People with the most to teach live like they have the most to learn — and Steve loved learning. He was the most curious person I’ve ever met, which made him the best teacher I’ve ever known. Happy birthday, my friend.

I don't use the phrase "Sovereignty of God". I'd much rather use the "Availability of God".
I don't believe God is controlling all things but I do believe God is present in all things.

In 2022, an age of atheism & the suppression of faith, perhaps the largest TV audience in history went to an unafraid statement of Christian belief. The Queen’s gift.

God invites us into His work. But ultimately it is His kingdom, His church, His world – and only His son who can save us.

How to have a disagreement that opens minds instead of closing them:
How can you possibly believe that?
→ How did you arrive at that view?
That's ridiculous!
→ I'm surprised to hear you say that. Tell me more
You're wrong!
→ What would lead you to rethink that?

Each one of us is dust, and to dust we will return.
But never underestimate what the God of love can do with dust.

What are you being led by in your life right now? Is it fear? Is it self-doubt? Passion? Love? Inspiration?

Resilience does not feel the necessity to boast about its strength or to shout about its toughness, more often than not it is simply the quiet voice that whispers to itself 'I will try again tomorrow’.

In England there are currently 835 Coronavirus patients in hospital down from 17000, with no sign of any increase.
70 patients are in mechanical ventilation beds, it was nearly 3000.
Up to now these new cases aren't translating into more hospitalisations. That's good news.

138 reported fatalities today in comparison to 155 155 171 236 289 326 on previous Tuesdays.
398 recorded new cases, after a little uptick in the 7 day average it's really encouraging to see that drop again.
The second lowest daily increase since March. Progress.
Stephen Hackney retweeted
11 reported fatalities today, that is the lowest number we have seen since the start of this pandemic.
530 new cases reported.
At the peak, 744 & 559 fatalities were reported on Mondays. We're not out of the woods yet, but mercifully our situation has drastically improved.

Just installed some gorgeous paintings by local artist Tracey Letts at the Art Space in Wollaton library. Tracey’s work is influenced by dance, culture and Nottingham landscapes.
Exhibition launches this Saturday 10am-12noon.

The Mayor of London @SadiqKhan came to @NorthMidNHS to learn more about how @Oasis_UK youth workers, embedded in A&E, steer young people away from violence. And to announce that he is investing more in other hospital teams as a result.
Stephen Hackney retweeted
When the church focuses on what we believe (orthodoxy), it produces theologians.
When the church focuses on how we live (orthopraxis), it produces saints.
We need both.
But our greatest challenge today isn't right thinking... it's right living.
