Last night, at my own church, we concluded a series of Bible studies on the Book of Ruth. Besides reflecting on the thrilling finale whereby the kinsman redeemer, Boaz, finally gets his prize, Ruth, we reflected on their descendants via David and eventually, Jesus. While Ruth and Boaz were the main seen characters, there was also Naomi, Ruth’s mother-in-law. We also considered the subject of genealogies. For my own thoughts on Ruth (see here) and Bible genealogies (see here). These go back nearly four years.

Part of my watchman on the wall remit is to look at the UK political scene and comment. What I see is overwhelmingly depressing (in a human sense) but there are causes for hope.

It seems to me that as a Christian believer, along with other Christian believers, me and they should make it as our top priority to promote the cause of Christ. This article concerns what that cause is and how we should be going about promoting it.

Long ago, I came to a view that good, earnest, sound, real Christians often do not sing from the same hymn sheet and more’s the pity as those same Christians working together in love and unity is God’s great idea, along with Israel, for Him reaching out to a lost world.

While tragic, maybe were preventable if the “actions have consequences” maxim was followed.

We are still only in the first month of a new year and it is not without significance that this is the third time this month that Donald Trump has been a major component in what I blog about.
