Psalm 22:27-28 🌍 // Jesus is still on the throne of the universe, even if British politics are in tumult. His society, the Church, unites us far more than anything else ever could. His Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, which cannot be shaken or destroyed by any referendum. His throne has outlasted every government to date; they come and go and rise and fall, but his reign will not pass away. His heart is still broken for the poor, the needy and the oppressed, and he will one day wipe away every tear. His mission to proclaim the Gospel of Salvation to the ends of the earth will happen whether the UK is part of the EU or not. All peoples, nations, tribes and languages will be united in worshipping him. In other words: Jesus is Lord, it's all going to be okay. #EUreferendum #GreatCommission #KeepCalmAndMakeDisciples

There is nothing that can replace the absence of someone dear to us, and one should not even attempt to do so. One must simply hold out and endure it. At first that sounds very hard, but at the same time it is also a great comfort. For to the extent the emptiness truly remains unfilled one remains connected to the other person through it. It is wrong to say that God fills the emptiness. God in no way fills it but much more leaves it precisely unfilled and thus helps us preserve -- even in pain -- the authentic relationship. Further more, the more beautiful and full the remembrances, the more difficult the separation. But gratitude transforms the torment of memory into silent joy. One bears what was lovely in the past not as a thorn but as a precious gift deep within, a hidden treasure of which one can always be certain.

Charles H. Spurgeon, Morning and Evening, December 25 Morning || "Immanuel, God with us in our nature, in our sorrows, in our lifework, in our punishment, in our grave, and now with us, or rather us with Him, in resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendour."

How little people know who think that holiness is dull. When one meets the real thing… it is irresistible.

C.S. Lewis (via graceandgracey)

Students from all nations come to study at Universities in Great Britain. What an opportunity for the gospel!

This is genuinely one of the most important sermons I’ve heard - it was at a training week for evangelism on university campus. Dick Dowsett is such a gentle and jolly giant of the student mission world (he’s a big cuddly grandpa), but hear his tone of lament and hope in this sermon.

It highlighted the way that British students (sometime unknowingly) act in racism and prejudice towards international students by simply not caring. It’s a massive part of student culture. But Jesus came for ‘them that aren’t like us’. God is bringing the nations to the UK - more Chinese students study in the UK that all EU countries do combined (excluding British students). That’s where God is at work.

Please, if you’re at college or university, listen to this sermon or at least download it for a time when you can.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Psalm 51:7-12
