@JohnLewisRetail - like shopping with you because of your reputation but am not getting good service. We bought a faulty TV, your repairers didn't repair, left and didn't contact us, your customer services behaved oddly and hung up and your webiste provides no way of complaining

A thread. What has an incurable (currently), degenerative and progressive brain disease taught me as a follower of Christ? I’ll shall try to list them.

1) In Parkinson’s we are “on” or “off”. This is when the meds are working or they have run out. I take them 3 hourly.

The deepest sense in which "God cannot be mocked" is the literal one. You simply cannot plumb a deeper depth than God crucified. Everything since has been laughably tame and woefully out of date.

An argument against incorporating the European Convention of Human rights into domestic law in 1998 was that our law already provided adequate protection. If that is correct and we left the ECHR, Mr F would then be railing against our domestic law. Another Farage-Mirage...

Nigel Farage, "Why don't we have a referendum on whether we should leave the ECHR"

Good idea or bad?

When ‘Bible Christians’ criticise the world in a manner that contradicts the mode of speech urged in Scripture (generosity, grace, respect, gentleness, blessing, etc), don’t they forfeit the mantle ‘Bible Christians’, just as much as would the gracious heretic? #Truth + #Grace

Having spoken a few times on the subject of Toxic Masculinity it was good to put together a podcast on the subject with my brilliant colleague Adam Curtis

I am very glad to hear the problem with driving tests is now in the news @BBCr4today . I have 3 daughters who are learners and it has been exasperating!

Brilliant day with @simon_a_edwards @naydawson @vicaronthemag and Anna Price speaking on evangelism at the Everyday Evangelism conference @StMarysMAI
So many encouraged in evangelism by their excellent talks. Praying for fruit...

@JusBrierley Aha! We downloaded three today and have been enjoying them. Keep up the good work @JusBrierley

"I do wonder what kind of God you worship" - written in an email from sub postmaster Tim McCormack to Paula Vennells.
A reminder of the responsibility Christians have as ambassadors for Christ.
But also a reminder that all Christians are sinners who worship a gracious God
