We can still worship God even if our church doors are locked
We can worship the God who loves us by doing what we can to care for others on a daily basis.

Christians as much as anyone else need to listen to those they disagree with
It is both arrogant and unloving to assume we have a complete grasp of the truth and have nothing to learn from others.
-
Boris Johnson's Brexit plan will have a corrosive effect on our society
Brazen attempts to justify law-breaking will only add to the current sense of cynicism and encourage ordinary people to think they can bend the rules too.

God is still God of the unexpected
Despite all of the chaos around us this year, God is still performing miracles and doing the unexpected.

Given the current covid pandemic, I would suggest that we need many more leaders who can inspire us to love God and love our neighbour.
-
God's love is unconditional and it extends to all
There are no limits to our Heavenly Father's love, only our limited understanding of it. And we need to come to terms with the sobering truth that it is we who set the limits by the way we treat each other.
-
Editing our history won't benefit anyone
I readily identify with those who want to expose the failings of previous generations, but I don't think this should mean editing history.
-
As black people cry for justice, Dr King speaks powerfully to us today
Christians should be at the forefront of the battle against any ideology that devalues and dehumanises their fellow human beings.
-
More honesty would go a long way to restoring trust in our leaders
Trust cannot be commanded; it can only be won, which is why verbal gymnastics and a refusal to talk straight are of no help at all.
