Rearing and educating children

“For I have told him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he knoweth because his sons made themselves vile and he restrained them not,” 1 Samuel 3:13.
(The synopsis of a sermon preached in Faith Free Presbyterian Church,Greenville, South Carolina, USA, on 28th October 1993.)

I know the subject that has been given to me is rather general but I want to, as it were, be a little bit more particular and speak on this general subject but applying it to that which faces us as parents in these days.

I was thinking coming to the meeting that really my wife should be here to speak on this subject. She has many years of experience as a teacher and as a principal in our Christian school. She had a number of years of experience in a state school before that. And I suppose even more important she is the mother of six children and that I’m sure, by way of experience, has eclipsed all the years in schools of every description. And I suppose you can even add to that she’s had to look after me and perhaps that has eclipsed it all. Read more




An old battle, an old enemy, old tactics, and old weapons!!

“Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred; therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the remnant of the sea coast. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay my vengeance upon them,” Ezekiel 25:15-17.

The weapons of war that men employ have changed radically over the years. Those ready to be employed by nations today are beyond what men could have imagined a generation ago!
However, there is a war that has been ongoing since the beginning of this world and earlier still, which is executed with the same weapons and tactics with which it began! Read more


“It was general wickedness not gay sex alone which killed off Sodom city”.

This was the title of a letter that appeared in the ‘Belfast Newsletter’ of May 23rd from one, ‘Colin Nevin’. Read it here.

I felt compelled to write a reply to what he said for he seemed to be suggesting that perhaps ’sodomy’ is not the awful sin that some make it out to be! Below is my submitted response.


Sir,
In today’s edition, your correspondent Colin Nevin, who (I presume it was he who added the addendum) informs your readers that having lived in Israel he had a knowledge of Hebrew.
A knowledge of the Bible is the first essential in these matters! Read more


Pam Cameron Q&A – My children wouldn’t speak to me for 18 months – it was hell

This is the ‘changed’ face and mind of the DUP. This is what FPC members of the DUP are supporting!! “ . . . . and whose glory is in their shame,” Philippians 3:19. Read more


An answer to Atheist Alex Kane

Alex Kane is an openly avowed atheist. He does not believe in the existence of God – at present. There is a time coming all too soon for him when he will believe that there is a God and that He is indeed the God revealed in the Bible!

However, at present he plays the fool of which David speaks in Psalm 14:1. “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.”

Classified as such by the Word of God, one cannot expect too much sense out of him.

He wrote an article in the Belfast Newsletter of Monday 13th May, 2019, headlined: DUP seems to be preparing to face down the Free Presbyterians.

Personally, if that headlines means what I think it means, the ‘facing down’ cannot come quickly enough for me! Ever since the DUP entered power-sharing with unrepentant murderers and their political fellow-travellers, I have prayed that every Free Presbyterian would realise that they can have no part with such an ungodly political party as the DUP. Read more


News review for week ending Friday 10th May 2019

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron, 1 Timothy 4:1-2.

(FP) Church ministers’ dismay in protest over Belfast’s Sunday marathon

Many Christians are getting behind Belfast Marathon Sunday switch

We have to put “ ” around the word Christians for those who openly promote the desecration of the Lord’s Day forfeit the right to use that name!!!

Belfast Marathon: Organisers apologise after course is 0.3 miles too long

That is the second mistake by these organisers of Sabbath desecration!!!

First openly-gay DUP candidate elected

Dissident republican politician Gary Donnelly tops poll in area where journalist Lyra McKee was murdered

This is the reality of the support for murder found in Roman Catholic areas!!!

Once dominant party in Belfast reduced to just two seats

Not a cause for gloating by the DUP but cause to heed the warning!! They have stepped onto the same treacherous path!!!!

Read more of this week’s news review.


Reply to ecumenical letter-writers

As one of the usual ‘Easter’ unity events, Roman Catholic and Church of Ireland ecumenists in the Castlewellan area had what has become an annual march.

Free Presbyterian ministers in the area wrote to ’The Mourne Observer’ and protested at the anti-Bible nature of the event.

The protest was reported in the ‘Belfast Telegraph’’ – read the report here.
The letter of protest led to a number of reactions from ecumenists to which this letter is the final response by Rev Daniel Henderson on behalf of the local Free Presbyterian ministers.

It is refreshing to read of the spirit of protest that is still alive in the Mournes! Read more


Are Free Presbyterians wrong when they support a party which fields a sodomite candidate?

or

Is political activity exempt from the rule of God’s Law?

An earnest appeal to all ministers, elders and members of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster.

No sin, of itself, goes away, nor is spiritual wholeness restored by natural volition!

Like a disease, untreated sin will only become worse until spiritual, even physical death ensues. There is evidence of this in the church at Corinth which had departed from uprightness and propriety to indulge in sinful practices. “But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep,” 1 Corinthians 11:28-30. Read more


The day Ulster changed unutterably

Perhaps I should have entitled this articled: The Day Ulster WAS SEEN To have Changed Unutterably!

The change has been developing for quite some time, just like the spirit of Antichristianity. “For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth (holds back, detains) will let, until he be taken out of the way,” 2 Thessalonians 2:7. 

I believe its first manifestations can be traced to the day in 2007 when there was an endorsing by a sizeable section of the Protestant people of Ulster of ‘terrorist murderers in government’!

I read this morning in my daily reading the first chapter of Isaiah, verse 9, where it is stated by the prophet in a day of backsliding and departure from God: “Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.”
How applicable is that verse to the cause of God in Ulster this sad and tragic morning!

There is much rejoicing in the camps of the major political parties here in Northern Ireland. Especially it is so in the Democratic Unionist camp. The newspapers and television internet sites are adorned profusely with rejoicing politicians embracing, shaking hands and mouths wide open in exorbitant delirium!

There are also many pictures of Christians congratulating each other on success at the polls. Read more


Paul Girvan MP endorses sodomite candidate

I was sent the image below from DUP MP, Mr Paul Girvan’s Facebook page.

How sad to see such a ringing endorsement of a sodomite from professing Christians for many in the DUP share in Mr Girvan’s folly.

This must bring Heaven’s response to that which God calls an ‘abomination’! Christians cannot defy God with impunity!


News review for week ending Friday 3rd May 2019

“But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming,” Psalm 37:11-13.

Rally in support of Bloody Sunday soldier Veterans ‘could bring UK to a standstill over prosecutions’

Belfast rally told Fr Martin Magill says NI politicians felt pressure at Lyra McKee funeral

The ‘ecumenical messiah’ who delights to bask in the media spotlight and ‘blow his own trumpet’!!!

New Northern Ireland talks process to begin on May 7

‘Joint Authority’ in operation and the DUP completely subservient!!!!

DUP gay marriage stance ‘not up for debate’ despite lesbian candidate

This is an exercise in prevarication!!!! It just cannot be denied that it is NOW DUP policy to select and sanction a sodomite candidate, spending members’ money to have her elected, claiming that she is an ‘excellent candidate’ and that their supporters should vote for her!

Such endorsement of sodomy can only advance its evil objectives just as surely as promoting the sale of booze will produce drunkenness!!!

DUP-Free Presbyterian tension as party’s gay candidate choice moves it further from church roots

These misgivings stated in this article are felt by many FPs who deeply grieve over these facts!!! Arlene Foster asked priest to pray!!!!

That may impress some idiots but it will not impress the ‘Judge of all the earth’, Genesis 18:25!!!

Dublin urged to ‘butt out’ after fresh Stormont talks announced

It was the DUP which made Dublin part of our affairs when they embraced the ‘power-sharing with Sinn Fein/IRA deal’ !!!

Get a sense of humour, DUP man blasts Sinn Fein over burning leaflet Facebook post criticism

Shankill bomber Kelly pictured canvassing for Sinn Fein

Sinn Fein ready to do business on powersharing deal, leader says

This republican ‘witch’ is using the the blackmailing threat of ‘joint authority’. Who would wish to see her like in power again in Northern Ireland? No party will share power with her in Dublin! Why should we have to have Sinn Fein/IRA in power in Belfast!!!????

Sinn Fein calls for Plan B if Stormont talks fail

Sodomite marriage and an Irish Language Act are the price that Sinn Fein will demand for the restoration of ‘power-sharing’!!!

Brexit: Rees-Mogg responds to Ahern border criticism

News review for week ending Friday 26th April 2019

“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them,” 2 Timothy 3:12-14.

Lyra McKee ‘killed accidentally’ by ‘republican volunteer’ claim Saoradh

What brainless nitwit issued such a gormless and ludicrous statement as this!!!?? It reveals the depraved idiocy of the IRA!!

Our hopes and dreams have been snuffed out: Partner of Lyra McKee

How unimaginably true are these words in a manner unintended by this woman. She, like her dead companion, is part of that community who utterly reject the Word of God regarding their lifestyle. Consequently, she will discover as has her companion that: ‘The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.,’ Proverbs 10:28.

Lyra McKee: Murdered Belfast journalist ‘committed to truth’

What a dreadful notion some have of what ‘TRUTH’ is! You cannot be ‘committed to truth’ and live in defiance of God’s TRUTH!!

Lyra McKee’s funeral will be a celebration of her life – partner

What was her life?? ‘A tireless advocate and activist’ in the cause of sodomites!!!!

The lies used by the IRA today are but the same lies issued against the security forces by McGuinness’ IRA in the previous generation of terrorists!!

Lyra McKee: Two teenage men arrested in connection with journalist’s killing

Lyra McKee murder: Two men released without charge

How often we have seen this happen!! Big noise about arrests only for those arrested to be quietly released in a day or two!!  Who does the PSNI think they are fooling?? Let there be news statements ONLY after charges are laid!!

Lyra McKee death: Sinn Féin leader says dissidents must “pack up”

WHY??? The shooting of Lyra McKee is minor in comparison to the atrocities and massacres her party rejoiced in and still celebrate!!

Lyra McKee murder: Derry ‘does not support violence’

Yes, and the moon is made out of blue cheese!!!

Saoradh calls on ‘IRA’ to apologise for Lyra McKee murder

New IRA apologises for murder of Lyra McKee as 57-year-old woman is arrested under Terrorism Act 

Lyra McKee killing: ‘New IRA’ admits responsibility

It’s called ‘damage limitation’ – in its most hypocritical form!!!!

Lyra McKee: Standing ovation as priest challenges politicians

Arlene, what does it feel like to have your nose rubbed in it while sitting beside the two chief apologists for the IRA which attempted to murder your father??? What arrogance by this representative of an organisation that has destroyed the lives of millions of young people through its paedophilia and done to death millions more for their adherence to the Bible!!

Lyra McKee murder: Sinn Fein declines to call gunmen ‘traitors’ as McGuinness did

Eilis O’Hanlon: Why it is just one short, perilous step from ‘understanding’ dissident violence to defending or excusing it

Lyra McKee murder: How was this allowed to happen? Call for ban on parades of hate after Dublin march by Saoradh

It happened because there is an unquenchable love for the use of the bomb and the bullet against the hated ‘British’ amongst Irish Roman Catholics. It will never go away!

Lyra McKee murder: Parties call for talks to resume

The utter hypocrisy of it all!! There seems to be no remembering of the thousands of murdered and injured in the terrorism mounted and supported by Sinn Fein/IRA!!

Lyra McKee murder can be ‘doorway to new beginning’ for Northern Ireland, mourners told at Belfast funeral

This death and the propaganda surrounding it will only result in Sinn Fein and Popery making further gains, aided by the idiotic leaders of Unionism!!!!

Lyra McKee’s funeral to be ‘celebration’ of young life lost too soon

The ‘celebration’ of this young woman’s life, which was devoted to that which God calls ‘an abomination’, will take place in the Church of Ireland’s ‘St Anne’s Cathedral’ in a joint Anglican/Roman Catholic service!!!

Lyra McKee funeral: Murdered journalist is ‘great loss to LGBT community’

That says it all!!!!

Alf McCreary: Cathedral with strong record of inclusivity is a fitting choice for Lyra’s funeral

It’s not often McCreary gets it right but he has this time. Nothing is more fitting than the place which has long been the centre of apostasy and falsehood is now the place where the defiance of God in the life of this woman is celebrated and rejoiced over!!!

Lyra McKee: Theresa May to attend funeral

Not many other victims of terrorism were so ‘honoured’! Why??

Arlene Foster ‘not embarrassed into standing’ after priest’s rebuke at Lyra McKee’s funeral

She should have been embarrassed at being there at all. She will be one day!

Arlene Foster says murder of Lyra McKee ‘has not changed’ DUP stance on same-sex marriage

Would it not be true to say that it had changed BEFORE the murder of Lyra McKee!!!!

Hypocrisy of SF leader in her selective condemnations

Thousands attend Easter Rising commemoration parades

Ministering to Those with Sexual and Gender Struggles

How sad to see the utter departure from and repudiation of the “old paths” by Bob Jones University!

How ‘Old Bob Sr’ would grieve over such a thing. He was recorded saying that he would prefer the institution to be “blown to smithereens” than have the likes of this happen!


Pilgrims join in inter-faith walk in Derry

These are akin to those referred to by Paul the Apostle in Galatians 6:12. They “ . . . desire to make a fair shew in the flesh.” There is no Biblical support for such vanity in either the teaching of the Apostles or in the practices of the Apostolic Church!!!

Mixed response to DUP running first openly gay election candidate

The comments in this article clearly indicate that this woman’s acceptance as a candidate is the ‘thin end of the wedge.’ The Sodomite community want greater compromises by the DUP and they will get them! We commend Jim Wells for his forthright condemnation but ask him to do the right thing and leave the party.

As for Rev David McIlveen’s ‘fork-tongued’ words, he appears to suggest that if the sodomite candidate deviates from the ‘Party Manifesto’ that would be wrong but her deviation from the word of God is not denounced in plain language!

A question for Christians in DUP, particularly its elected politicians

This exposures the lie peddled by Republicans that there is widespread desire for a Gaelic education amongst Roman Catholics. The lie has been accompanied by an insatiable demand for government funding to facilitate this ‘great need’!!!!

Dr Philip McGarry: The New IRA are not mentally ill or deluded, they are just doing what the IRA always did

These are the people that the DUP went into power-sharing with and are anxious to return again to partnership with them!!!
