For the early church, theology and mysticism were not divorced. A theologian was not one who knew about God, but one who knew God.

Nasser Al-Khelaifi has authorised €2.5billion in signings since Qatar Sports Investments acquired Paris Saint-Germain 15 years ago.

PSG broke the world transfer record for Neymar.

They signed the greatest player of all-time in Lionel Messi.

And together with the Paris-born Kylian Mbappe, they were expected not only to pass the ball to one another but the Ballon d’Or too.

And yet, as Al-Khelaifi told CBS earlier this month, “my best decision” was not buying one of these players. It was hiring Luis Enrique.

🥺💙 A full-circle moment for this young Manchester City fan:

• Back in 2016, a 7-year-old Manchester City fan named Braydon found himself sharing a taxi with Pep Guardiola on the Spaniard's first days at the club

• During the ride, Braydon looked at Pep and confidently said: "You're going to win everything with City!"

• Pep's response was simple: "We'll try."

• 10 years later, Braydon is now 17 and working as a journalist. At Pep's farewell, he got one last photo with the manager who defined an era.

From Pep's first day to his last, Braydon's prediction proved to be spot on: Premier League titles. FA Cups. Champions League, and many more! 🏆

@boss_nathan @FabrizioRomano @obinna_u How his performance is not been projected on every news platform feels unfair. He's been one of the most consistent players of recent seasons.

I watched Alex Ekubo's movies. Many of us did.

The smile.
The energy.
The confidence on screen.
The man looked like health walking.

40 years old and gone.

I'm not writing this as a nutritionist right now.
I'm writing this as someone sitting with the same shock you're sitting with.

The same confusion.
The same quiet fear that creeps in when someone who looked that alive is suddenly not here.

Cancer does not arrive screaming.

It whispers.

For months. Sometimes years.

A tiredness you explain away.
Weight loss you didn't work for.
A fullness in the belly that wasn't there before.
A dull ache under the right rib that comes and goes.
Skin that turns slightly yellow but you blame the lighting.
Appetite that disappears and you call it stress.

And you tell yourself, it's malaria.
It's village people.
It's spiritual.
It will pass.

It doesn't pass.

The liver is the most silent organ in your body.

It doesn't have pain receptors the way your skin does.

It can be damaged, heavily damaged, and say nothing.

It absorbs the abuse.
The wheat.
The sugar.
The late-night eating.
The seed oil.
The alcohol.
The medication.

Year after year. And it says nothing.

Fatty liver has no symptoms. You've heard me say this before.

But today it hits different.

Because fatty liver doesn't always stay fatty liver.

Sometimes the inflammation doesn't stop.

The cells keep dividing.
The damage keeps compounding. And sometimes, not always, but sometimes, what started as fat on the liver becomes something that no scan, no transplant, and no amount of money can undo.

And the liver is not where it ends.
That's what people don't understand.

Cancer in the liver doesn't stay in the liver. It travels.

To the lungs.
The bones.
The lymph nodes.
The brain.

By the time the liver finally screams loud enough for you to listen, it may already be somewhere else. Growing. Quietly. In places you can't touch or feel.

The liver was just the starting point. The cancer doesn't ask for permission before it moves.

By the time it screams, the bill is already running. The surgery. The chemo. The transplant. The hospital bed that becomes your address. The family WhatsApp group that shifts from jokes to fundraising links overnight.

And somewhere in that room, someone will ask: could this have been caught earlier?

The answer is almost always yes.

But nobody was paying attention.

I need to say this clearly.

Not every cancer comes from the plate.

Some cancers are genetic.
Some are random.
Some hit people who did everything right and still lost.

I do not know what Alex Ekubo ate.
I do not know his medical history.
I am not diagnosing a man I never met.

But I know this.

A body that is inflamed, overworked, underfed on real nutrients, and never given a break, that body has fewer defences. Against everything. Including the things we don't see coming.

You cannot control everything. But you can control what you put on your plate. And a body that is nourished, rested, and clean has a better chance of catching what's wrong early, and a stronger foundation to fight it.

This is not a post about blame.

This is a post about paying attention.

Check your body.
Get screened.
Ask for a liver function test.
Ask for an ultrasound.

Stop waiting for pain to be the messenger, because pain is cancer's last language. Not its first.

The liver whispers. It has been whispering to some of you reading this right now.

Rest well, Alex. You gave us joy. The screen won't be the same.

And to everyone still here, take care of the body you have. It is the only one you'll get.

Abraham’s “Promised Land” was not ultimately Israel (which was but a type pointing to the True); Hebrews 11: “For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.”
This is the Kingdom. It is the Church. Not “replacement” of the type, but it’s fulfillment and authentic telos. And the Church is not just a small microcosm of humanity. The Bride is *all* of humanity, seen eschatalogically - the “enchurchment” of mankind. “Now the body of Christ, as I have often said, is the whole of humanity” (St. Gregory of Nyssa). The city, the New Jerusalem, that comes down from above and originates in God, is defined by the Incarnate Last Adam who “came down from heaven” in order to raise us back to our very origin. It contrasts Babel/Babylon, whose foundations are built from the ground up, self-asserting, scratching heavenward with violent and religious machinations.
“Christ has become the body of the whole of humanity, that, through the body that he was kind enough to assume, the whole of humanity might be hidden in him, and he, by means of his unseen existence, could be reproduced in all ... we were exalted because he humiliated himself ... He, who is God, dwelt in the flesh, and we have been lifted up again from the flesh to God” (St. Hilary of Poitiers).

Nigerians have no idea how expensive healthcare really is.
Surgeon's in the USA and Europe are operating with million dollar equipment, using robots, augmented reality and many more both in diagnostic, treatment and surgery.
Their neurosurgeons use advanced microscopes that paint tumor in fluorescent light, differentiating it from normal brain tissue.
Skull base Surgeons operate with neuronavigation that maps out where pathology is in 3d with 0.1mm accuracy.
They use ultrasonic aspirator that's more expensive than your entire theater set-up in Nigeria.
Their open heart surgeons operate on beating heart by using stabilisers.
In China, surgeons in provinces 100s of kilometres away performs complex procedure in another facility in real time.
But in Nigeria, all the praise belongs to our fellow robin hood doctors.
They'll do opthalmic and Neurosurgery with ordinary eye or small loupes.
Do advancements flaps with sheer force of will.
Do spine surgery without C-arm. What's c-arm?
Package patient that needs CABG with double antiplatelet and ogbonge statins.
Not that any of this is wrong.
It's simply necessary in our circumstance.
If our chiefs wait for proper equipment to be made available, half of Nigeria will die.
Healthcare as a whole is ridiculously expensive and there's just no way around it.
The good news is that many of our patients survive and it's all because of our robin hoods.
I pray we keep having these robin hood doctors.
Because these new age of doctors no really send like that.
And that raises the question, how long can we keep practicing at this level of 1923 medicine?

[John Crowder ☩ @TheNewMystics]

The return of Christ and the end of the world … are the Preterists right?

There is truth in how Preterists interpret the Olivet Discourse of Matthew 24: Jesus is not prophesying an end time rapture and 21st century destruction of the world, but the Roman (not divine) destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD (“this generation will not pass away until all these things take place”). Nevertheless, the advent of new Pentecostal Preterists (Welton, Eberle, etc.), while noble in their resistance against “Left Behind” dispensationalism, are unwittingly selling another abstract schtick that is Christologically anemic. Many run their entire theological vision around 70 AD, rather than around the Person and finished work of Christ. There is a much more sublime Christological hermeneutic that Preterism cannot contain. Jesus Christ is perfect eschatology - all things are summed up in Him, not a Roman sword.
Objectively, the world ended on Good Friday and the new creation appeared on Easter morning. Preterism (full or partial) is not the only viable option against dispensationalism. Many Preterists in fact ignore the Book of Revelation as a now outdated prediction of 70 AD. But Revelation is a Gospel book - an “unveiling” of Jesus Christ - that explores His cosmic victory in dramatic Biblical metaphor (the first verse tells us this). It must be read Christologically, not in futurism guesswork or historical timelines.
Moreover, Preterism is still conditioned by the wrath-god of penal substitutionary atonement. Whatever bloodlust this “god” still had loaded in the chamber after killing its own Son (because obviously even that wasn’t enough to calm it’s nerves), it took out on the Jews in 70 AD. For Preterists, the Jewish Wars of the first century were the actual transition to the New Covenant. This is where their departure from the Gospel occurs. St. Paul and the writer of Hebrews decisively tell us the Law and Old Covenant were nailed to the cross (where Jesus was killed by our wrath, not the Father’s). Seventy AD was not the end of the Old Covenant. The Person and work of Christ are central.
What Preterism and Dispensationalism actually share is an inherent belief in a god whose anger needed appeasing. The early church, however, saw a God whose anger was restorative and “for us” … against sin itself because sin destroyed us whom He loves.
If we see a “different” more retributive Jesus returning (dispensationalism), it is no wonder we’ll invent accretions (Preterism) to deny the church’s Creed to say Jesus already returned back yonder (He took his fury out on the Jews, but not us!).
The Creed is the plumbline of Christian orthodoxy, no matter our denomination. The Creed tells us He is coming again “in glory” to judge the living and the dead. God’s glory (doxa) is His “goodness.” God is *only* good. His judgments therefore are not retributive, but rather restorative. Christ’s return (whatever it looks like outside our naïve, puerile notions of literalistic white horses in the sky or nuclear missiles) will in fact be a return that sets all things right. Wipe away every tear. Future judgment is nothing less than an outworking of the cross where “now has come the judgment of the world,” and humanity’s corruption died together with Him. Jesus is the center. The cross is the center. Not one chapter in God’s dealing with humanity, followed by utter destruction. The only destruction Jesus brings is to the disease and corruption of sin itself. He only acts according to His nature as displayed on the tree.
Jurgen Moltmann says, “The purpose of Jesus' judgment is not retaliation in all directions. Its aim is to set up the kingdom of peace, founded on the righteousness and justice which overcomes all enmity. The law which this judge applies, we might say, is a law whose purpose is rehabilitation."

[John Crowder ☩ @TheNewMystics]

Every child of every nation state is born into a socio-historical narrative that their own people group is superior: ethically, culturally, intellectually or otherwise. Our own atrocities are minimized or justified, while “others’” are highlighted or exaggerated. It is immensely difficult to unlearn innate propaganda which feeds the roots of our identity.
Jesus offers a critique of “the world” in toto - leveling the playing field - preferring no citizenship over another, but introducing a citizenship from above: reintroducing man to an utterly transcendent identity (the only one which authentically defines of all of humanity). His sword of judgment is unsheathed not against classes, nationalities or unfavored segments of mankind. Rather it severs us from the line of evil that runs through each and every human heart. Christ is against no person, but against the evil that corrupts all mankind. He is for every person, and for the healing of all nations. He enables us to see ourselves truly and to recognize the divine image in others.
