🌍🙏🏼🇺🇦On Monday, 25th August, I was privileged to be in Kyiv for the National Prayer Breakfast of Ukraine. The event was held under the patronage of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and brought together 1,200 guests including clergy and religious leaders, international diplomats, government officials, military personnel, chaplains, volunteers and the families of the fallen. Throughout the three hour ceremony, countless scriptures were referenced in the prayers, particularly from the Psalms and Old Testament prophets. There were prayers by Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholic and Orthodox priests, Ukraine’s chief rabbi and a leader of the Crimean Tatar Muslim community. Needless to say, they have fundamental theological differences but on one thing they agreed: that at times like this, when faced with death, it is to God we turn or as one of the speakers put it: “In the trenches there are no atheists”.

A reminder that the British anti-Ukrainian, pro-Putin and pro-Trump zealots you will encounter on social media are massively unrepresentative of popular public opinion, regardless of Elon Musk's attempts to persuade you otherwise.
Replying to @YouGov
The British public has a very positive opinion of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and very negative opinions of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin Volodymyr Zelenskyy: +48 net score Donald Trump: -51 Vladimir Putin: -85 yougov.co.uk/politics/articl…

"The idea that someone who is facing death might not want to be a burden, whether due to illness or old age – as some arguments in favour of assisted dying might suggest – is anathema to West African tradition." Me for @Theosthinktank theosthinktank.co.uk/comment…

Assisted Dying is cheap. Love is expensive. Humans are invaluable—all of them. 1/4
The airbrushed picture of an attractive young woman cavorting in her pyjamas promoting the #leadbeaterbill should be replaced by a picture of Cyril Tooze. Terminally ill Mr Tooze was told he would wait 10 months for home care in Australia. He couldn't afford both rent and private homecare. So he was assisted to die in South Australia where Voluntary Assisted Dying is legal. This is the reality of #assisteddying. Not so much a choice but a desperate act when faced with dwindling options. Like suicide often is.

Lots of people anxious about the US election. Christians do not need to be. Presidents, empires, all come and go. God is still on His throne. All is well. And it ends well. Revelation 21:4 ‘there will no longer be…any mourning crying or pain.. the old order has passed away’

Esta mañana a las 7'25h recibiendo a amigos de la iglesia, los primeros que han entrado en Paiporta al salir el sol. Agradecido por poder ser familia en medio del desastre. Material para unas 5 familias, amigos y vecinos que no tienen familiares cerca.

BREAKING: Former Georgia Republican Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan has endorsed Kamala Harris for President. Even some from his own party are on the Kamala Harris bandwagon.

50 years ago today Ecuadorian missiologist Rene Padilla spoke at the first Lausanne Congress. You can read 'The Speech that Shook the World' here. It's incredibly prescient, prophetic, and profound, and resonates powerfully five decades on... lausanne.org/content/evangel…
