He's Alive
Acts 25:17-19 NIV When they came here with me, I did not delay the case, but convened the court the next day and ordered the man (Paul) to be brought in. [18] When his accusers got up to speak, they did not charge him with any of the crimes I had expected. [19] Instead, they had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive. We all like Paul stand accused of the same "crime" of proclaiming that Jesus is Al

Lack of restraint
Proverbs 29:18 NKJV Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law. The appalling sight of people marching into a shop or supermarket, brazenly helping themselves to whatever takes their fancy and walking out, without being challenged. That is happening daily in our towns and cities. Theft is being overlooked. Yesterday, in Parliament, the Prime Minister ignored the challenge to open a national inquiry into the Grooming Gangs, c

Bee-ing what we're made to bee!
Psalm 113:1-9 NKJV Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD! [2] Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore! [3] From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD's name is to be praised. [4] The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.
