2). No genuinely Christian private school should really receive any kind of government funding, and should refuse to take any with immediate effect.

Problems can often be easily solved with a good body of male ushers, and one or two female workers to deal with ladies.

The difficulty of locking the church up during services, is that there are believers who have work commitments in shifts, emergency services etc., doctors on call who may need to come late or leave the service early, and also genuine visitors from elsewhere who wish to attend a good church, are put off by a locked door, or in the case of midweek meetings have to ring a bell, to get into a side room, or have to telephone someone during a service, which actually causes more disruption.

1). This man was a church member, had been biblically warned about his conduct privately, and therefore the pastor did right to ask him to leave,though it could have been done through the pastor summoning the ushers during a hymn to remove the man without interrupting his sermon and doing it quite so publicly.

2). Once a very strange man came into the service, where I was ushering, and began to sit next to ladies, and even youngsters and start chatting them up. It was very unnerving, and I believe he was under demonic oppression. In the end, I made a point of sitting next to him, and at the earliest opportunity, I and another usher got him to leave. The pastor gave instructions that he was not to be readmitted to the service. Thankfully, he never showed up again.

3). Drunks often showed up at the service, but usually once they had been sat in the foyer, and had been given a coffee, were quite content to sit down and listen to the service, even if they were not quite sober.

It is not just yoga and meditation. Martial arts, and exercise programmes like Zumba, Pilates and so on are also common.

There were since then very strict requirements on any kind of gun ownership. Generally only farmers, some strictly licenced hunters, and some sports people were allowed to own guns, and there were strict rules on storage, use and availability. People with a criminal record had a life time ban on owning weapons.

We did have a good team for shooting at Olympic Games and other championships.

This all changed after 2 major incidents, of a gun massacre, both involving unhinged persons, at Hungerford in Berkshire, and then at Dunblane in Scotland. In the latter case, a corrupt scoutmaster with paedophilic tendencies, and Masonic connections, who had wrongly been allowed a gun licence by a Masonic police chief, overruling another police officer, shot up a primary school.

As a result, all legally owned pistols and revolvers were confiscated and had to be handed in, the Olympic team has to practice abroad, and only rifles are now permitted under extreme stringent conditions.

Tragically, his wrong doctrines, his interfaith PEACE plan, his Purpose Driven programme, his health programme (the wrongly named Daniel plan), where he teamed up with New Age non-Christian doctors, gave all reaped havoc with many previously good solid evangelical churches.

Even the fairly solid Pentecostal Church I attended for some years, in my Pentecostal days, as the long serving doctrinal pastor aged and began to get tired, he took the church through the “Purpose Driven” 40 day cpurse. In the end the Purpose Driven plan was not fully adopted, but it began a programme of decline.

A couple of years later the pastor retired, but stayed on as an elder.

I do know that the evil campaign of the late atheist activist Madelyn Murray O’Hare, (who I understand came to an unpleasant end, was murdered, but one of whose sons was converted to Christ), succeeded in the late 1950’s and the 1960’s in total outlawing the Bible, the 10 Commandments, and prayer in the public schools through a Supreme Court fiat by activist judges, after some 180 years of such activities being unchallenged and even supported by the authorities.

I visited an IFB church in south London last night, as I was visiting a friend who had started going there, and it happens to have an American pastor.

It was sold to us in 1975 by the then europhile “liberal” Conservative Prime Minister, the late Edward Heath, as merely a “Common Market”, a kind of free trade economic alliance. He really knew jolly well that it was an embryo superstate in the making.

It moved from being a “Common Market”, to being the European Economic Community, then the European Community, now the European Union, next stage the United States of Europe!!

The majority of the British people were fed up with this, and to the shock of the leftists, the “liberal” Conservatives, the globalists, big business, and the metropolitan elite, voted to leave in the recent referendum.

The only difference is that they are a little bit slower than the leftist parties in implementing things and there is a despised but moderately vocal minority in their party that does, to a lesser or greater extent, oppose some of these things, as opposed to the almost unanimous position of the various leftist opposition parties.

These dreadful measures are also likely to be enforced stringently by OFSTED, the government educational and children’s inspection body in England and Wales, which is very leftist in outlook, and has very strong powers to fail, merge, change the status of, and even close down schools, including the automatic dismissal of staff, that do not meet their requirements.

I moved away from that area, and later learned that under the same pastor, because of the convictions that he and many of the congregation held increasingly, they started singing psalms, mixed in with the hymns, then abandoned the hymn books, removed the piano, locked up the organ, (it is still there, but unused), and trained a couple of men as “precentors” to lead the psalm singing.

Now, I do not agree with this position, for one or two strong reasons, (one of which is that I could never sing the actual new covenant name of Jesus again, but only in a hidden, veiled old covenant form, and also the Psalms themselves speak of musical instruments and command us to use them), but we must respect these churches as they are our brothers and sisters.

The transgender business is merely the next stage, and the next stages after this are even more perverse.

Though it is a shame that he lost the House, it is good that his position is stronger in the Senate, the very body that confirms federal judicial appointments

After the terrible experience of Justice Kavanaugh I do not know who will be brave enough to stand forward and risk facing the baying left and subject their spouse and family to false accusations, riots and lawlessness to try to stop their confirmation.

At least this time the position should be easier, for another constitutionalist judge to be appointed. I really pray that the Supreme Court, and the lower federal courts will stop trying to make laws, but will just stick to interpreting the law strictly according to the constitution.
