I’m headed to Manchester, England, where there are a lot of hungry hearts and searching souls. I’ll be preaching the Gospel on Saturday evening. Will you join me in praying that many will open their hearts to Jesus Christ and find new life by receiving Him in repentance and faith? christiandaily.com/news/fran…

I have avoided social media for days due to illness, but I cannot stay silent in the face of this absolute heresy, born out of the pits of hell itself! This is not merely an eccentric interpretation of Christianity. It is a profoundly perverse distortion of the biblical witness concerning the person of Jesus Christ. The claim that the Blessed Virgin Mary “assigned Jesus male at birth” fundamentally misrepresents both Scripture and the Christian doctrine of the Incarnation. Mary did not determine, construct, or assign the sex of Christ. Before His conception, the angel Gabriel declared: “You will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.” Luke 1:31. Likewise, St Matthew records the angel saying of Mary: “She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.” Matthew 1:21. Christ’s identity as the Son is therefore proclaimed before His birth. The language of the Gospel is not that Mary inspected her newborn child and imposed an identity upon Him. Rather, the child conceived by the Holy Spirit is repeatedly and unambiguously identified as the Son. And the assertion that Christ was resurrected as His “true transgender self” is even more extraordinary, because it directly contradicts the resurrection narratives. The risen Christ is the same Jesus who was crucified. He tells Thomas to see His hands and place his hand into His side. He eats with His disciples. He identifies Himself with the body that suffered upon the Cross. Christian orthodoxy confesses not the abandonment of Christ’s created humanity but its resurrection and glorification. As the Nicene Creed declares, the eternal Son “was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.” The Incarnation is not raw material upon which every contemporary ideology may impose itself. Jesus Christ is not a blank canvas upon which ungodly clergy may paint whatever anthropology happens to be fashionable in their generation. He is the eternal Son of God, incarnate in history, born of the Virgin Mary, crucified under Pontius Pilate, bodily raised from the dead and ascended into glory. A priest is ordained to proclaim that faith, not reinvent its central figure to fit their personal ideology! There is also something seriously pastorally irresponsible about presenting speculation as though it were Christian revelation. People experiencing questions concerning sex or gender deserve compassion, dignity and serious pastoral care. They do not need clergy rewriting the person of Christ in order to validate a modern unbiblical theory. The Church’s answer must be both charitable and truthful. We do not need to demean transgender people in order to say unequivocally that Jesus Christ was not transgender. Scripture gives no warrant whatsoever for that assertion, no matter how much any cleric tries to portray it. Nor did Mary “assign” Jesus anything. She received Him. She bore Him. She named Him according to the command of God. And on Easter morning it was not some newly discovered identity that walked out of the tomb. It was Jesus Christ Himself, the crucified and risen Lord, bearing in His glorified body the wounds of Calvary. Christian ministers are custodians of a faith received, not authors of a faith invented. When clergy begin remaking Christ in the image of contemporary culture, the proper response of the Church is not embarrassed silence. It is to remove that cleric, and return to the apostolic proclamation: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8. Christ does not require updating. The Gospel does not require ideological reconstruction. And the risen Lord does not require us to manufacture an identity for Him that neither Scripture, the Apostles, the Creeds nor the historic Church ever knew. Preach Christ as He has been revealed. Anything else may be fashionable ideology… But it is not, and never will be, the apostolic faith!

Love this 😀❤️😄

The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay have arrived on the Isle of Bute - their first official visit to the island and the town that gives the name to their Scottish titles - where they will undertake three engagements promoting the power of community 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nobody on earth needs a convoy to take two small children to school in a country where their faces have never been seen. Send a Nanny with them in a Range Rover, dressed in civilian clothes and no one would even notice. Harry trying to influence RAVEC, and it’s all getting boring now. Go about your business and shut your mouths.

Why does Twitter’s algorithm assume that if I like ONE tweet about something I would surely enjoy my entire feed immediately becoming about that?

Once you learn how to be happy, you won't tolerate being around people who make you feel anything less.

My condolences to Prime Minister Andy Burnham and all his family. No matter how old you are, or how much you try to prepare, losing your father is a profoundly painful experience. A part of your life that has always been there is suddenly gone forever and it can feel as though a part of you won’t ever be the same again. May Roy Burnham Rest In Peace.

🚨 BREAKING: MPs have voted against the Assisted Dying Bill Yes: 270 No: 286

The Assisted Dying Bill has fallen. God bless the 286 MPs who saved vulnerable lives from a truly terrible Bill. Thank you. 🙏

I was waiting for this side-by-side of both father and son.👏📚

The letter, quite simply, was to clarify the position to officials and authorities, who may have been approached about visits within their jurisdiction and how they should respond organisationally/to expectations. It confirmed/firmed-up the Sandringham Agreement, no surprises

Bishop Robert Barron has CONDEMNED the upcoming nightclub events at Saint Paul's Cathedral in London: 'This is doing enormous damage, especially to young people, whose lives have been flattened into a preoccupation with money, worldly success, and material things'

someone said "if you don't let people experience the consequences of their actions towards u, you will remain a safe place for their worst behavior" and I couldn't agree more

There is little point complaining that churches are being turned into mosques when the Church of England seems intent on turning cathedrals into clubs. Many now yearn to reconnect with Britain's Christian heritage. If only the Church of England did too. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8z…

Deeply saddened to have been at the Big Church Festival with my family when a sign tragically blew over, injuring several people and, devastatingly, resulting in the loss of a life. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been injured, the family and loved ones of the person who tragically died, and everyone affected by this terrible incident. I’m also deeply sorry for the Big Church Festival team. I can only imagine the emotional and financial ramifications this tragedy will have on the organisation and everyone involved. Genuinely, deeply sorry for all that has happened. May God comfort those who are grieving, bring healing to those who are injured, and give strength to everyone affected. 🙏❤️ @BigChurchFest

“When I get where I’m going and I see my Maker’s face, I’ll stand forever in the light of His amazing grace… There’ll be only happy tears. Hallelujah.” -Dolly Parton in her duet of “When I Get Where I’m Going.” Rest in peace.

7 REASONS TO THANK GOD TODAY: 1. He woke you up today. 2. It’s a new day. 3. You have the Word in your hand. 4. You have food to eat. 5. There is a roof over your head. 6. He will never abandon you. 7. God’s love for you NEVER changes!

Enjoying some much needed downtime and a break from military duty. In London with my niece, and got to experience the British tribute to Dolly Parton as they played “9 to 5” today! I admire Dolly’s push for reading; it’s clear her life’s reach was worldwide. 💂🇬🇧 #royalfamily #dollytribute @DollyParton @RoyalFamily

Dolly Parton taught us that a woman can be powerful, beautiful and talented, and still be kind. And that success never has to come at the expense of grace, generosity, or heart !! What a wonderful example she set for us all. Rest well, Ms. Parton! We will always love you!! May your light shine on…
