@bcarswell I love the Joy your Dad radiates when he speaks about Jesus. It’s something that I remember so strongly from my teenage years and I was reminded of it in the conversation I had with him in Keswick a couple of years ago

@sharrond62 Yes!

@KatarinaHill2 It has become a form of conversion therapy

Grief is like The Lion Hunt:

Can’t go over it,
Can’t go under it,
Can’t go round it.
Have to go through it.

A family member of mine is a nurse in Canada.

They performed several assisted dying procedures at the care home they worked at, before refusing to continue.

In one case, the family of a mentally disabled man decided they wanted him to be euthanised.

He didn’t want to die.

But my family member was legally forced to end his life.

They held his hand while he told them “I’m hungry” and “I’m thirsty”.

That poor man didn’t understand what was happening to him as he was pumped full of medication that would end his life, and my family member wept for the soul that was being lost unnecessarily.

He wasn’t terminally ill.
He wasn’t particularly old.
He wasn’t dying.

He didn’t want to die.
But he didn’t have a choice.

Because his life was deemed dispensable by his family, and the Government gave them the power to end his life regardless of his needs or wishes.

And when my family member told their workplace that they couldn’t continue performing these procedures — that their conscience wouldn’t allow it — they were told that it was their “legal duty” as a nurse.

They still refused.

But not everyone will have the moral fibre or bravery of my family member.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and this is exactly what the Assisted Dying Bill opens the door to.

It starts with “choice” and “dignity”.

But suicide isn’t only done “when the patient wants it”. And the countries where it is already legalised have shown us the grim reality.

In the Netherlands, 40% of euthanasia deaths occur without patient consent. In Canada, it has been offered to Paralympians who only asked for a mobility aid.

If it can happen there; it will happen here.

People 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 be killed against their will.

@OliLondonTV But the women who were cheated will never have their moment of glory and so those who approved this farce should also lose their positions

@racheljwelcher @BethMooreLPM @drewdyck From one Rachel to another: the days are long and the years are short. Look after yourself any which way you can and savour each exhausting moment

@Mofoman360 @jk_rowling Yes!

Happy Pentecost Sunday. Today we celebrate the birth of the church. By no means perfect, but serving communities everywhere & making Jesus known. Praying for a fresh outpouring of the Spirit & for a new move of God throughout the UK. Happy birthday church!

@AntiWokeMemes It’s blasphemy!

@CalebWoodbridge @racheljwelcher Thanks Caleb. I tend to avoid extracting texts, instead looking at the difference between old and new covenants. Old is (slightly simplistically) based on male and Israelite. New is multi national and female inclusive, as expressed by the normative book of Romans and elsewhere

@racheljwelcher From a UK perspective the FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches) the body to whom most of such churches belong, they allow variance on Baptism, Gifts, Eschatology, Church Governance but not on women. Member churches have to be complementarian (voted 2012)
