Because of Christ in Us there should be millions of “mini-Christs” loving like Him and doing His works. How has the church missed the mark on this so widely? Watch the full video on Substack or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Hear me as I pray, O LORD. Be merciful and answer me! My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.” (Psalm 27:7–8, NLT) I feel this call in my own heart today. I pray you may feel that stirring too.

No matter what you are going though, what pain you are feeling, there is help for you. Your pain is felt in your body (biological), it is felt in your mind (psychological) it is felt in your social world, and it is felt in your spirit. No wonder healing is needed in all four areas.

10 reasons your church would reject the Apostle Paul, and why that says more about us than him: Violent past✔️ Jailed many times✔️ Chronically ill✔️ Single (no First Lady)✔️ Refuses a salary✔️ Won’t commit long-term✔️ Be honest: would YOUR church shortlist him? YES or NO?

Your problem is not all in your head. But that doesn't mean it reflects reality. The alerts created by our bodies are merely like warning lights on the dashboard of a car. They tell us something needs our attention, but they don't give us absolute truth.

Spoiler Free Reflections on our Global Captivation ly become obsessed with The Traitors, a TV show about suspicion, deception, betrayal, the "murder" of the faithful, and the unmasking of traitors. But beneath the entertainment lies something far deeper: a mirror to the human heart.

The Traitors Castle

Those who are spared public disgrace, and whose worst deviations are known only to God and themselves, have great reason to give thanks. At times God shows us how much he can do for us. At other times He shows us how little we can do for ourselves as we cannot stand without him.

Many people seem to respond and even claim to be Christians at first, but later fall away. The seed might spring up and look green for a while. But if there is no depth in the heart for it to take root, it will surely wither away. www.patheos.com/blogs/adrian...

Newton: The Blade - How Grace Enters The Human Heart

Because the message of the Gospel can appeal strongly to human emotion, it is sadly no surprise that many people seem to respond and even claim to be Christians at first, but later fall away.  The see...

“I fear thousands of people deceive themselves and assume they are Christians, even although they do not meet the test of the Bible. But there are many genuine believers who due to doubts and Satan’s temptations, form negative conclusions even when the Bible speaks peace to them” John Newton

Untrue. In other areas palliative care has been cut and people put under pressure to end their lives. Do not vote for murder by the state of the most vulnerable.

I hope MPs support the new #AssistedDyingBill. I understand calls for better palliative care instead - the same case was made last time issue was debated 10 years ago & still not happened. Passing this bill will likely spur greater investment in it, as it has elsewhere @dignityindying.bsky.social

The gospel sits at the literal crux of the paradox between justice and mercy, vengeance and forgiveness, righteous anger and gracious love. Jesus death and resurrection is the only way to bridge that chasm and experience wholeness and restoration.
