The purpose of this column is to reflect upon current events whether cultural, political, economic, social or religious. The idea is to provoke, stimulate and challenge. Above all my desire is that God would be glorified as we think on, pray for and engage with his world.

The opinions in this column are my responsibility alone and should not be taken as the 'official' Free Church position. If you would like to contact me personally to discuss any of the issues raised you can email me at david.robertson@freechurch.org.
