“But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.... If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.”
Revelation 2:4-5

Is Christ our first love, or is it some surrogate such as works and social justice?

A new study says up to 2,000 UK churches could close by 2030—especially in rural areas—as finances, attendance, and building challenges worsen.

Lord, no matter what happens to us, no matter our loss and the sufferings we go through, keep our vessel open to Your divine dispensing. Dispense Yourself into us little by little, day by day.

[Ligonier Connect @LigonierConnect]

Deuteronomy is one of the most-quoted Old Testament books in the New Testament. Yet, it can sometimes be overlooked in our study of God’s Word.

Take this course with W. Robert Godfrey to explore the value and relevance of this foundational book. https://t.co/BIkiOjCz1Y

[Lausanne Movement @lcwe]

What if the true measure of ministry isn’t size or success—but simple faithfulness to Jesus?

In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Daniel Im—author, pastor, and disciple-maker—shares his powerful journey from disillusionment in ministry to a renewed vision for the local church.

“God wants not merely individual pursuit of victory or spirituality, but a corporate, glorious church presented to Himself.”
—Watchman Nee

[Mission at First Pres Berkeley @BerkeleyMission]

Why would God Almighty, Master of all Creation, make man such an eternally unsatisfied and empty vessel?

Because He wants to satisfy & enter into us. @livingstream @LocalChurches

Pleased to join former @AfghanDreamers Girls Robotics Team captain @FlorencePouya & resettlement partners @RESCUEorg International Rescue Committee, @gatesfoundation grantee Oakland International High School (@LaurenMarkham), and 1951 Coffee Company, for this stimulating conversation on issues related to Afghan immigration & resettlement. The panel followed a special screening of @ParamountPics’ new award-winning motion picture #AfghanDreamersFilm sponsored by @RialtoCinemas & @FPCBerkeley @BerkeleyMission

Those of us working with refugees are faced with a task far beyond assisting with immigration status, employment & affordable housing; we must help our friends arrive at a sense of belonging & community—a “place” they can truly call “home”. Thank you @RialtoCinemas @FPCBerkeley

Iranian National Muay-Thai team’s women defied mandatory hijab at Asian Championship 2023. Authorities immediately threatened suspension, but this is a clear message from Iranian women to the Islamic regime’s clerics: we won’t back down. #WomanLifeFreedom

[Shirin Dehghan @shirinfdehghan]

Students at universities across Iran are being punished for standing up against draconian religious rules imposed by the Islamic regime in Iran and there is a twitter storm #نه in Farsi meaning NO in order to show solidarity. So I’ve joined in solidarity. #نه

Members of the @AfghanDreamers girls robotics team🇦🇫 have arrived safely in the U.S.🇺🇸!

Thank you to @TamimBinHamad @RoyaMahboob @Lolwah_Alkhater @MofaQatar_EN @QF @DCitizenfund for giving these national treasures safe refuge in Qatar and allowing them to continue on their educational journey in the U.S.

These vicars of freedom—with other brave Afghan women—are #Afghanistan’s hope, future, and soul in exile. When human rights return to Afghanistan, these engineers, educators, physicians and thought leaders will become the very pillars of her reconstruction. @FaruqiSomaya @AHaydarpour @ElhamMansoory @YasaminYasinza1 @Saghar1_1 @FlorencePouya @NahidRahimi05 @NoorzaiShabnam @asefa_amini @SAtaei8687 @SadafHamidi4 @NoorzaiShabnam @F1RSTglobal @DeanKamen @afghanevac #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
