Satan is the Accuser. His work is to turn your eyes in on yourself and despair.
The Spirit is the Comforter. His work is to turn your eyes to Jesus, the rest for our souls.

The numbers don’t lie, and according to new research by Bible Society and YouGov the numbers are up, from 8% of adults in 2018 to 12% in 2024.

That means for every two people in England and Wales who went to church, back in 2018, there are now three.

That 50% growth figure is the overall average. Young adults in particular are attending church more than they have in a long time. Compared to 2018, four times as many under-25s attend church. And the percentage of young men in church has shot up from 4% to 21% far above the average.

As the old certainties crumble, the search for meaning intensifies. The numbers don’t lie.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

The fear: If I obey God, I will not be happy. This is the same lie that Satan told in the garden.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Whatever the Lord’s will for each of us in 2024 who follow Jesus, it will exceed our natural strengths, skills, talents, levels of experience, areas of expertise, intellectual acumen and worldly wisdom. The beautiful way Jesus set this faith thing up is that we can’t serve Jesus without Jesus. I pray this for all of us in 2024: more of Jesus.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

Over the course of my life there were times when I generously gave & God blessed me.

Then there were times when I didn’t & God still blessed me.

Generosity is not about controlling God’s hand. It’s about opening ours with the understanding that we can’t dictate God’s grace.

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

The same bible that tells us to "rejoice always" has a book called Lamentations. We don’t have to choose one from the other.

Good, healthy Christian faith is non-dualistic, able to hold multiple tensions together.

[Diocese of Guildford @CofEGuildford]

In just under a year, @lheadparish has grown its congregation by over 100 members, helped by a successful post-Christmas Alpha course and an intentional focus on investing in under-18s.

Christian preaching is not merely explaining the text. The preacher has a greater responsibility. God shares knowledge of himself in order that we might be affected. Just as all theology should be doxological, so all preaching should foster sincere worship.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

“Football can get super intense. My faith allows me to know there’s a deeper purpose as to why I’m in the position I’m in.”

Preachers, we are not sent to whiten tombs, but to open them.

[Jon Tyson @JonTyson]

Christ doesn't need any more hermits.

[Michael Reeves @mike_reeves]

Read the Bible as if it’s all about you and it will be dark and confusing. Read the Bible knowing it’s about Jesus and it’s light and cheering and wonderful.
