Mervyn Storey challenged — why no answer ????

The following is taken from a report in the Belfast Telegraph of 5th August 2025.

Mervyn Storey has been the subject of many articles in the Burning Bush in which his hypocrisy and his acting contrary to the teaching of the Bible and the oath he took when ordained as an elder in Ballymoney Free Presbyterian Church have been highlighted.

Here are two of the articles. Double click on the pdf image and scroll down to see all of the articles.

Principles abandoned – God’s Truth Betrayed!

Mervyn Storey tried to distance himself from funding of sodomites


The controversy aroused by this video ought to embarrass the Free Presbyterian Church in Ballymoney. But it ought to do more than that. There needs to be a recognising that one day “‭God shall judge the secrets of men,”‬ Romans 2:16. The exposing of the hypocrisy of Mervyn Storey and his running away rather than answering the questions put to him in this video are but a foretaste of that great day!

If they were false accusations that were being made, WHY DID HE NOT SAY SO?

Did not his running away speak volumes?

The minister and elders of the church have been told of Storey’s unscriptural conduct but nothing has ever been done. Now they too are silent!

How far from the stand of 1951 and the brave stand of Ballymoney’s founder, Sandy McAuley, have some in the Free Presbyterian Church fallen!

Here are extracts from the ‘BELFAST TELEGRAPH’ article.

DUP councillor cornered by Burke family over education body’s transgender guidance

A DUP councillor has been targeted by members of the controversial evangelical Burke family over an Education Authority document issuing guidance to assist schools in Northern Ireland in dealing with issues relating to transgender students.

The Burkes confronted Mr Storey outside Hebron Free Presbyterian Church in Ballymoney

The 17-minute video was posted yesterday evening to the X account of Enoch Burke, who was suspended from his role as a teacher at Wilson’s Hospital School, Co Westmeath, after a dispute over his refusal to recognise a transgender student’s identity in 2022. (more…)

The real criminals in the ‘illegal immigrants’ crisis

The constant reporting on the news channels of just how many illegals are being ferried into the UK by criminal gangs, has reached the stage of ‘ad nauseam’! This is one of today’s examples:

Violent Channel smuggling gang’s French and UK network exposed by undercover BBC investigation

The absolute flood of channel crossings virtually every day and the hapless French police standing by, indeed often assisting the illegals; the pathetic and utterly ineffective measures proposed, applied and scrapped as useless by our Westminster government; the hand-flapping fulminations from the sidelines by politicians who, in the past, have proved themselves to be equally inadequate – (but who expect the general public to be so stupid as to forget their failures), the ludicrously insane housing in top class hotels, feeding and putting extravagant sums of money into the pockets of these ‘outlaws’ — can only be explained as the workings of some sort of virus that has ‘unhinged’ the rulers of our nation!

In the light of how these ‘invaders’ are treated we can expect it to be law soon that if we catch a burglar in our home and stealing our property, we must not apprehend them and call the police, but rather we must give them the best room in our home, clothe and feed him and put our money at his disposal!

To do otherwise will be deemed unlawful and contrary to the human rights of the outlaw!

In truth, the assembly of maniacs in Luxembourg City, called the ‘The Court of Justice’ of the European Union (CJEU), formerly known as the European Court of Justice (ECJ), is the judicial institution of the European Union. It ensures that EU law is interpreted and applied correctly across all member states. It has laid down just how these miscreants are to be treated! It is at the centre of a web of a judicial system that dictates how all within the grasp of the European Union should live and act and think.

The United Kingdom left the EU in January 2020 but because of the mind-boggling jiggery-pokery of Westminster’s deceivers and liars, we are still under the influence of this evil foreign body! (more…)

Journeying through life clutching our own destruction

Rev. Ivan Foster
