Fulfilled Prophecy
In this video, Richard looks at and compares the two main approaches that have been made to the intrepretation of the Book of Revelation. Firstly there is the historicist perspective that sees the prophectic fulfilment in events that have already occurred, and this was largely adopted from the time of the Reformation. Secondly there is the futurist perspective that sees the prophecies as relating to the final years of the end times, and this is the more widely adopted approach today. Richard maintains an open mind to the two ideas and also makes reference to the possibility of dual fulfilment.

Jesus on Judgement
In this video, Richard introduces an article in which he has listed the various references made to judgement by Jesus in the four Gospels. The point is emphasised that speaking about judgement does not go against the idea of God's love. Rather, very much to the contrary, it is because of God's great love for all, that it is not His will that anyone should face the eternal judgement that awaits those who reject Him to the end. We need to be speaking out that warning.

Animal Suffering
In this video, Richard looks at the question of how creation has suffered as a result of the entry of sin into the world, but then looks to the hope that creation will itself be redeemed at the very end. He goes on however to say on a more sobering note, that even though creation may be redeemed, there will be no redemption for those people who have rejected God's way of salvation, thus giving us an ever increasing urgency to evangelise.

How did Jesus handle miracles?

It is pointed out that Jesus's miracles are broadly divided into two categories - (1) to show compassion, and (2) as a visible demonstration of the revelation of God.

Do we have the ingredients for a second Reformation?
After the start of the Reformation in 1518, the Church experienced a massive return back to Biblical principles and faith. In this video, Richard talks about the rapid increase of evidence and knowledge in modern times, with respect to both miracles and creation science. Could we be on the verge of something of another Reformation, with a great return to Biblical roots?
