What about the government restrictions that are imposed on us which are blatantly wrong, e.g. covid restrictions and now energy restrictions (EV's, electricity bills), do we just accept them like good little sheep?

Thank you for your words of wisdom today dear friend and Father. They are right up my (psychology training) street. Consistency is the key for positive parenting and caring and undoubtedly Christianity is based on the firm foundations of the Lord. Hebrews 13:8, which says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”. He is dependable and, like loving parents, always there for us to turn to whatever obstacles we encounter.

Sometimes living in despair can be helped by looking back at the positive things in life, where you are, and what you have got, "cup half full" attitude goes a long way!

Thank you once again for your instruction, insight and encouragement for to think what God requires from us not always what we want for us. I must say in a choice of being served or in serving, I get a lot more satisfaction out of the latter, especially in the family situation but also in the context of the church.

the underlying theme is how out of touch royalty and elites are with actual life and reality, more than equally valid today!

Trouble is with saviours is they are never there when you need them most!, once every 2k years to show your face doesn't really cut it!

You are right, the memories and actions of our great hero's who made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve our culture and freedoms are slowly being erased and forgotten, the question is why?, maybe what our education system teaches our kids has something to do with it.

Thank you so much for your timely reminder of this special day and the Ryhope War Memorial celebrating the lives of those who gave their all for right and freedom. I agree completely about people forgetting the lessons of the past and the current wars in the Middle East, Ukraine and elsewhere constantly bring those words ‘we will remember them’ to mind in remembering all those men and women who have lost their lives in the fight for truth, freedom and justice.

Thank you for an informative and interesting account of Texel and your thoughts around the Light of Jesus which forever shines as a beacon of light showing us the way in an often murky world.

Good points, the Church should lead with wisdom, care and compassion, NOT pander to DEI and political narratives as all they seem to do today!

And how do you recognize the helping "hand of god"?

Thank you so much for todays sermon which was enjoyable, interesting and thought provoking as usual. And of course that wonderful hymn, And Can It Be! Your words are a good way of drawing attention to the fact that believing in Jesus might changes non-Christian but doesn’t take away their personality. And, of course, we still need leaders and followers and all sorts inbetween to be successful as a community. It’s just that we’ve got something special which binds us together as in the hymn Bind Us Together Lord.

Isn't all this a little bit too socialist?, you can be far more altruistic with some personal wealth, and the truth is it is true evil that tries to divest a person of their wealth to make someone poor

Thank you Father David 😇

Thanku David,may we persevere in that which we feel the Lord is asking us to do. Sometimes we need to wait upon the Lords time to help us find our way and to do his will. For he is with us in all things and all situations. He will never leave us and never forsake us. For this is his promise to us. Thanks be to God

Thank you so much for your apposite and timely comments which certainly strike a chord with me.

Love Lord of the Dance.

This was interesting While we share most of the lectionary in the US we do not have the Acts passage but it looks like we share Genesis 12:1-9 and Matthew 9:9-13 and 18-26. Based on Jesus' interactions with tax collector and his friends, my pastor came to many of the same conclusions. The Gospel carries universal good news.

Thank you Father David from one of your Cruise Critic followers as recommended by Graham and Pauline. I am a quarter of the world away in an American Methodist-Presbyterian church but we both follow the same lectionary so most weeks I get exposed to 2 complementary views on the same text. Again, Thank You

By you like to complicate things don't you, I think it's better the other way, see you in a bit xxx
