God of the universe showed up … [and said] I love you just the way you are but I'm not going to leave you that way. youtube.com/watch?v=cQS4MhfF…

This is the first time in history that the story of Yeshua has been Number One in the Sunday Times Bestseller List! Proudest thing I’ve ever done. Because it is a story that affects us all. Our futures. Our hopes and confidences and the way we live and approach both adventure and life. Have you read it yet? What did you feel? #greateststoryevertoldbook #numberone

Is the Bible still relevant in a world like this? 🌍 In a world of climate crisis, tech overload and constant change, the Bible can seem ancient and out of touch. 💡 But what if the Bible’s story is still the best framework we have? A story of creation, brokenness, hope and redemption. 📜 The Bible isn’t just an 'old book' — it’s the world’s bestseller for a reason. Its pages are full of real questions we’re still asking. 🕊️ The Book of Acts shows how faith shaped a community. A community that faced political chaos, social upheaval… sound familiar? ✝️ The story of Jesus isn’t stuck in the past. It’s the hinge of history — and it still changes lives today. 🌟 Revelation doesn’t just describe the end of the world. It shows hope beyond the chaos — a world made new. 🔍 Maybe the real question isn’t whether the Bible is relevant. It’s whether we’re willing to let it shape how we live. 📚 Want to see how this 'ancient book' can shape your modern life? Check out 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – it's free! 👇 cstu.io/08c257

It seems odd that God would command rest. Like commanding ice cream or beach days. But the human condition is to hurry through life, rebelling against limitations. So in our dysfunction and addiction, God has to command something that is deeply life giving—Sabbath rest (Comer)

I feel physically sick at Trump’s Gaza clip. I just can’t comprehend how a human being could be so vile. Can I ask EVERYONE TO PLEASE REPOST THIS CLIP as a counter narrative. It’s essential we tell the truth about this horror show. Let your repost finger do the talking. 🎥 TikTok & X - @seenpalestine

Millions at breaking point as “shockingly low incomes” leave them hungry and without the basics capuk.org/news-and-blog/mill…

NEW report - Over 11 million people – that’s 1 in every 5 of us – is living on a deficit budget, meaning our household income, whether from wages or benefits, isn’t enough to cover the cost of the basic essentials needed to survive. Find out more: capuk.org/deficit-budgets.

I’m not one for complaining but I am gutted! I spent 27 years in the Army and today I was going to vote in my local elections. I was sadly turned away at the door as my Veteran ID was not allowed as formal ID. I will be fighting for this “special ID” to be “more” formal🇬🇧

Nice one @PeterboroughCC, thanks for replacing the vandalised plastic sign with this lovely wooden one. I’m really impressed this got sorted.

J core team member, Will Pearce spent yesterday alongside representatives from @CAPuk and @PublicIssues as they convened a panel on ending UK poverty (with Shadow Faith Minister @SarahOwenMP contributing). #LabourPartyConference

This is the first robot that I've seen that could actually replace many warehouse workers. Made by the Germans, of course.

Small plug for myself but if it's of use to anyone attending #ExploringDigital, I'm part of a comms resource created by @baptistuniongb called First Friday. They are free webinar series on comms support that may be help. The videos are available to watch bit.ly/3RHZwAg

In the #Laravel 4.x days, I made a prototype for a company that eventually evolved into a massive app with hundreds of classes and tons of functionality. Today it runs on Laravel 10 and #PHP 8.2. We always upgraded to the next Laravel and PHP release. The secret? Keep it simple: ✅ Embrace the framework. Don't fight it. ✅ Don't use too many packages. ✅ No quick fixes. Fix it properly. ✅ Tests, tests, tests. ✅ Reread the Laravel docs every now and then, even if you think you know it all.

We’re delighted to announce the appointment of our new CEO, Stewart McCulloch. Stewart will join us in January and his strong faith and wealth of experience as current CEO at @stewardshipnews will be an incredible asset to CAP as we seek to grow our impact.

First camping trip with my @wacaco_ltd nanopresso and it lost its pump button cover bit 😢

I'm always hesitant to post family stuff, because I always lose followers 😂, but hey, that's where my head's at most of the time. This week I caught one of my kids doing something inappropriate on their tablet. My reaction was to snatch the tablet and lecture. But I knew that would create more sneaking and shame. My wife and I talked it out and asked each other: "Would we rather have kids who never do the wrong things (impossible by the way), or kids who come to us when they've made bad decisions?" So I sat down with them and explained why they don't see me on Wednesday mornings. It's because I meet up super early with another dad to confess our failures that week and pray for each other. My friend and I do that because we both know how flawed we are, and how those things will grow in the dark until they've destroyed our lives or our families. I then asked them to practice confession with me. So they talked about what they did and what led them there. I didn't berate them about it, but I did explain where those actions could take them and have taken others. We hugged and I led them through a prayer. Then I told them how proud I was and spoke life and truth about who they are. All that to say: find someone you can talk to, and be the kind of person people can talk to. Don't let stuff grow unchecked in your heart.

Letting you in on a secret. 🤐 The "FACADE" license plate is not just a reference to Laravel. It's meant to be a reminder every time I drive that material possessions are impermanent and can never bring lasting happiness. All must decay. Memento mori. Happy Tuesday! ❤️

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom." // Isaiah 40:28
