The glorious Son - the Fountain of life For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters,
and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.(Jer.2.13)
'God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the holy, and to be held in deep awe by all them that are about Him.' Ps.89.7
'If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God defile; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.' 1 Cor.3.17 Depravity in the Name of Christ
John Piper's promotion of nightclub churches (archive) - sadly this carnality is now wickedly promulgated in London by Co-Mission.

'Wherefore come out from among them, and be separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.' (2 Cor.6.17) For churches struggling with involvement with this pernicious influence, words of reproof and comfort here: Rev.2.12-29.
The Colonna Report on UNRWA was a whitewash.
Israel's banning UNRWA's extreme exceptionalism was nearly unanimously approved in the Knesset for very good reasons, which have often been misrepresented.
How many great grandchildren of refugees are called refugees in other parts of the world? None. UNRWA is deliberately perpetuating the problems, infantilising much of the Palestinian population and actually destroying prospects for peace. Other agencies could serve them far better.
If you still trust the BBC, may I suggest you read UNSCR 1701, it will take you 2-3 mins, esp para 8? It has been completely betrayed by the UN, the international mediators in the Security Council, including the US and the UK, Lebanon and UNIFIL in particular.
UNIFIL seems to exist for two purposes, to shield Hizbollah and to condemn Israel. If you think I'm exaggerating look at the massive arms build up South of the Litani, with UNIFIL's acquiescence.
Caution needed, but there is a lot to recommend this book. Even if you disagree, and at points I do, the arguments should be familiar and the tactics used against academic dissent were deplorable.
(I emphatically reject the assertion many covid deaths were due untreated bacterial infection, as a frontline witness and prescriber - it's nonsense, we often overtreated for bacterial infection.).
There are very few European writers with this moral courage, and I unreservedly commend Douglas Murray for it.
Two clips to awaken you from your BBC-induced moral stupor, one longer (20 mins) and one short (3 mins). If you care one hoot about the Palestinians' future, you'll listen carefully to both.
A case study in disinformation.
The recent 'massacre' at the Al Taba'in School in Gaza.
Hamas said,
"All those killed in the occupation's massacres are women and children, and there is absolutely no justification for targeting our people" Hamas repeatedly boasts about using human shields!
The BBC,CNN and most other Western media largely echo Hamas' numbers of c.100 innocents dead. As they did with Jenin or the Al Ahli Hospital 'massacre' that wasn't.
The UN Special rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese, claims 'In the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century, Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one 'safe zone' at the time.'
The truth is likely to be more prosaic. The IDF claimed, 'no women or children were present, according to IDF intelligence'. 31 terrorists killed, precise targetting and precise weapons were used, as is evident from the images pre and post. Maybe there were some innocents killed, despite serious efforts to avoid them. But what is Israel supposed to do, sit on its hands, while serious efforts to repeat 7/10 are planned? We wouldn't, even if the same despicable tactics of hiding behind skirts were used. So why has the world fallen to such hypocrisy? Some IDF soldiers are paediatricians who treat Gaza's children in Israeli hospitals, do you really think they want to wipe them all out?
The Hamas-run health ministry on Sunday,11/8/24, claimed, “So far, there are more than 93 martyrs, including 11 children and six women. There are unidentified remains.” Big change from earlier claims, still heavily disputed and likely false. Would you trust ISIS?
Lest there be any doubt, rioting is always a work of the flesh, a sign of damnation both for those who collude, as well as those who participate. Gal.5.20-21.
Two more syndicated 'journalists' both involved in the 7/10 torture, rape and butchery, one as a member of Hamas Noskha 'special forces' in the vanguard, not just as observers, but active perpetrators of what is worse than Amos 1.13 and Ps.137.9, much worse than the Nazis (according to Churchill's biographer) and not at all like the episodes of terrible mass execution sanctioned by the Law, Num.31.7, which exactly enact the Judgement.
The only reason this isn't news in Western media, is this phenomenon is very well known to Western journalists, who are therefore complicit with these crimes.
I understand vaccine hesitancy and I've posted about the nefarious use of vaccine passports and vaccine compulsion for data & population control before, but... refusing the DTP vaccine for infants is dangerous and unethical. I've seen tetanus - it's ugly and can be lethal. Mt.8.6.
Soleb - another nail in the coffin for the contemptible and ridiculous 'Documentary Hypothesis'
Dr Hilary Cass wrote a helpful account of the medical harm and untested nature of attempted "conversion therapy" from one biological sex to 'another' (local copy), her recommendations are weak, not pressing for a ban on hormone blockers, nor specifically calling for caution on conversion therapy bans, not touching on underage contraception, nor a ban on 'transitioning', but she has been heavily vilified for what she did properly write, and she deserves commendation for her courage and persistence, in the face of a flood of disinformation and resistance by lobbyists for medical poisoning, mutilation and the destroying of many young lives, pretending to be 'specialists'.
The extraordinary island of Surtsey
'On Surtsey, only a few months sufficed for a landscape to be created which was so varied and mature that it was almost beyond belief.'
'Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion
let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up'
(The text is properly fulfilled in Heb.12.22)
'Which is the glory of all lands' Ezek. 20. 6,15 An obscure question to our eminent forebears, as their confusion testifies, now an inescapable issue of white hot relevance.
Famous 'Christian Zionists' writings - though they would not recognise the term for one who believes Biblical prophecy predicts a real Jewish return to Israel at the end of the Age. C.H.Spurgeon, J.C.Ryle, Robert M. M'Cheyne and Horatius Bonar. (Courtesy CWi) Many many others held an identical position.
'We look forward, then, for these two things. I am not going to theorize upon which of them will come first whether they shall be restored first, and converted afterwards or converted first and then restored. They are to be restored and they are to be converted, too.'
Charles Haddon Spurgeon The Restoration And Conversion Of The Jews. Ezekiel 37.1-10, June 16th, 1864
Lord Shaftesbury, Edward Bickersteth, J.C. Ryle, Murray M'Cheyne, John Rippon, Benjamin Keach, Thomas Sibbes, John Gill and Andrew Bonar and an army of other reformed teachers' positions were very similar, some pre-mill, many post-mill, other unpersuaded of literal millennium (like this author) - see Iain Murray's the Puritan Hope for more names and quotes.
