A Group Making Big Claims
A group called the Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light is based in Crewe, England, not far from us in Scotland. Their leader, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, says he is the Mahdi, an Islamic saviour. He claims to be the true Pope and a successor to Jesus and Muhammad. He says his group is the true religion and will build a divine state. These claims sound like the false messiahs Jesus warned about.
A “Hinky” Feeling About Human Plans
As born-again Christians, we trust in God’s sovereignty over His creation (Psalm 24:1, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it”). Yet, recent news about solar geoengineering, experiments to dim the sun to fight climate change, stirs an unease in me. From the UK’s £50 million plan to Bill Gates’ funding, these human interventions feel hinky, especially when tied to figures like Anthony Fauci and global vaccine efforts.
A Blaze That Shatters Lies
In 2025, we mark 500 years of faith that smashes through deception. On January 21, 1525, Conrad Grebel baptised George Blaurock in a Zurich hideout. No baby rituals, no fluff, just a man choosing Jesus, raw and true: “He who believes and is baptised will be saved” (Mark 16:16, NKJV). That spark lit the Torchbearers’ fire, the Anabaptist movement, and it’s thundering in my soul.
Is the Glasgow Orange Walk for God or King Billy?

A Troubling Spectacle
On April 26, 2025, I tuned into Pope Francis’ funeral, to check it out and see who was there. Instead, I felt a sickening unease. With 250,000 mourners in St. Peter’s Square, world leaders in attendance, and priests chanting in Latin, the event exalted a man called “Holy Father” above Christ.
A False Claim Exposed
On April 26, 2025, I watched 5 minutes of Pope Francis’ funeral, expecting reverence for God. Instead, 250,000 mourners honoured a man called “Holy Father” with rituals far from Scripture.
Scripture: “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”, Ephesians 6:10-11 (NKJV)
Growing up in the Free Church of Scotland, known as the “Wee Frees,” I was steeped in a faith that felt more like rules than relationship. Strict Sabbath-keeping, distrust of anything Catholic, and a legalistic lens shaped my early years in Scotland.
