Everyone should be reading more of the Bavincks. Try John Bolt, The J.H. Bavinck Reader. His understanding of evangelism and missions is important today. I’ve personally benefited from Dan Strange’s reflections and interpretations of J.H. Bavinck. buff.ly/2L4lkAV

"In the case of one of the Gospels, that of John, I conclude, very unfashionably, that an eyewitness wrote it." World-class NT scholar Richard Bauckham argues that the *latest dated* Gospel was written by an eyewitness. I keep coming back to this book... amazon.com/Jesus-Eyewitnesse…

Today, I'm doing an interview for a church in the UK. They're starting a sermon series based on my book & excitingly for me, they're serving the town where my grandparents live! It's also the town where John Bunyan was imprisoned. I'm pumped to partner on gospel work in Bedford!

This Newsnight clip made me more informed about why the UK govt is pursuing this strategy on Coronavirus, and more confident it may not be such a bad idea. Worth watching either way. youtube.com/watch?v=blkDulsg…

This is a great point, and I'd go further to say, those sending out/ordaining people need training for recognising NPD, so that less churches have toxic cultures.

This IMHO is one of the reasons properly following Matthew 18 is so important in preventing narcissists from becoming influential leaders. It's how people respond to a smaller matter being brought to them, that leads to how they will respond to bigger injustices later...
The small deviations from justice we deceive ourselves into finding acceptable will lead to greater disease and the voice of God disobeyed will lead to the voice of God unheard. That is a very dangerous place for a soul to live.

Basically, go ahead and fight with me about politics. But maybe have a think about what it means to speak out loud on the radio about your darkest moments, and think before you jump all over me. xitter.gq/issybryonyh/status/988…
Have decided I’m not well enough atm to use my work twitter account very much: will just post stuff without reading. Twitter has become deeply unkind. This morning I spoke on the radio about being suicidal, something I know upsets the people who love me.

Now we know for sure the country has gone mad. I support the fight for equality 100%. But this is PC gone mad. Has he told the WI they must allow men to become members too? This type of nonsesnse is doing more harm than good. I honestly dont know where society is going. xitter.gq/thetimes/status/981789…

Thank you for speaking up Charlie. I'm so sorry you have to face this. I hope you know that there are so many people who are very grateful you are alive and value all that you are doing to change society for the better. xitter.gq/fien_charlie/status/96…
