Who cares about history?


I will not dignify D. A.'s remarks with a response! That is very humble of me!

Lalaland or 'Realpolitik'

"The first duty of any Government is to safeguard its people against external aggression. To guarantee the survival of our way of life. (M. Thatcher, 1976)" = Speech at Kensington Town Hall ("Britain Awake") (The Iron Lady) | Margaret Thatcher Foundation

Only one as dangerously naive as Jeremy Corbyn (in 1990) would disagree. "It is sad that the Minister and many Conservative Members seem to be pretending that the Soviet Union is our enemy. I do not believe that it has ever intended to invade western Europe. That theory was put forward by NATO and the Marshall plan. Today, they are once again seeking to raise the spectre of some Russian menace. A country that lost 20 million people in the second world war fighting fascism is not about to embark on a war against anyone." Source: First Day's Debate - Hansard - UK Parliament. 


Do I need to mention Ukraine? Starmer served under Corbyn! And then there was D. Abbott ...

We have such short memories! At least we have access to Hansard - at this present time that is!

Fire from above not below !!!

I note that “God is not done with Scotland” (sic), but we do not know how and when God’s Spirit moves and when a candlestick is about to be removed.

I also note that ‘the church’ (whatever that term might mean) is “to reignite the fire”. For real? What about Zechariah 4:6? Or, Luke 12:49? Or, John 15:5? Well - one must not be a Bible-basher or frighten people, who are looking for safe spaces, with the Gospel!

What has been forgotten is the sovereignty of God – who elects and reprobates. Nothing happens unless He alone wills and moves.

We have been witnessing God’s departing (if not yet departed) glory in many places. We need to be with Elijah on Mt. Carmel, not with the Baal worshippers, if we want to see the fire fall - 'senkrecht von oben'!

Behind this forthcoming event one detects the ashes of the heresy of Pelagianism with its origin in an other fire – from the pit!

With Christ no longer being the head of the national Church, the church has been decapitated, breathing less and less and soon becoming a corpse! 

An old hymn may be of some help:


O thou who camest from above

the fire celestial to impart,

kindle a flame of sacred love

on the mean altar of my heart.


There let it for thy glory burn

with inextinguishable blaze,

and trembling to its source return

in humble prayer and fervent praise.


Jesus, confirm my heart's desire

to work and speak and think for thee;

still let me guard the holy fire

and still stir up the gift in me.


Still let me prove thy perfect will,

my acts of faith and love repeat,

till death thy endless mercies seal,

and make the sacrifice complete.

Beware of any red flags !!!

Today's Daily Telegraph must be fake news and is completely biased. Surely, white flags, Palestinian flags and rainbow flags are safe enough. 


When the truth department, sorry, I meant ‘home office’, speaks one has to sit up, shut up and listen up ! This applies e specially to the (...
