Hey Twitter. I found this object in our church building. I can't work out what it is. Can you?
It has a vertical slot. It seems to be bespoke, for some church purpose. No-one around here can remember what it's for.
2 points for a correct answer.
1 point for an amusing one.
Where do discouragements come from? For a Christian:
☆ Not from the Father. He’s bound to us in covenant kindness
☆ Not from Christ. He won’t snuff out a smoking wick
☆ Not from the Spirit. His office is comforter
● Our own voices are the main source

I've just been checking out this podcast. It helps people read through the entire Bible in 2024, preferably in big chunks, with a weekly podcast to aid you. I may be a bit biased because it's devised by my brother-in-law. But I think it looks ace. https://t.co/JznqOuJWIa
Friday: 'Bible Through the British Museum' Tour.
That thing on the wall is Assyrian art. They commissioned it to boast about their great building projects, which used slaves.

For anyone who felt their Christmas was a bit meagre in some way: I came across this from Dickens's A Christmas Carol.
Contentment is of greater value than wealth.
Fascinating podcast on the mystery & history of my main man, Jesus Christ. Worth it just to hear 2 secular historians conclude, "When I look at the evidence for Jesus, I'm pretty impressed", and "So the simplest explanation is that he was the Son of God?"

Fancy a quirky Christmas gift? Sara and I designed these posters a few years ago. We have a few left from a once-only print run. We love hearing about the conversations they start. https://t.co/qRyRJkMI4J
10 years ago this week I had the privilege of launching a church plant in Putney that became the Boathouse Church. (Here's a pic of me looking particularly youthful & floppy-haired.) Yesterday I got to preach at their 10 yr anniversary and see hear what God has done. Full heart!
This is a joy to me. It's wonderful to see churches teeming with young people and serving the community. I'm proud of the team at St Paul's who made this happen. #LoveJesus#LovePeople#LoveHarringay
The wait is over. It’s finally here!
From the community listening project these last 4 yrs the 2nd most common answer for what Harringay needs was “more youth/community space”.
Overjoyed to finally say our tarmac car park is now transformed. Here's before, during & after!💫
