By Pastor Roy Mohon It is recorded of Solomon that “he spake three thousand proverbs: and his songs were a thousand and five. And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall.” (1 Kings 4.32-33) There is a lot that we can […]
Alice in Westminster
By Roy Mohon We might not have expected Alice in Wonderland to be mentioned in Parliament during the “same-sex marriage” debate but she was. We read of Alice that Humpty Dumpty said to her in a scornful tone, “When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean, – neither more […]

Apocalypto and the Bible
By Roy Mohon Mel Gibson’s film Apocalypto will introduce cinema audiences on both sides of the Atlantic to the ancient apostasy that flourished after the global flood.
