Breaking news from the UK (my homeland):

Church attendance has increased by 50% over the last six years! The rise has been particularly striking among 18-24yr-olds, among whom churchgoing has quadrupled from 4% to 16% since 2018!

I love the irony of an English Standard Version that has to be anglicised ("made English in form or character"). And I particularly love the irony of it being spelled in American ("anglicized").

Surprizing 😉

Kenyan runner Abel Mutai was just a few feet from the finish line, but became confused with the signage and stopped, thinking he had completed the race.

A Spanish runner, Ivan Fernandez, was right behind him and, realizing what was happening, started shouting at the Kenyan to continue running. Mutai didn't know Spanish and didn't understand. Realizing what was taking place, Fernandez pushed Mutai to victory.

A journalist asked Ivan, "Why did you do that?"

Ivan replied, "My dream is that someday we can have a kind of community life where we push and help each other to win."

The journalist insisted, "But why did you let the Kenyan win?"

Ivan replied, "I didn't let him win, he was going to win. The race was his."

The journalist insisted again, "But you could have won!"

Ivan looked at him and replied, "But what would be the merit of my victory? What would be the honor in that medal? What would my mother think of that?"

@colinmcgill I’m struck by the number of people reverting to fountain pen and journal paper these days - myself included!

We're excited to share the Glasgow Churches Research project which is a joint venture between St. Silas and Harper Church aimed at gaining an understanding of the size, scale and distribution of the ‘broadly evangelical’ church in Glasgow. https://t.co/oCt4sXcGFG

@wyliedpod @Reshma44736084 @thecsp And the learning moment was…? Observation skills, team work, collaboration, interdependence, remembering Picasso, and decorating the office!! 😂

@Reshma44736084 @wyliedpod @thecsp What was the exercise!?

@Melswayze Hold up! Don’t other species lick their young to keep them “clean”!? #justsayin 😎😂🤔

[Allan Smith McKinnon @BabaMdogo]

@michaelfrost6 Yup. 🙏🏻

You cannot build a church on consumers. They'll desert you at a moment's notice because they have no commitments beyond meeting their own needs. Jesus can take twelve disciples and build a movement that changes the world. He could never have done that with consumers.

@BlackIslePMD Utter gobeldegook!

@wyliedpod I guess when it comes to numbers even the nations are but a drop in a bucket! (Someone from a few years back said something like that!)

@_JohnStevens How much money is enough!? “Just a little more.” 🫣

Scotland remains a divided country - 52% to 48% ! A very narrow margin supporting the “progressive agenda”.
