, more terminally  true - for those who think they know God when they do not.

Thanks for listening to this podcast. You can watch the video here.

Please take a moment to engage with these podcasts and videos. We want truth and radical disruption to penetrate the wider church psyche.

This short video is an exposé from our first street event last Sunday during which we targeted a false "church" preaching a false "gospel" led by false "christians".

Should "christian" women be growing beards? Should "christian leaders" be lovingly providing beard products?

Are you seriously going to continue having holy huddles while the world - and much of the church - slipstreams to Sheol?

Are you being obedient to the one thing that Jesus has told you to do?

Make a cross, go to the lost!
