If Jesus Christ Is the Unlettered Prophet Described in Surah Al-A’raf (Surah 7) of the Holy Qur’an, What Does This Mean for Christians?
What follows is a quotation from the Holy Qur’an (Chapter 7, Verses 156-158) in the M.A.S. Abdel Haleem transliteration: ‘I shall ordain My mercy for those who are conscious of God and pay the prescribed alms; who believe in Our Revelations; who follow the Messenger – the unlettered prophet they find described in the Torah…

What Must I Do to Be Saved?
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. God did not send…

My Testimony So Far
Hello everyone, I have spent a long time obsessing over spiritual matters in my adulthood, because I take the warnings about Judgement Day and hell found in the Bible and the Qur’an very seriously. It has been a real challenge for me trying to reconcile my love for Jesus and the Bible with the Qur’an,…

Interpreting a Dream
Do not be troubled by what I write, for it is a personal experience not to be compared with your own experiences. Dreams are mysterious and wonderful. A few months ago, shortly before I went to sleep, I was a mess of emotions. I was so confused. Who exactly is Jesus? Is Jesus God? But…

Lord of Mercy and Justice
I remember a few years ago when I first became aware of the vast scale of the corruption that is alleged to be happening among those in positions of power in the world. It was hard to stomach; that the world could be evil to the extent that I was reading about. Of course, we…

Divine Justice in the Absence of Free Will
In this article, I would like to write about justice from the perspective that God is in control of everything that happens, which is a key component of my philosophical worldview. God’s sovereignty over all events means that when a human being does something that is considered by a person or organisation to be wrong,…

Free Will and Salvation
In this post I’m going to look at the heart of the gospel – the idea that we are sinners in need of salvation. Is this really true?

A Humble Request For a Donation From a Fellow Christian
Dear all, I would really appreciate any money you can spare at this time. For a few days I have had only twenty pence, which buys nothing these days. Every person I beg to on the street rejects me – even though some of them claim to be Christians. This is despite what Jesus taught…

A Brief Personal Update | Agony and Ecstasy
I recently looked back through entries from the last few months in my beloved Moleskine journal. It made for uncomfortable reading. “Today, I spent the whole day feeling stressed, confused and frustrated.” “Today, I took an overdose of Procyclidine again because I couldn’t bear the stress any more.” “I switched off my phone again today…

Discount News
I received an email today from the company that prints and fulfills orders of physical copies of my books saying that shipping prices are increasing. In response, the Lord led me to initiate a sale on my website offering 10% off all paperback versions of my books to help compensate. This sale is in addition…

“God Willing”
Despite the fact that making plans can be comforting and provide a sense of stability and assurance, the Lord is continuing to challenge me to live ‘in the now’ and not make plans at all. This is a very counter-cultural way of living as we are taught in school to plan everything and as adults…

Reflections: How to get your free copy
Would you be interested in reading my latest book Reflections: Enlightening Insights Into the Divine Mystery? The book contains twelve contemplations on the nature, activity and purposes of God from a panentheistic perspective.
