“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,” 2 Peter 3:3.
DUP not attending Dublin Castle Pope address
Arlene Foster to miss date with Pope in Dublin
Arlene Foster turns down invitation from Irish Government to Pope’s visit
Arlene Foster ‘regretfully’ declines invitation to Pope’s speech in Dublin Castle
‘In a statement, the DUP said Mrs Foster appreciates the invitation but regretfully will be away with her family at that time.’
Are we to understand that had she not been on holiday, she would have ‘happily’ (the opposite of regretfully) attended?
If this is not the case, why did she ‘regret’ being unable to attend? Why did she not plainly say that she would not attend any gathering honouring the head of the organisation, the chief ordinance of which is spoken of as ‘a blasphemous fable and a dangerous deceit’ by her own Church of Ireland historic standards?”

“The DUP has missed an opportunity by not meeting Pope Francis on his Irish visit this weekend.”
So ran the headline of an article in the Belfast Newsletter of Saturday 25th August, the day the pope landed in Dublin. It was written by Ben Lowry, the deputy editor of the newspaper.
In the article he states two reasons for the opinion set forth in the headline.
1. ‘As Christianity in the West slowly but relentlessly declines, some aggressive secular values are prevailing. The speed with which social policies have changed on issues such as same-sex marriage and abortion, and the almost hysterical way in which traditionalists are harangued on those topics, means that Christians at times seem almost to have been browbeaten into not really stating what they think on such important matters.

The Lessons of the Omagh bomb
I was reminded of this message with the recent publicity surrounding the 20th anniversary of this dastardly act by dissident IRA terrorists.
Shamefully, no one has ever been convicted of the crime even though it appears to be well known who is guilty!
The message was prepared in the morning prayer meeting just before the morning service so you will have to forgive its short-comings!
Click here to listen and to read a statement issued at the time by the Free Presbyterian ministers in the area.
The following article was published in the Burning Bush at the time.
Irish Republicans Murder 28 in Omagh
The full horror of the IRA’s 30 years of murder by bomb and bullet, almost exclusively directed against the Protestant people in Northern Ireland, has been brought home to the Roman Catholic nationalist community by the horrific bombing in Omagh, Co. Tyrone, on Saturday 15th August. Read more…
Groomsport Presbyterian Church celebrates same-sex marriage of former trainee ‘minister’
(Source: Protestant Revival website) …it has recently come to our attention that Groomsport Presbyterian Church, near Bangor in County Down, has offered its support to same-sex ‘marriage’ by cheerily celebrating the recent ‘wedding’ between a former intern ‘minister’ in the congregation and her ‘girlfriend’.
In their church magazine, known as ‘Eagle Wing’, it is proudly boasted of ‘Rev’ Jennifer Barchi’s ‘marriage’ to her ‘girlfriend’. Read more…
Ecumenical charismaniacs looking to Rome for revival at Nutts Corner
(Source: Protestant Revival website) The ongoing charismatic efforts to degrade the spiritual landscape in Ulster continues apace, and they will focus their efforts next month on an ecumenical prayer initiative called ‘Healing The Land’.
Indeed, the event, scheduled for Saturday, 8th September at Nutts Corner, is being marketed as for Protestant, Catholic and those of no denomination – an ecumenist’s dream.
Perhaps Nutts Corner is a very apt venue for an easy-believist event, not just because of its name but for its reputation as a place to purchase something cheaply. Read more…
Presbytery Statement re Presbyterians attending the Papal Visit
Love for the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and concern for the eternal souls of men will prevent any Bible believer from union or communion with a Roman Catholic Church that remains as contrary to Holy Scripture today as it ever has been.
- As long as it proclaims its leader as the supreme head of the church on earth,
- denigrates the work that Christ completed on Calvary by the pretentious teachings central to its mass,
- refuses the scriptural way of salvation that justification is by faith alone in Christ alone,
- fleeces its adherents by means of an imaginary purgatory,
- and offers indulgences with as much aplomb as Tetzel managed in Martin Luther’s day,
no true Christian should engage in fellowship with this system, never mind travel to welcome its Pope. Read more…

A Tribute to Mrs Anne Ferguson
Given by Rev Ivan Foster at her funeral service in Lurgan Free Presbyterian Church, August 14th, 2018, when some 600 people gathered to sympathise with and support Rev Gordon Ferguson and his family in their bereavement.
I am not a member of Anne Ferguson’s family. However, we were both members of a family God gathered unto Himself in a time of rich blessing in the mid-60s down in Co. Fermanagh.
Anne was saved on 27th April 1969. That Sabbath evening was my first in the Lisbellaw pulpit following a month-long prison term in Crumlin Road jail. Read more…

Our unassailable God
“There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD,” Proverbs 21:30.
The day following the sodomite “Gay Pride” parade in Belfast, (Saturday, 4th August) I went to God’s house much cast down by the news reports of the support given to that evil demonstration! In a land so blessed by God over the last 500 years and more, to hear of children and babes in arms in their hundreds being brought along to such an event and being used to ‘sanitise’ this defiance of the laws of God and of nature, was most distressing.
It was in such a state of mind I went to God’s house. But it was there that God had a word for my soul! Read more…
News review Friday August 10th
“For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them,” Acts 20:27-30.

News review Friday August 3rd
“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself,” 1 Timothy 6:3-5.

A new booklet in the series:
The “Independent” newspaper reported on 8th July 2018, that, “Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte says he will quit if someone can prove God exists.” The proof the President required was “a selfie”, the modern term for “a photograph that is taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam.”
“Ex-Moderator reveals anguish over Presbyterian’s (sic) same-sex row.” So ran the headline in the Belfast Telegraph of July 2nd 2018.
