How did Oxford and Cambridge go woke?

It's because marxists who've never done an honest days work in their lives and couldn't make a profit selling burgers outside a football match, and teach that the government should steal from the rich to feed and house them, funnily enough noone in business wants to employ them. So they live what they preach and end up in tax payer funded jobs in councils, schools, and universities, government departments where they can ponce off tax payers and spout their malevolent politics of envy and hatred and indoctrinate other people's children who are forced on threat of prison to hand their children over for 8 hours of daily indoctrination. I tried telling my kids that climate change was a lie and they reacted in horror as if I was in personally murdering polar bears, and realised I had no hope of unindoctrinating them probably till they're adults and waking up to the real world. The Frankfurt school of radical communists including Gramsci realised to destroy Judaeo Christi...

Giving up the ghost

Image
John 19:30 KJV [30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. My reading this morning... even Jesus 'gave up the ghost' when his suffering became too much. He was fully man. I feel like giving up the ghost. I've been through too much... can't take any more. It's ok to feel like that. Jesus did. But he won anyway. But then he sat down and took a rest, knowing his enemies would be under his feet. And made us PERFECT!!

Jesus came as a servant not a King

Singing a song 'The King is in the Room'... For the 3rd time recently I've felt unable to sing along to a song in church. Sure Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords, but I find language like that makes me feel he's distant and unreachable. Like our own King - I've never seen him with my own eyes, I've no idea where he is and how to get in touch with him. I could write a letter and get an answer from a courtier. If he was in the room, we might well bow down, or would we - when he appeared to his disciples, he was just one of them, he made them breakfast... before he died, he washed their feet... I might be wrong but the only time he was acknowledged asking was the sign above his head on the cross when he was crucified I may 

Outcast

I'm just an outcast doing outcast things under an outcast sky I don't need their rules because rules are for fools I'm doing what gets me high I been so low doing things real slow Thrown outside the city where life's been shitty... Got outcast friends, with us the means are the ends Doing outcast stuff till we've got enough Cos I'm just an outcast doing outcast things under an outcast sky I don't need their rules because rules are for fools I'm doing what gets me high Till the outcast of outcasts came my way He wasn't a bad boy he was righteous He held out his hand to me he said you've just got to trust He showed me the way, I found peace at last Cos I was an outcast doing outcast things Till the King of all outcasts came by I broke all the rules rules, I was such a fool But he died outside the city, what he went through was a pity But he did it for me, and he did it for you! He stormed hells gates, brought the captives out, Put...

Broken Jesus, thief of hearts

My kids are just a gaping wound in my life. I love them more than my own life like any father does, clearly not very well, but none of us are really up to the task, we're all imperfect parents and our only real purpose is to point our kids towards their perfect heavenly father. But it still hurts. But as any good mother hen knows, when your chicks become a pain in the ass, it's time to stop sitting on them, cos it means they're hatching... Then you have to run yourself ragged fetching food for them while they just sit there squawking at you, being demanding getting fatter and more demanding! Then they finally get too fat, they totter out of the nest and fall out and hopefully learn to fly on the way down, then they're off and your job is done. Hopefully as a human parent you'll still hear from them, normally when they need money lol! Didn't we all do this to our own parents?! And maybe this is what we do to our heavenly father? Am I bitter towards Rachel?  It...

Responding to a friend worried about gangs of muslims in the streets...

Mate if you're walking around Birmingham city centre after 10pm you're not seeing the best of British. You're not seeing the hard working types who head to the gym at 6-7am for an hour or two before working a full day. You're not seeing the tough builders & scaffolders who are getting early nights as they're up at 5am to be on site an hour from home for 8am.  You're not seeing the many who are sparring  or training in the martial arts clubs, one of my best friends is the top jujitsu instructor in Derby, he gives sparring practice to special forces guys. At 60 he's the fittest guy I know, a former church leader/youth pastor/school governor/former physics teacher who's now a village church warden to several rural churches in retirement, studying for ordination as there's noone else available to preach so he's already doing  it, and having supernatural experiences and seeing a revival among 15 year old school girls from the big local school near...

Thoughts on Communion

Taking communion now, using 1 Cor 11v23-26 as my guide. Same as saturday, both reading the scripture and praying out loud I was just arrested in my tracks at 'Lord your body was broken...'. Look at this broken cracker, compared to an unbroken one. Think of anything broken - a broken pencil - my ice maker is broken (in this heat!) so I'm throwing it out - when something is broken, it is ruined, useless, unfit for purpose, to be discarded. Not like a mug being chipped that can still be used. This is a revelation to me - am too used to seeing Jesus on the cross, ok covered in blood etc, but still intact - not broken!  People proudly boast of being unbroken and unbowed when they suffer, oh it's just a flesh wound - religious art often portrays Jesus like this, oh so perfect, suffering so nobly, barely affected by it, just a few scratches, but piously putting up with it for our sakes, putting up with us even... But no,  not Jesus - he was BROKEN by our sin, he WAS bowed, he ...
