Abraham's Journey
By Charlie Johnston In 2 Timothy 3:5, St Paul warns that a time will come when there are people who have a “form of godliness, but deny the power thereof.” He urges that we all turn away and avoid such men. I am well aware that there are many who wear clerical robes who do […]
Read More Our Light and Our SalvationBy Charlie Johnston Elite sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died in jail over the weekend, reportedly of suicide. That it was possible for him to commit suicide at all strains credulity, given the prominence of his case and the supposed close watch he was supposed to be under. Since the unsealing last week of previous court […]
Read More Out of the Pot and Into the…By Charlie Johnston Over the last few weeks several people whose counsel I value deeply have pointed out to me that these last few months I have often revisited old prophecies – and all too often with an unsavory tone of self-justification.

Read More Our Latest Service: Addresses of US BishopsSt. Paul enjoins us: “Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (Philippians 4:8) An idea of excellence has been on my heart since Charlie came down […]
Read More The Greatest of These Is LoveBy Charlie Johnston By now most of you know that David Daleiden had a banner day on Wednesday. Federal District Judge William Orrick tentatively eliminated most of the causes of action in Planned Parenthood’s multi-million dollar suit against Daleiden, effectively reducing it to a shaky trespassing claim. PP’s original attack for tens of millions of […]
Read More David Rocks Planned Parenthood’s GoliathI published this piece a little over three years ago. It is more urgent to contemplate now than it was then.
