Free Presbyterian ministers are to help raise funds for an ecumenical organisation, engaged in fellowshipping with and aiding the outreaches of ecumenical denominations.
IS ASSISTING SUCH AN ORGANISATION A BREACH OF THE FREE PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER’S ORDINATION OATH?
It most certainly once would have been considered such but it appears that new rules of interpreting that oath have been adopted by some, whereby the standards of separation from apostasy once adhered to have been set aside!
Rev. Ivan Foster (Rtd) delivered a tribute at the homegoing service of Dr. John Douglas, who was his brother-in-law and fellow labourer in the Lord’s work. The service was held at Lisburn FPC, where Dr. Douglas had ministered for decades.
I count it a great privilege and honour to be invited to take part in the funeral service of Dr John Douglas.
I sincerely thank Eunice and the family for allowing me to play a small part in today’s proceedings.
I wish to express first of all, the sincere condolences of the whole Foster family, to Eunice and all the family, even as they were our comforters in the time of our sorrow at the recent home-call of Ann, my precious wife and her dear sister.

John Douglas was my dear friend as well as a brother-in-law beloved. He was a companion in the faith, a fellow labourer in the gospel and one with whom I shared an earnest contending for the ‘Crown rights of King Jesus and crown jewels of His gospel’.
I first met John in 1964, 60 years ago. That was a year of ‘introductions’ for me.
On April 5th of that year, the Lord in mercy introduced Himself to me, a lost sinner, and graciously pardoned my sins and made me a new creature.
One week later, I met a man who was to become a great influence in my early Christian life, Dr Ian Paisley. He it was who led John to Christ, his first convert at the beginning of his ministry in Ravenhill.
It was shortly after that, that I met John in the old Ravenhill church. In September of that year, I also later met my dear wife to be, Ann, along with her sisters Eunice and Jennifer and brother Charlie. (more…)
This evil man has acknowledged his guilt.
The ‘Independent’ of July 31st, reports: ‘The former BBC News at Ten anchor, 62, admitted at Westminster Magistrates’ Court to having 41 indecent images of children on his phone, seven of which were category A, the very worst kind.
Also among the 377 sexual images discovered by police – sent to him by 25-year-old convicted paedophile Alex Williams from Merthyr Tydfil, south Wales, between December 2020 and August 2021 – were 12 category B images, and 22 category C images.
Five of the category A images featured children aged between 13 and 15, while at least two were moving images that depicted a child believed to be “between seven and nine”, the court was told.’
It is also reported that he faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to making indecent images of children.
Paid in Full
Despite knowing this about the pervert, the BBC continued paying this man his full and excessively high wages until his final resignation in April of this year.
That makes the BBC complicit in his wickedness! (more…)
