Posted by | May 3, 2023 | , |

Faced with the growing secularism and decline of Christianity, the personal faith of Queen Elizabeth II re-echoes the Christian values and the unique role of the British monarch as head of the established Church. The function of the monarchy since the reformation keeps Christianity in the public sphere, ‘even if more honoured in the breach than the observance.’ [1] In our rebellion against the divine monarchy, the decline in biblical literacy and Christian formation calls us to cry to “God to save the king” to save us all, for all have sinned (Rom 3:23). As the monarch swears a coronation oath...

The testimonies about ‘golden mouthed’ preachers from Chrysostom and Augustine[1] to John Wesley, Billy Graham, Apostle Ayodele Babalola, Patriarch Professor Bolaji Idowu, and Charles Stanley, among others, warn us of ‘double-tongued’ preachers today (1 Tim. 3:8). The lamentation of John Wesley towards the end of his earthly ministry at age 87 to Alexander Mather on August 6, 1777, on the danger of ruin to Methodism resonated with the need for faithful preaching in the Christian Church today. According to Wesley, “Our preachers, many of them, are fallen. They are not spiritual. They are not alive to God,” hence the shameful...

“Rarely seen without his world map jacket or inflatable globe, George always prayed for the nations and current issues. He was energized by encouraging others and keeping in contact with thousands of friends and ministry partners through letters, emails, and phone calls” – Operation Mobilisation website.

George Verwer’s Operation Mobilisation, a mission across borders, cultures, and continents, resonates with the ‘Methodist doctrine of mission,’ especially a world parish with the reality of the world church. Just as the sphere of the early Methodist activity shifted from English parishes to distant...
