It's time for our next Sunday PLUS episode - on Sunday 2nd July, 2022.

We've been working our way through the book of Proverbs, in the Old Testament and, with a little more help from Dave the Dog, Jo and and Andy B will look at what this amazing book - and this chapter in particular - can teach us. So far we have folks from the UK and Nigeria, so you'd be very welcome to join in, no matter where, or when, you are in the world.

Also, we're not fussy on ages either - family is a big word, and so you'll be most welcome, whatever your age, whether you're married or whether you have children or not. This is suitable for all ages and experiences of Jesus and we're as global a family as God is!

We Livestream Sunday PLUS simultaneously on Facebook and YouTube, so you can choose which platform works best for you, but we always aim to begin promptly at 5pm (UK) so don't miss us!

Andy B, Jo Jo and Dave the Dog

Butter, Salt, Blending and Standing Out! Andy B 2 Minute Video

vimeo.com/723363901

Bilbo Baggins is something of a hero, if you know anything of Lords of the Rings. And there is a line he utters which is wonderfully descriptive!

He mentions about how tired he has become, and he likens his tiredness to ‘butter spread over too much bread’. To be fair to Bilbo, he had long gone past his natural oldest age, but that description paints a great picture of how life can, sometimes, feel.

The bible tells us that, as Christians, we should stand out – like salt does in a meal. It describes how when salt loses it’s saltiness it is useless and is only good for throwing out & being trampled upon.

This isn’t good if you think that, as Christians, we’re supposed to live quiet lives that never offend anyone. Actually, if everyone you know is happy with you, you’re probably getting it wrong by not living a faithful enough life! [READ MORE]

A Brief Pause with Andy B, 23.06.2022

You can fight change, or you can embrace it, but that doesn’t mean surrendering what you believe.

You can’t change what is. You can, however, change what will be!

Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in it's undiluted sternness.
Oswald Chambers

There is going to be a big push for Central Bank Digital Currencies(CBDC’s) across the world in the near future. When the push comes, resist it as hard as you can, because it's basically the end of humanity as a free species if it's widely adopted. Opt for cash or cryptocurrencies. Imagine your bank offering to exchange your money to CBDC’s along with some perks…shoot that down immediately. Not just, “No”, but, “Hell no!”. Vote out any politician who suggests otherwise.

32 seconds faster on my cycle today.

Since I pretty much ran out of water, I'll take that as a win for me 😊

SO nearly broke my 40 minute barrier...............

What is strange with this new transgender law is that all mainstream media is being totally silent about it and about how it was accepted yesterday in the parliament. One would think they would be jumping with joy and shouting out loud about it! But no, just silence. The only one talking about it is Christian parliament members, forwarding a list of the members who voted against it. 106 voted for it, 46 against, 1 voted empty and 46 was absent. I believe they don't want people to know what is happening behind the scenes.

@sarikorpi

After this law, will it still be possible in Finland to talk about the family freely without having problems with the law? I ask you because in Italy they would like to pass a law accusing all those who affirm the biblical family model of homophobia. I hope they will not pass such a law.

Wishing doesn’t change what is.
It just robs us of our ability to enjoy what is.

Andy B

It’s good to check in with God during the day, so take a brief pause every hour or so and reflect on this quote/image.

This is a sad day for Finland. 😢 A transgender law was accepted today which allows men/female couples to have children as being the childs only parents. Also the definition of "mother" and "father" is going to change. A biological woman giving birth to a child can now be the father of the child. So crazy!!

If Italy is going through a punishment of God, so will be the case for Finland too. We are today stepping aside from God's blessings and shelter with this law that violates His standards and creation. 🥶😭 God have mercy on us!! 🙏

S04E085, Play the cards you’re dealt! Andy B 2 Minute Video

vimeo.com/722960533

When you’re playing cards you can wish a better hand, as much as you like. But, at some point, you have to accept the cards you’ve been dealt.

And it is much the same in life. We can wish for a better car, a better job, a better house, a better retirement plan, better health. But wishing just pushes us deeper into a place of being sad and depressed.

Wishing doesn’t change what is. It just robs us of our ability to enjoy what is.

Rather than wishing away our lives, we need to accept what is. We don’t accept it as something that can never change, but we do need to begin to change from where we are at. [READ MORE]

@davereimer @faith20 @Berrybunchfamily May God provide for all His children. He sees and cares. May He also use you to bring hope to those in darkness living around you. May He give you peace as you trust in Him.

They say that in the last six months it has rained only 25 days. Normally in autumn and winter in Northern Italy it rains very often and even rivers break through.
