I’ve just been listening (repeadtedly) to a great sermon by my good buddy Jonathan Martin, pastor of Renovatus in Charlotte NC. In it, he talks about ‘Drinking the Cup’; meaning surrendering to God’s will, even if it’s very bitter, regardless of whether or not it brings any reward. It’s not sexy. It’s not flashy and [...]
Forget secularism.
Forget Islamic extremists.
Forget lefty liberals.
Forget communism, consumerism and confidence tricksters.
The biggest threat to Christianity today is from within.
The biggest threat to Christianity is Christians.

Yes, folks, the Free Church of Scotland has clearly lost the plot. Not only are they employing wild and crazy left-wing-commy ministers, ministers with beards, and have put Mark Driscoll on the front of the Monthly Record, now they’ve gone completely bonkers and have actually employed a Jedi Knight.
Apparently, a FCYA outreach to Dagobah [...]
Oh you lucky, lucky people. If you turn on BBC2 at 7pm tonight, you’ll have the enviable pleasure of watching me presenting a show.
The MacTV series ‘Ealtainn’ looks at a host of different aspects of Arts, Literature & Culture and tonight the focus is on “Christian Rock” (quotes mine). I haven’t actually seen the [...]
Oh dear.
My friend James worryingly informs me that someone just arrived at his blog by using the search terms “Iain MacKinnon Antichrist”…
The chickens have apparently come home to roost.
This is rapidly moving from silly to scary.
This was originally going to be a reply to a previous blog comment, but it outgrew itself. I simply cannot believe some of the ideas and arguments being expressed by certain individuals. Things were bad before, but they suddenly got worse.
For those who have just dropped by, I’d [...]
People, people…. I am getting seriously worried about some of you. Since my tongue-in-cheek “Is Barack Obama the Antichrist” post and my brazenly facetious numerology post, traffic to Mackle has been getting busier, up until a crazy explosion with the beginning of the primaries when my visits increased thirty-fold. As a Scot, I entered this [...]
This is weird. I sat the theological worldview quiz again, half expecting to get a quite different result to when I did it before. I still came out as an Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan (!!!)
Frankly I’ve never thought of myself in that way, but if I move down the list a bit, I wholeheartedly embrace being called [...]
 Well, guys, I don’t know how many folks are going to be in the tiniest bit interested in this, but I thought I’d let you know anyway that airing today is a new radio series I’ve done called “Ceol is Creideamh” (Music & Faith) for BBC Radio nan Gaidheal.
It charts the changes in christian music over the last 50 years, covering artists like Larry Norman, Delirious, Johnny Cash, David Crowder, 2ndChapter of Acts, Tree [...]
Gosh, how’s this for negativity? Even my Apple Mac is telling me that my worship is a waste of time…
