Praise the God of mercy! bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq39mr30… The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill was opposed by 270 votes to 286 in the Commons on Friday afternoon, following a five-hour debate.

MPs vote against fresh move to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales - follow live

The bill would have allowed adults with fewer than six months to live to apply to be given help to end their own life, subject to certain safeguards.

Chilling. We cannot let this dangerous assisted suicide Bill pass. Please pray today as MPs debate and vote on the legislation.

"Has it occurred to you that 'Lord – ouch!' can be a great cry of faith?" This article by Fran Kirby of @affinitytalks for @EvangelicalsNow is absolutely terrific. I highly recommend giving it a read: e-n.org.uk/comment/how-do-i-…

How do I rest when the pastures aren't so 'green'?

After struggling with insomnia for all my adult life, I can tell you with great confidence that there are many different reasons why someone may struggle to sleep. Rest, with which sleep overlaps so...

Whether it’s through sharing the Gospel, advocating for human rights, offering community and accompaniment, or supporting the most vulnerable, Christian organisations continue to make a positive contribution to our society. And we’ve asked @ChtyCommission to publicly reaffirm that. @affinitytalks @careorguk @CatholicMedical @CConcern @christianlegal @christianorguk @UK_CMF @EAUKnews @LovewiseUK @PremierNewsDesk

New from Graham Nicholls of @affinitytalks e-n.org.uk/comment/political…

Political turbulence... How do we respond?

Earlier this morning, Sir Keir Starmer gave his emotional resignation speech. At any time, this is big news. A few hours later, a newly elected member of parliament, Andy Burnham, was sworn in....

"We have noticed recently that some complementarians have a tendency to downplay their position."👫 @affinitytalks @ETS_Edinburgh ✍️Fran Kirby & @gpnicholls encourage us to celebrate Biblical complementarian theology: e-n.org.uk/comment/stop-apol…

Stop apologising for being a complementarian!

"Egalitarian" and "complementarian" are broad categories. However, they do sum up a primary distinction between those who believe that leading and preaching in the church can be a role for either men...

People making brief statement about Sam Albery do some heavy lifting, giving views on exactly what happened, current state of his heart, how we're supposed to respond, what was wrong or right about his theology etc. I think quiet, humble reflection and prayer more appropriate.

Gotta love Christian ministry. 1 day talking on national news about the installation of the archbishop of Canterbury and next day singing "If I go climbing" with some preschoolers and talking resurrection. What a privilege we have to serve the Lord in so many different contexts

I think the best response to this update is to pray earnestly for a revival that's so noisy that we won't need a YouGov survey to tell us it's happening

Many of you have followed the news around 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 report over the past year. Today, we want to share some disappointing news. YouGov has informed us that the 2024 survey sample our report was based on was faulty. While this error does not mean all the findings were wrong, it does mean we can't stand behind them on the basis of this survey alone. We’re deeply disappointed that YouGov has only recently identified this issue, especially after repeated assurances about the data’s reliability. We know many of you may feel discouraged too. YouGov has taken full responsibility and issued an apology. You can read our full statement here 👇 cstu.io/4c3047

Some great comments from @gpnicholls on the enthronement of the new archbishop with @GBNEWS Frankly, church without the Gospel is boring! But more importantly, church without the Gospel is not church!

‘Churches do a fantastic job, youth work, food banks, preaching the gospel... Why not give them a little help like other groups?’ Pastor Graham Nicholls says churches deserve taxpayer support, arguing they’re central to our communities and part of Britain’s heritage.
