Sometimes the things we want to do the least in ministry end up having the greatest impact. To obey no matter what we feel tends to bring rewards of the Kingdom.

There’s undoubtedly a difference between who we are & who we’d like to be. Don’t let the gap be filled by anxiety & fear, but God given peace, Spirit inspired longings & Christ focused faith. He’s not finished with you yet.

@AlecDepledge Reflecting on what I truly valued in Paul Dando - he was capable of being deeply spiritually profound and yet able to show true humanity. I loved him for his love for God, the Church, family, friends, all sports and red wine!! RIP dear friend.

Watching the opening of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. How is it that a nation, denounced for outrageous cruelty and injustice, can produce such sublime beauty?

BBC’s Laura K et al salivating on ‘Newscast’ tonight. Loving a crisis! Media stoked mayhem.

Although Jesus provides peace & rest, being a believer isn’t a casual thing leading to spiritual indifference & idleness. Dullness & general sluggishness aren’t obvious marks of a disciple of Christ. He gives life!

@helen_a15 Praying that ‘all will be well!’ X

True Christian fellowship, openness, honesty, vulnerability are all necessary to bring you to maturity. We were never meant to do Christianity alone. Get close to other believers. Don’t simply attend the same building.

Paul Dando update:

Pearl tells us that the hospital wil try a slow ‘waking up’ process probably later today. He is rested. ‘Arise Paul, in Jesus Name!’ 🙏🙏

[chris Bowater @ChrisBowater]

Pearl Dando called me yesterday to say that Paul has had a major cardiac arrest. He is in ICU and urgently needs prayer. 🙏

Just remember, your GP is actually on your side and did not have a lockdown party

The PM apart I’d expect to see the honourable resignations of numerous politicians and civil servants who were complicit in these disgraceful, law breaking, cavortings! Not a proud time to be a Tory!

Your structures should not become strictures!

Do not flatter yourselves: if you go to places of worship merely to look about you or to hear music, you are not worshipping God.

Thin end of the wedge shifting national security rules for the sake of massaging celebrity culture.

[chris Bowater @ChrisBowater]

Not sure I can condone elitism from cult celebrities contravening the law of the common man!
