The Book of 2 Samuel

The people of Israel were discontented and demanded a king like other nations. Despite warnings, they persisted, and eventually, God instructed Samuel to grant their request. Their first king, Saul, started well as both a leader and a soldier. However, his character flaws soon became evident, leading to his downfall. After his army was defeated in battle, Saul took his own life, marking a tragic end to his reign.

The Book of 1 Samuel

At the end of the book of Judges, the people of Israel were caught in a cycle of victory and failure, needing a long-term solution. As the book of 1 Samuel begins, a meaningful change takes place. God surprised the people by choosing an unlikely figure to lead them. He granted a childless woman a son, Samuel, who grew up to be a renowned priest and prophet.

The Book of Judges

The book of Judges follows Joshua’s final address, where he reminds the people to remain faithful to God, love him, and serve him. His message is relevant today, as Christians are encouraged to stay close to God and follow his will. In the turbine hall of Tate Modern (it used to be a power station) they have large art installations. Years ago, there was a huge sun at one end of this vast room with a ceiling full of mirrors.

The Book of Joshua

The book of Joshua follows the events of the book of Numbers, where God’s covenant people had reached the border of the Promised Land. It narrates their conquest of the land, raising ethical questions about war, though these are beyond the scope of this overview. Under Joshua’s leadership, the Israelites prepared to cross the Jordan River. However, the land was already inhabited, and its people were not willing to surrender it.

The Book of Numbers

The book of Numbers serves as the travel journal of God’s people after their time in Egypt, documenting their journey from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab and the Promised Land of Canaan. However, the vast wilderness posed a significant challenge, and the people were unprepared for its difficulties. Instead of responding with faith, gratitude, and obedience, the Israelites frequently reacted with unbelief, ingratitude, and rebellion.

Books of Leviticus & Deuteronomy

So far in our journey through the books of the Bible I've covered Genesis and Exodus. Genesis reveals God’s purposes, human nature, failure, and hope. It introduces Abraham, through whom God establishes a covenant people. The book concludes with Joseph’s family settling in Egypt, setting the stage for Exodus, which means "departure". Exodus recounts how God rescues his people from Egypt, leading them through the wilderness for forty…

Lent and Ramadan have come at an opportune time. For those of all faiths and none, an opportunity to pause and reflect on everything we hold dear. Hey, don't we need that right now? Light, life, and love.

Wow, unbelievable! US House Speaker Mike Johnson is calling for Zelenskyy to grovel back or have regime change in Ukraine! The ignorant cult of Trump has not only humiliated America on the world stage, but has made her a pathetic laughing stock. Nauseating! 🤢

I've been thinking about the state visit invitation to Trump. It's a tricky one. My gut reaction was to rescind it, but my head says that Trump would throw his toys out of the pram. That would make 'great television' but wouldn't be in the interest of the UK, Europe, or peace. Maybe, kick the visit down the road, and find other things in the diary to do. It's nauseating to pander to Trump's ego, but we need to keep calm heads.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: King Charles doesn't have a problem with how he's dressed. King Charles doesn't need him to keep saying thank you. King Charles accepted him as someone fighting for the freedom of his country. Because King Charles isn't a narcissistic moron! 🇺🇦

The UK (and Europe) are already at war with Russia. They have defeated us with lies and propaganda leading to Brexit, thus dividing Europe. Ongoing interference in other countries' politics to promote their agenda. Repeated cyber attacks on our institutions and services. Incursions into our air and sea spaces. Trying to cut international undersea cables. Assassinations in the UK with no regard for the safety of our citizens. Need I go on? We need to wake up!

The Book of Exodus

The Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, begins after Genesis, with Joseph’s family settling in Egypt. Initially prosperous, they became a threat to Pharaoh, who enslaved them and subjected them to harsh conditions. In response, God appointed Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses first attempted to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites, but he refused.

I hope I can sleep tonight. I'm still unbelievably angry with Trump and Vance. They are despicable individuals and infantile children. Europe needs to unite around Ukraine. America is no longer an ally, it's an enemy of the Free World. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 🇺🇦
