Few men preach the Gospel. Most preach a mix of law and grace which by definition means a works salvation. The sermon shared above is Gospel unadulterated. How precious Christ is to sinners saved by grace and how thankful I am for men who obediently preached/preach Christ and Christ alone. Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Have we ever had a good, solid Archbishop?
The appointment surely has to be the ultimate poisoned chalice.

"Nothing new under the sun". I do think we forget that there has been a long time of Christian people debating the "right course" to travel.

John Waters:

“The few, who have no souls, seek to abolish the souls of the many out of jealousy, being unable to live with the idea that something so beautiful and so uncontainable could at the same time remain to them both vital and obscure. They insist on total control, to which the human soul represents the chief impediment.”

Defund apostate churches, and tithe to godly causes, this is the way to build a good and godly nation.

I have engaged in what i call "Direct tithing" I know it is frowned upon by some but what I do, along with loved ones is to pray that a person in need will become apparent. When they do we again pray as to whether they are the right people to offer a cash offering to. It doesn't have to be a lot but we usually work out what we would pay over each month then do that accordingly. If a situation arises where more may be required then we act accordingly.

I feel we need to be aware who the glory belongs too, so we do try to get the money to them as anon as we can. It is just an idea. I haven't done it for long just over the last 12 months or so.

Good night, all. Much talk among dear friends at present over whether we will survive. My priority isn’t surviving; none of us escapes death. My priority is being found faithful.

From one parent to others:
While I give everything I can for my children’s upbringing, welfare, and spiritual security, I know at the end of the day my love for them is a mere shadow, a little loan, of God’s love. If I care for them, my Father cares for them infinitely more. He has numbered their days as he has mine, and has destined them for glory or destruction from eternity past. I don’t worry about what they will have to face (though I labour to prepare them for it), because I know their Father whose kingdom is for the ‘little children’; who feeds birds and clothes grass; who commands me and my children not to worry under his watchful love. He has not failed me, for all my sin, and he will not fail them. He’s taught me not to fear suffering or store up earthly treasure, and the same God will be with my children when I no longer am.
Luke 12.

Alex,
Same here. In the words of Sufjan Stevens, “We’re all going to die”, the imponderables being only the timing & manner of it.
It’s how we live that matters more, imo.
I don’t expect to make it out of the far side in any case, but I’m “deeply irked” for my kids & our two grandsons, none of whom got to have a full life.
Almost no one bothered to stand up & fight, so we should anticipate the perpetrators wargamed response intensities ranging from the Full Mussolini to supine. I bet they cannot believe their luck.
Best wishes
Mike
(I’m rather more than irked)

I have wondered if the extreme vulnerability of “The West” since the late 50s hasn’t been directly due to loss of religious beliefs?
People know right & wrong. But I don’t think they can distinguish wrong from EVIL. For that, we need faith, and we’ve mostly lost it in the rush for material things.

Thank you Alex, and all who post here.
Thank you for my daily reminder that people of faith, logic and decency still exist here in the UK 🙏

Saul the persecutor became Paul the apostle. We must not underestimate God but pray & use opportunities to speak up against evil as He leads us.

2 Peter 3:9 God is not willing that any man should perish but come to Repentance.
God is not slack concerning His promise.
He is holding on for a reason that we will not know until Glory.
Keep praying for those elites who think that they have it all and want more, it’s not like there aren’t scriptures in the New covenant speaking of this type. For a long time I was angry at them and wanted them harm but was made to realise that ‘for God so loved THE WORLD’ - I include them now in my prayers for them to come to salvation.

I wrote this five years ago on the British co-option of the revolutionary Ukrainian government. The antiheroine of the piece is now a big spokeswoman for Zelensky and appears on British TV “news”. https://www.ukcolumn.org/article/why-sir-gerald-howarth-bed…
As I described in 2017:

“… one needs to manufacture a bogeyman in order to gain even the semblance of public traction for a new military force where one did not previously exist. Ukraine, like Syria, represents an ongoing conflagration on Europe's eastern periphery—both conflagrations stoked by the EU, the BBC and the [Obama] US Administration—that is an ideal foil for the rhetoric of ‘the need for Europe to do defence jointly’.”

The late, great Ian Crane joined Patrick Henningsen at the start of 2017 for a forecasting show and described, at 30:00, how the US deep state told the Arabs in 1973 to pretend to be the side that wanted to increase oil prices massively.

Kissinger pre-cooked this at the Stockholm Bilderberg meeting before issuing Sheikh Yamani with his orders. It was the last stage of linking the dollar to oil as the new backing after gold.
