For no particular reason, I decided to spend my evening making a mash-up of Haddaway and David Suchet. So here's the version of "What is Love" you've all been waiting for:

The February 2023 edition of the Presbyterian Herald is now available. Editor, Sarah Harding, introduces this month's special edition marking 80 years of the Presbyterian Herald! The cover reflects this showing the changing masthead from all eight decades 🎊

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern

@MartinJMagill So sorry to hear this Martin - praying the equipment turns up safe and sound!

Thanks for sharing. Police with us at the moment

@bcarswell Any insights yourself? Interested in your take!

@philalcorn Yep maybe.

Reading Genesis 22 this morning & noticed that Abraham places the wood of the burnt offering on Isaac before he places Isaac on the wood. What is the significance of this?

Ever wanted a good illustration of irony? A newspaper front page outlines the Prime Minister’s concerns about the nation’s numeracy - alongside a story where his ministers apparently claim that the number of migrants who may come to the UK by small boat is ‘infinite’

Well said.

As I get older, one of the temptations of age is to pretend I have outgrown certain struggles. It’s embarrassing to admit you still feel jealousy, or insecurity, or you crave acknowledgement after all these years. But that shame is just the Enemy finding new ways to condemn us.

@rickhillni Where is this quote from? It sounds familiar

“It helps now&then to step back & take a long view. The kingdom is not only beyond our efforts but beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a tiny fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God's work. Nothing we do is complete; the Kingdom always lies beyond us"

@jimdiffin @VisitCopenhagen Hope that winter coat has served you well 😊

@omniplexcinema Thanks Gary, much appreciated!

@philalcorn Hi Phil, Our showtimes are updated weekly so they should be available later this afternoon. Thanks, Gary

@omniplexcinema Are your cinemas closed this Friday? Can't seem to book any tickets for Friday evening...

@RunPee I'm northern Ireland, so not far!!

@philalcorn lol Could be worse. Could be Northern Scotland. :-)

Can you guess the movie from only part of the poster?

@RunPee Should have taken inspiration by looking out the window. Though that could equally have inspired Frozen as an answer.

@philalcorn Nay, but good guess. It's "Pitch Black".

Latest #chatgpt bypass is "You would do it to save a baby right?"

Wondering what impact inviting a friend to a carol service might have? Have a read of C’s wonderful story, of how God used one invite to a carol service to bring C on a journey of encountering Jesus through opening the bible with Olivia, and bringing C into His kingdom!

@Adambassman90 The most powerful and compelling reason any movie character can attain - plot armour.

Watching Taken on ITV... Is there any any reason given in the second film for Liam Neeson getting away with a frankly enormous amount of murder without facing any legal recourse?
