The heart of Christianity is about transformation-about a God who isn’t just concerned with our “spiritual lives “but who wants to impact every aspect of living. Its realising that God meets us not in a monastery but on Main street, and that all of ordinary, daily living has the potential to be lived as if Jesus himself were the one living it.

The Life you’ve always wanted  by John Ortberg

“the power of the Holy Spirit to flow and bring healing is something which transformed lives of Gambians as well as our own. The trip was like being part of the Acts of the Apostles”

Fiona Bruce MP.   I beg to move,

That leave be given to bring in a Bill to clarify the law relating to abortion on the basis of sex-selection;
and for connected purposes.

Sex-selective abortions are happening in the UK, and there is widespread confusion over the law, which is why this Bill is needed. The Bill is extremely straightforward, merely clarifying that nothing in section 1 of the Abortion Act 1967 allows a pregnancy to be terminated on the grounds of the sex of the unborn child. It is a shame that this clarification is needed. Successive Health Ministers and even the Prime Minister have been very clear on the matter. They state that abortion for reasons of gender alone is illegal. The Prime Minister has described the practice as “simply appalling”. But these Ministers are being ignored. The British Pregnancy Advisory Service, which performs around 60,000 abortions a year, flatly disagrees with them. Even today, it is advising women, in one of its leaflets and on its website, that abortion for reasons of foetal sex is not illegal, because the law is “silent on the matter”.

The BMA represents every doctor who permits or performs an abortion and BPAS is the UK’s biggest abortion provider. We cannot sit idly by as it contradicts Ministers over a practice that the Government state is illegal. Urgent clarification from this House is needed.

Chris Evans (MP) :

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what discussions
he has had with internet service providers about bringing forward
legislative proposals to tackle revenge porn websites.

Also:- This month Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary, announced that the posting of so-called “revenge pornography” on the internet will carry a maximum jail term of two years. It is now likely to become law in the Criminal Justice Bill next spring.

According to ChildLine, 25 per cent of 13 to 18-year-olds have admitted sending a sexual image of themselves to someone else and the National Stalking Helpline and UK Safer Internet Centre report a dramatic rise in revenge porn incidents in the last six months.

Also from Chris Evans:-

Chris Evans: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment
he has made on the potential merits of consolidating all government
websites into gov.uk as means of reducing the use of copycat websites
which charge extra for government services.

Mary & Martha talk of praying for people they come into contact with; they share how God is answering prayer and moving anew in their nation. They excitedly tell me of miracles of healing, lively prayer meetings in their church and of neighbours being inquisitive of their faith.

They live with a deep sense of  Gods purpose and calling_ and chose not to allow the pain of a very difficult childhood to overshadow what the lord is now doing in their lives.

Although they will  never forget past difficulties they both read the Scriptures avidly for spiritual food.

Their eyes are clearly on the horizon in which Jesus is all they need and want and they ignore the few “inconveniences”.   (Cairo)
