'Mortification [of indwelling sin] from a self-strength, carried on by ways of self-invention, to the end of a self-righteousness, is the soul and substance of all false religion in the world' John Owen #NewYearResolutions #HandleWithCare

[Jonathan Thomas @welshjthomas]

If you are up early tomorrow, I'll be sharing the Weekend Word on BBC Radio Wales at about 7:20am.
I'll be talking about starva, rollercoasters, Desmond Tutu and Jesus.

We tried to live-stream the church Bible study tonight but only managed to stream 30 minutes of Silent Night on repeat. #EpicFail #TheMysteriesOfTechnology #Sorry #ActuallyWeEnjoyedItMore #ShouldBeAbleToDoThisByNow

'If all regenerate church members . . . were to intercede daily for the most obvious spiritual concerns visible in their homes and workplaces, their local churches, the nations and the world. . . The transformation which would result would be incalculable' R. Lovelace #inspiring

[Ian Parry @IanParry60]

According to Gerhardus Vos eschatology precedes soteriology. 'The eschatological is an older strand in revelation than the soteric' Biblical Theology p140. If that is true hope is not only the fruit of the gospel but built in to creation itself. #HopeToSpareAndShare

[Ian Parry @IanParry60]

'The life of believers is totally sustained and guided by hope . . . it is not a static possession but living, active and strong. It reaches out and binds believers to the heavenly inheritance. It also enables them to live a holy life' Bavinck 4.49-50 #hopetospareandsharein2022

@JDSayersMish Could be!

[Ian Parry @IanParry60]

This work is so strategic. Countries with a strong Christian student movement often seem to have stronger churches.

It seems that George Whitefield was born on this day in 1717. I'm going to get down Dallimore's biography and start 2022 blown away by the grace and power of God.

@jderekrees Good parenting. Happy Christmas.

[Grangetown Baptist Church @GrangetownC]

Happy Christmas! Tomorrow at 10.30am we'll be live in the building (socially distanced and COVID secure) and also livestreaming on Facebook, Youtube and our website. O come let us adore him.

[Ian Parry @IanParry60]

Absolutely. Our household gathers to watch this every Christmas. No one misses. No three line whip required.

The Muppets Christmas Carol is the perfect Christmas film you can’t convince me otherwise

How does caring about society relate to the gospel? 'The covenant of grace is sustained by the cosmic covenant of nature. . . as Logos, by various ways and means, Christ lays the groundwork for his own work of grace' Bavinck 4.33 (Been reading your guy @ChristopherBe51!)

[Ian Parry @IanParry60]

'God produces both creation and new creation by his Word and Spirit. By his speech he calls all things into being out of nothing; by the word of his almighty power he again raises up the fallen world' Bavinck 4.33. #HaveHopeForYesterdaysSermons
