Doing lots of media today about new A o Canterbury. Praying for this church which has amazing reach. Sad they have appointed someone who doesn't seem to follow bible's teaching on the gospel, beginning of life, sexual ethics, or indeed men and women. Praying for faithful C of E friends processing.

People can qualify for Assisted Suicide if Doctors presume capacity – 51% certainty is ok, they have learning difficulties or a mental illness are depressed or suicidal, Feel they are “a burden” to others, families need not know until after the death... does this not sound inhumane and immoral?

Most people hope to go to heaven when they die but few take the trouble to consider if they would enjoy being there. Heaven is essentially a holy place. J C Ryle

Brothers, We Are Not Political Pundits | Clearly Reformed When pastors decide to become more overtly political it hardly ever ends up as a credit to their insight and carefulness.

I am similarly boggled.

"Pastors are not called [or equipped] to comment on everything, It boggles my mind to see ministry friends spending their time, their energy, and their authority by offering hot takes on everything under the sun

Profound thought from one of the Valley of Vision prayers today:

I am never so much mine as when I am his,
or so much lost to myself until lost in him;
then I find my true manhood.

Fantastic that
@jdvance1.bsky.social Rory Stewart spat has got people talking about Christian ethics at root of Western civilisation. Granted most of it rather predictable due to political allegiances, including Christians, but still we're talking about what God's word says. It's a start.

A once in a decade opportunity to say we do not want to make it lawful to kill. As if it needed saying. To say to the ones we love I will take care of you, I will love you, I will not expect you to get out of the way.

The pain is real, but the decision is right - Social Issues - Affinity This article was first published in our recent Social Issues Bulletin – Issue 57 which is available to download here. Dying with faith and dignity A couple of years ago, I witnessed my mother’s death....

My suffering father-in-law lying emaciated on a hospital bed at home with shallow breaths still possessed all the dignity inherent in being made in the image of God.
Our value is not about what we can do but about who we are.

YouTube video by TalkTV “He ABANDONED The Teaching Of The Bible” Justin Welby ‘Allowed Church To Be Woke’ Says Pastor

14 media interviews about Welby resignation. Desperately sad for survivors who were treated terribly.Inevitable he had to resign for his personal/collective responsibility. Sad to say he also should have resigned for publicly contradicting the Bible/canons.Pray for revival.
