Those who took offence at the language heard at the #BAFTAS last night have completely misunderstood the message of the film “I Swear” about #tourettes syndrome. The #BBC and #BAFTA should not have apologised.
2/2 most, however hard they try and however great their self-belief, will never achieve their dreams.
What really matters is being secure in who you are, not what you achieve.
My security is in being a child of God.

Time and time again top athletes, entertainers and celebrities of all kind say “believe in your self and you can achieve whatever you want to” - this is simply untrue and cruel. They have achieved because they are the “best” who do have self-belief. 1/2

In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes. Judges 17:6 ESV

My #NeuroendocrineCancer was only discovered during treatment for a different #cancer.
Lord Jesus Christ,
light of the nations and glory of Israel:
make your home among us,
and present us pure and holy
to your heavenly Father,
your God, and our God.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day.
At 8pm today people will light candles to:
remember the darkness of the past and bring light to the future and to stand together against prejudice and hatred today.
Here is our candle.

🤣. When I was in rural ministry with several churches I insisted on same time, same place!
Great to be gathered at Rugby Baptist to celebrate the ministries of Revive Rugby - move of God amongst the churches of Rugby.

Before I post or comment I’m going to try to: * Be kind * Speak truth with love * Be slow to anger * Build up, not tear down * Disagree with grace * Seek peace, not outrage * Represent Christ well * When in doubt, pause and maybe not post at all
I find so many social media posts intemperate, rude and unkind. It has made me reflect on how I should post as a Christian.

Nothing can stand against the promise God has made in your life.

It’s important that people in the UK hear the voice of reasonable Americans like my friend David and do not get taken in by all the lies, “noise” and gaslighting emanating from Trump and his entourage.

God sees you
God knows you
God calls you
The last year has seen a surge in the sale of bibles, especially to young people. This parallels the uptake in church attendance. In our fractured world people are seeking spiritual truth and finding it in Jesus.
