The Four Horsemen of the #4Apocalypse ride hard (Anger, Addiction, Alienation, Assassination). But God rides a donkey—and the donkey wins. #DonkeyWins

This week, we bid farewell to my wife’s Uncle, Arthur Mason. He was quiet, but was a solid family man, and a supporter of God’s mission work, in his latter working years and in retirement.

It's important to pursue healing so that you don't interpret everyone through your hurts.

On the current exodus from American churches & a better way for Jesus’ followers to live. “We see young evangelicals walking away from evangelicalism not because they do not believe… but because they believe the church itself does not believe what the church teaches” @drmoore

[Curtis Chang @curtischangRB]

Thanks ⁦@NewYorker⁩ for telling the ⁦@AfterParty2024⁩ story. Indeed, “Their energies have shifted almost entirely to the political realm” where “evangelical leaders…realized that political influence could bolster their movement.” https://t.co/BBXYZIXWHP

With just 3 days until the Fourth Lausanne Congress, today we pray for the safe travel of all attending the Congress. As participants, speakers, team members, and leaders from around the world make their way to the Congress, we ask God for safe journeys and smooth travel.

Pray that flights, connections, and transportation will go smoothly without delays or complications.

Join the global church in 24/7 prayer for congress participants and their travels now: https://t.co/5D6s5dmIUT

Appreciate the changing role of pastoral leadership in our times. What will it take to help ordinary everyday followers of Jesus generously and humbly live out the good news in their contexts? @fitchest shares some meaty practices.

I joined the Lausanne Movement out of a deep desire to listen to the collective wisdom & practice of Christ-following brothers & sisters from around the world + collaborate in God’s mission together in a spirit of humility, love & mutuality. #lausanne50th

Inviting individuals and churches to live as centres of reconciliation will always be raw and real in facing pain points within the church and then learning to walk it out in the wider community. @AllReconciled

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Christian churches are not as a rule, model communities of good behavior.

They are, rather, [to be] places where human misbehavior is brought out in the open, faced, and dealt with.

It's hard to know quite what to say to this 😢

One thing that people have spoken of everywhere we went is the toll this war is beginning to take on the people of Ukraine in PTSD and other mental health conditions.

We’re only just beginning to grasp the likely scale of it – and how long-lasting the effects may be.

While it was wonderful to see people in Britain rallying with support and hospitality for Ukrainians in the first phase of this war, we must now recognise that we need to be in this for the long haul, that’s one of the messages I will take away with me.

The whole pattern of life and support is changing from immediate crisis to long-term help.

This is not likely to stop soon.

Almost two years have passed since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. I have come here to stand with our Ukrainian sisters and brothers; to pray with and for them, to learn from them and to say loud and clear that, amid all that is going on in other places, the world will not forget Ukraine.

The work of #HowardThurman beckons us all to make the world better. On the other side of healing, with an incarnate, present Jesus, we find the ability to bring good news.

The work of Christmas.
Thank you Howard Thurman.🔥
