A QLD town has 100 people. Its church has 120 connected members. The pastor's take: they just got out of the way and let Jesus do the work.

@BethMooreLPM In 1 Tim 1:11 and 1 Tim 6:15 Paul refers to 'blessed God' using the word makarios meaning, yes, blessed, but also happy. So maybe he was writing in the first of those references... 'the gospel concerning the glory of the happy God...'

[Tom Wright @profntwright]

Perhaps the sharpest contrast is that the "works of the flesh" are all looking inward: they are all "about me." Sexual immorality uses another person to gratify one's own desires. Idolatry and sorcery are attempts to manipulate the world into the shape I would like it to be. Hostility, anger, and party spirit are all about me and my friends squaring off against some other group. Drunkenness enables me to sink into a private world, and though the wild parties may give an appearance of "togetherness," they are hollow at the core, a glossy parody of real friendship. By contrast, most of the "fruit of the Spirit" is explicitly outward facing: love, obviously, then great-heartedness, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness. Not only do these require other people if they are to be practiced (as we saw, Christian virtue differs at this point from the lonely Aristotelian kind), they are specifically looking out into the wider world and community. They are, in the technical language, exocentric: they orient the person toward others. The three others, "joy," "peace," and "self-control," would probably be seen by Paul as likewise corporate. Joy can no doubt be private, but it longs to be shared and is thereby multiplied. The inner harmony implied by "peace" is not, for Paul, something that can collapse into private self-satisfaction; it manifests itself in the genuinely like-minded fellowship of which he speaks so often, as for instance in Philippians 2:1-5. "God has called you in peace," he says of marital harmony (1 Cor 7:15). And, as for self-control–well, it is one thing to keep one's passions and moods on a tight leash when alone, but it is quite another to restrain them when other people around are acting in ways that provoke the sleeping dragon.

This Easter, I invite you to look at Jesus, consider what he said and did, and ask for yourself what I believe is the most important question you will ever answer: Did he really leave behind an empty tomb? And if he did, what does that mean for you?

This video was made possible and in collaboration with my friends at @ChildlikeMedia.

@GrayConnolly @clairlemon You only need to read Australian literary fiction for the past 10 years (and even some genre fiction) to understand what views are rewarded and those that are unpublished.

He led the attack on Pearl Harbor but he died a Christian Missionary.

On December 7, 1941, Captain Mitsuo Fuchida flew the lead plane against Pearl Harbor, shouting the famous code "Tora! Tora! Tora!" He hated America.

But after the war, he met a former American POW (Jacob DeShazer) who had returned to Japan not to punish them, but to preach the Gospel.

Shocked by this forgiveness, Fuchida bought a Bible. He converted to Christianity in 1950.

The man who started the Pacific War spent the rest of his life touring the U.S. and Japan, preaching:

"I was a follower of the sword. Now I am a follower of the Cross."

Being in residential care seems to reduce your access to specialist palliative care in the last year off life - 21% compared to 49% for home care/respite. Hopefully this is because rescuer staff are delivering some pall care directly. @aihw https://t.co/jbP2Yqh7rF #palliativecare

Ppl with dementia need better consideration in Support at Home end-of-life pathway. @Pall_Care_Aus says 'restrictive eligibility criteria... based on life expectancy rather than need... may inhibit access [when] life expectancy is less predictable, such as people with dementia.'

Australians aged 65 and older represented 46% of Possibly Preventable Hospitalisations and 51% of related costs in 2023–24, according to @aihw data released today. That's about half of 788,000 PPH costing $7.7b. So solving delayed discharge is not just about how to get ...

“At night, we pray and wish each other a good night. If we see ourselves alive in the morning we say, ‘Thank you, Jesus.’” #NigerianChristians

[Christianity Today @CTmagazine]

A Nigerian pastor is decrying the government’s denial that militants are targeting Christians.

He is posting videos online “so the world will not deny or forget the scale of the killings” in what he calls an “ongoing Christian genocide.”

[Faraz Pervaiz @FarazPervaiz3]

Nigeria: Her Christian husband and two children, aged 3 years and 10 months, were slaughtered by Islamists right in front of her.

She and her only surviving child, aged 7, were left for dead, and her hand was chopped off.

The Persecuted Church in Nigeria needs all of us.
