It's all about Jesus, family, church, cricket, trout, mountain(top) views. Basically in that order.

"Our churches tend to live on a starvation diet of personal affirmation. Let's risk a more generous tone of delight in one another"
Is this a particularly British trait?
Tonnes more wise counsel from @rayortlund that I wish I'd heard long ago.

If you were sick, poor, sexually damaged, or paralyzed by guilt and shame, Jesus would move toward you and tell you what nobody else would: you matter.

What if all churches became known for the same?

I was asked to share 3 truths for trainee pastors. What should they know about evangelism...
OK, here are three Rs for trainee vicars!
1) Receive your calling
As pastor you *are* evangelistic because pastoral care and evangelism are not so very different. Pastoral care is evangelising Christians, evangelism is pastoring non-Christians. For more:

The neglected ministry of encouragement!
Specific and sincere words of life to another image-bearing creature in this life-sucking world that is constantly beating us down—not to mention our own internal thought world with all its accusations and belittlings.
Let's start saying it and keep saying it, until we start doing it.

"There was night before Christmas."
A new poem, and a chance to read chapter 1 of my new book — check it out:

Gospel doctrine: If anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous
(1Jn2:1)
Gospel culture: *Little children*...if anyone sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous
2 words make the difference. No scolding for a start!

Interesting…🤔 Born in South London but apparently I was found naked in Africa as a primitive 😂 Had some letters in my time but this one up there!

I mostly feel like my life is an exercise in discovering through God’s providence & discipline just how much more committed God is to my freedom & liberation than I am.
Eavesdrop on @SamAllberry and @glenscrivener having the conversation that might otherwise have dropped off the public radar over the past months.
The highlight for me comes after about 50 mins, made all the brighter because of what's discussed before.
Tonight, @SamAllberry speaks to @glenscrivener about the health of the church. Watch the exclusive interview here: youtu.be/A5eUDNcvHPA

To my conservative evangelical brothers:
I can’t express to you how much it means when you acknowledge the abuse in our ranks.
I can’t express to you how much silence contributes to growing fear and distrust.
Please lead well on these matters.
So very much is at stake.

What a thought-provoking question to ask this year and thanks for pointing to Isaiah 32:2.
