I’m encouraged to see this kind of prophetic critique of the current White House administration.

[Kris Vallotton @kvministries]

Leader or Terrorist

You only have as much influence in people’s life as they have value for you. Anytime you are trying to have more influence in someone’s life than they have value for you; you, will be manipulating them.

Value is favor, and favor is influence, and influence is the power to change someone’s mind. Consequently, favor is the social currency of society; the drawbridge to trust. Trust is the foundation upon which every healthy relationship is built.

This is the ecosystem of great leadership! But what some people call leadership is actually drivership; forcing your will on another through fear, violence or manipulation.

If the only reason people listen to you is because they fear you; you are not a leader; you are a terrorist.

@MrBrendanCox I’ll re-read it then. Thank you for the response.

@lancewallnau For we do not market the word of God for profit like so many. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God. - 2Corinthians 2:17

@RupertLowe10 I think it’s Bengali. Have you been to Bengal? Or India in general or Bangladesh? Lots of signs in English there, thankfully for us mono-lingual Brits.

.@SF_England have the most amazingly passive agressive chatbots (parading as humans too). And of course absolutely no help whatsoever.

I guess there's a reason it says, "We can no longer answer direct messages" in the bio. 😤

@BBCNews That’s one massive chicken!

@trussliz When was the last time the far right used a remote control banner to troll someone as their MO of choice? If they did I think we’d see the same reaction 😊

@maitlis She’s absolutely barking isn’t she?

I’d presumed Kwasi and Nadine were going to be part of the Gogglebox segment #Channel4

@Diogenes1 @AgnesChambre @estwebber More like Jordan Pickford sticking a tenner on Slovenia.

@LanceForman I’m not sure you can call 19% a majority.

Ed Balls

@RHalligan I remember playing that one.

[Matthew Ling @mling1970]

@RHalligan Majesty!

@danjohnsonhymns @ScottishPower Had a similar experience with them a few years ago. Worst customer experience I’ve ever had from any company. Took about 3 years to resolve(ish).

[Matthew Ling @mling1970]

@AdamMerrivale That’s absolutely horrendous and reprehensible. Apart from the second to last sentence - that’s a relief.

[Matthew Ling @mling1970]

@AdamMerrivale No one likes a quitter.

[Matthew Ling @mling1970]

@AdamMerrivale I have opinions on all these things.
