@stephenpauldray I’m not sure about this one. We are God’s creation, made for His glory. To consider oneself to be nothing seems to be a denial of what we are. I prefer what I think C.S.Lewis said: Humility is not thinking less of ourselves but thinking of ourselves less.

@VargasKevi23363 Have you watched Patch Adams - it’s a film starring Robin Williams which makes the same point

Oxford professor John Lennox on testing the reality of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ:

"Now, my final point is this. I'm a scientist of sorts, and people say to me, 'Come on. You can't believe this stuff.' Because in science and practical science you do experiments. You test your hypothesis. Christianity is not testable. Isn't it? Isn't it?

You see, the difference between the two last things I read were the difference between seeing something, those grave cloths, and working out an intellectual conclusion that something utterly remarkable has happened. That's not quite the same thing as meeting the risen Jesus. And you see, ladies and gentlemen, if it is true that Jesus rose from the dead, then He's still alive, and it's possible to meet Him.

Now, you can do an experiment, and it's this—this Jesus who claims to be risen tells us that if we're prepared to trust Him, repent of the mess we've made of our own lives, and the lives of other people, and we're prepared to receive Him as Lord and Controller of life as the risen Son of God, then He will give us forgiveness. Does the word forgiveness mean anything to you? He'll give us new life and a new power...

Now, ladies and gentlemen, this is the test...When you see people with narcotic or alcohol dependence, and they've no food to put on the table in front of their children, and you meet them then a year later, and something has happened. You say, 'What's happened to you?' and they say something like, 'Well, I met Jesus,' or 'I became a Christian,' or they'll put it different ways. When you see that again and again, you add two and two to get four.

I wouldn't sit here for a nanosecond if I didn't believe that not only is the resurrection of Jesus intellectually credible, but I believe it's existentially credible because the center part of my life and that of my wife and family is to walk with Him from day to day. Now, that may sound absolute jargon and mumbo-jumbo to you, but we're living in a universe where we discover that we are persons, and every analogy we know tells us that our origin cannot be sub-personal. It's supra-personal. And if we enjoy human friendship, what a magnificent thing it is if God makes a way where we can through faith in Christ become His sons and daughters and enjoy the biggest friendship and the most exciting friendship in the universe, and that is friendship with the risen Christ."

@stephenpauldray Was it the nails, O Savior,
That bound Thee to the tree?
Nay, ’twas Thine everlasting love,
Thy love for me, for me.

Remarkable speech from Pam Duncan-Glancy (Independent):

“There will be countless disabled people in our constituencies who haven’t had the choice to have a shower in weeks. People who can’t choose when they go to bed. Some who will already be in bed.

“People who can’t choose what to eat. People who can’t choose to go out of their house, because it isn’t accessible. People tonight who can’t choose the care or the healthcare they need, including at the end, because it simply isn’t available for them.

“And crucially, there will be disabled people whose struggle is so hard that they’ve given up hope, given up fighting, and will be considering tonight taking their own lives.

“I know this, because I have been all of these people I’ve described. They live in fear every single day, worrying about what new limit someone else will put on their lives, and what little power they will have to change it. They live every single day without choice at all…

“In a world where so many have little or no choice, we can’t risk making death the only choice they ever have.”

@JusBrierley How do you write poetry about faith without it sounding as though you are preaching?

@MonkEmma If veterans, who else deserve free transport? NHS staff? Police? Firefighters? All of whom face enormous stress and dangers in their work. I’m not denying the trauma and challenges that veterans face, but wonder where we draw the line.

[Stephen Paul Dray @stephenpauldray]

Cheap grace is preaching forgiveness without repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession, absolution without personal confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ.

Jesus’ mini-speech to ARC as imagined by Grok…

[Dafydd Job @DafyddJob]

@elonmusk America has no more right to interfere in British politics than China/Russia has of interfering in American politics. We are a sovereign country. Keep out

[Dafydd Job @DafyddJob]

Whilst a strong advocate of free speech, the right to say what we think also gives us the responsibility to speak wisely and constructively. @elonmusk should stay out of British politics as he obviously doesn’t understand the situation or culture here.

[Marcus Honeysett @marcushoneysett]

It's good to be reminded at the start of a new year that our worth and the purpose of our lives don't have to do with what we do, and are not defined by what we have

We are made in the image of God, loved by him and infinitely precious

Don't define yourself on the world's terms

[Dafydd Job @DafyddJob]

@marcushoneysett Mark Meynell @quaerentia is someone who’s got a lot to say about this

[Dafydd Job @DafyddJob]

@JCRyle Whilst understanding what is being said, I tend to cling to the thought that what I will have to show on that day will be what Christ did for me
