One reason I emphasize as much as I do historical critical readings of scripture is not because they are the absolute end of the matter, but because they render null and void biblical literalism,a.k.a. biblicism. Once biblicistic readings of scripture 1/2

Quite an exchange a student had w/theologian, Karl Barth.
Student: “Sir, don’t you think God has revealed himself in other religions & not only Christianity?”
Barth: “No, God has not revealed himself in any religion, including Christianity. He has revealed himself in his Son.”

The news that our Prime Minister has been moved to intensive care deepens our compassion for all who are seriously ill and for those caring for them. I invite all people of faith to join me in praying for @BorisJohnson and his loved ones.

This kid is my new hero. Watch the whole thing - it just gets better. In the UK he wouldn’t be allowed near a cooker until he’s about 20. Kids are far brighter than we think.

It is with the deepest sadness and shock that I have to report that @JarridWilson went to be with the Lord last night.
At a time like this, there are just no words.
The Bible says, “There is a time to mourn.” This is certainly that time. Read more at

My husband has three rules of engagement when we go to church.
1. An alone person in our gathering is an emergency
2. Friends can wait
3. Introduce a newcomer to someone else
Let’s all be missionaries at church today!

‘I am a Christian’ Jürgen Klopp
Wonderful message he sent to fan called Dave (who had terminal cancer and was hoping to survive long enough to see Liverpool in the final) – at Kensington, London
Dave's wife @EvansSweeney wanted to share Jurgen Klopp's words to Dave before flying to Madrid today.
A mark of the man and the club he represents.

“We set forth our petitions before God, not in order to make known to him our needs and desires, but rather so that we ourselves may realize that in these things it is necessary to turn to God for help."

Reverend Ruth Scott was much loved amongst the Radio 2 family. Working with both Sir Terry Wogan and Chris Evans, her Pause for Thought reflections were enjoyed by millions of listeners to the Breakfast Show over the years. Our thoughts are with Ruth’s family at this sad time.

👮🏻| Don’t tell a young child that we will take them away if they are bad. We want them to run to us if they are scared, not be scared of us. Children should be taught from an early age if they feel like they’re in danger or need help they can approach an Officer for reassurance
