The Arrogance of the Moral

Two Ways News ·

2026/04/06

Dear friends,Christians in Western society have had a large say in public morality. When appointed the Dean at our cathedral, I was told by several people that my role was to be the moral conscience of society. I thought I was supposed to preach the gospel, but what is the relationship of the gospel to public morality and of the church to the rest of society? 1 Corinthians 5 raises these issues for us; I hope you enjoy our discussion.Yours,PhillipFreely available, supported by generosity.If you

The Arrogance of the Immoral

Two Ways News ·

2026/03/30

Dear friends,Because of sin, immorality is universal. Sometimes it is so blatant that everybody can see it. But what happens if everybody can see it except for the church? In 1 Corinthians 5, Paul is dealing not only with immorality, but also with arrogance.Yours,PhillipFreely available, supported by generosity.If you enjoy Two Ways News, why not lend us a hand?

True Judgements

Two Ways News ·

2026/03/23

Dear friends,Just as Western society is confused over the subject of identity, so we are confused over the issue of judgementalism. The modern push is to be a non-judgemental, inclusive society, but the reality is one of high condemnation and exclusion of people whose views or lifestyle differ from those in power.Christians believe in the judgement of God, but what do these judgements involve? And what are the differences between discernment and condemnation? I hope you enjoy our consideration of 1

Dear friends,We do appreciate comments and feedback, and even questions from our many subscribers. Sadly, we haven’t got the time or resources to be able to answer each question; however, two of the comments that came in to us on the Acts 17 passage we thought would be very helpful to air in this episode of Two Ways News, before we look at the two wisdoms contrasted in 1 Corinthians chapter 2.Yours,PhillipFreely available, supported by generosity.If you enjoy Two Ways News, why not lend us a hand

Boasting in the Cross

Two Ways News ·

2026/02/23

Dear friends,Is pride a virtue or a vice? Is it right or even wise to boast of oneself? Traditionally, modesty has long been commended and pride decried. But today, we encourage the young to be proud of themselves, and we hear celebrities of all kinds proclaiming pride in themselves and their achievements. What place, then, does pride have in the Christian life? Should we be proud to be Christians?The ancient world, as with the modern, places great emphasis on learning, education and wisdom. The

The One Church Divided

Two Ways News ·

2026/02/16

Dear friends,Church division dishonours our Lord and creates great pain amongst his people. Sadly, it is all too frequent in our experience. But what is the nature of church unity, and what level of priority should we give to it? Clarity of thought and expression is very important when painful disagreements are being addressed; this is particularly true when we discuss the nature of unity and the church.In Corinth was the disunited church of God. This is the issue that Paul discusses in his first

Bondi and Antisemitism

Two Ways News ·

2026/02/02

Dear friends,Before we start our 2026 Two Ways News series on 1 Corinthians, we need to have an important discussion on Bondi and antisemitism. This is something that neither of us imagined would happen. Not all our listeners will agree with our views, but we hope the thinking and discussion is helpful grist to the mill.Yours,PhillipFreely available, supported by generosity.If you enjoy Two Ways News, why not lend us a hand?

God is the Judge of the World

Two Ways News ·

2026/01/26

Dear friends,The climax of Paul’s great Athenian sermon is the call of God for all people to repent. But there are some strange elements in this call. One important element is its timing. Another is in the judgement “by a man”. Let’s listen afresh to Paul’s great gospel statement.Yours,PhillipFreely available, supported by generosity.If you enjoy Two Ways News, why not lend us a hand?

God is the Father of the Nations

Two Ways News ·

2026/01/19

Dear friends,Fathers are so important in life, even in this anti-patriarchal age. For fatherhood is derived from God the Father. He is the provider and protector of us all, who knows our needs before we even ask. He is not far from us, and he is open to our prayers.This is an important point in Paul’s logic as he attacks the inconsistency and incoherence of Athenian idolatry.Yours,PhillipFreely available, supported by generosity.If you enjoy Two Ways News, why not lend us a hand?

God is the Ruler of the Nations

Two Ways News ·

2026/01/12

Dear friends,As we start off another year, we are still conscious of how troubled our world is. Wars and rumours of wars continue to fill our news media. When will mankind ever come to peace? … not until the Lord returns! It may look as if God has lost control of the world as nations war against each other, but that is a failure to understand God’s purpose in creating and appointing the nations. Paul, in his speech in Athens, speaks of God’s ongoing rule of the world through his rule of the

Dear friends,Our second episode of our summer series on Paul’s evangelism in Athens points to the enormously important doctrine of God’s sufficiency and our dependence.

Feasting at Christmas

Two Ways News ·

2025/12/22

Dear friends,There are many Christmas traditions that I happily do not practise, from sentimental Christmas songs to reindeer, trees, and Santa Claus. However, I would never forgo the glory of eating a great feast at Christmas time, for eating food together is the God-given expression of fellowship, and Christian fellowship is derived from God sending his Son into the world to save sinners. Read on to see how Peter and I remember our Christmas festivities and have come to understand the importance

Dear friends,We come to the last of our series in the opening chapters of Genesis. We have certainly enjoyed rethinking the great themes that these chapters contain and hope that you have similarly enjoyed our discussions. As we’re coming towards the end of the year, we are thinking about next year’s programmes. We would love to hear of any part of the Bible you would want us to work through, or any particular issues you would like us to address. Simply drop your suggestions to

The Birth of Multiculturalism

Two Ways News ·

2025/11/24

Dear friends,The Australian government glories in the development of multiculturalism. However, Australian society is now straining to maintain social harmony. Consequently, the government is trying to regulate freedom of speech, freedom of association, and freedom of religion. For while migration can enrich a country, the concept of a nation celebrating and encouraging many cultures is a recipe for failure. In the Bible, the creation of multiculturalism was God’s judgement at the Tower of Babel. In
