My Story Talk 20 Ministry at Basingstoke 1968-78 Part 5 Welcome to Talk 20 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Last time I was telling you how God was clearly blessing my trips abroad, to Switzeralnd, France, Belgium and the USA, and, thanks entirely to the gift that God had given me, my teaching was in increasingly great demand both at home and overseas. But how did all this fit in with my responsibilities as the pastor of the church in Basingstoke? The Lord showed me that the answer lay in two things – writing and team ministry. Writing ministry Today, of course, it's relatively easy to communicate with people all over the world by a variety of options available through the internet. But before the internet, apart from radio and television, speaking on which was not readily available, Christian literature was the main means of communicating with potentially thousands of people. What you write can travel further than you can. One example of this was Andy Anstey, a Canadian who became a student at Mattersey during the early years of my principalship. He told me that he had been baptised in the Spirit in a university library in Canada as a result of reading my book, The Dynamic Difference. I have never been to Canada, but one of my books had found its way there. It had started as a booklet I wrote for the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship in 1971, Be Filled with the Spirit. Jim Hall had used it on my first trip to Illinois and persuaded me to expand it, as a result of which Receive Power was published in 1974 in time for my second trip to the States. It was finally published in 1978 by Gospel Publishing House, Springfield MO, under the title, The Dynamic Difference. I was also writing articles for magazines like Redemption Tidings and Youth Aflame, the AoG youth magazine. At Basingstoke I had given a series of Bible studies on the Fundamental Truths of Assemblies of God, and I asked Vernon Ralphs, the editor of Youth Aflame, if he would like me to write a series of articles on the subject. Those articles were eventually published by Peniel Press as a book under the title, Know the Truth, in 1976, and with the cooperation of the publisher, I was able to give a free copy to every AoG minister at the General Conference that year. And something similar happened with another series of articles I wrote for Youth Aflame. At Colchester I had duplicated a series of short talks for young people who had just given their lives to Jesus and these were eventually published as a book in 1977 under the title How to Live for Jesus. Both these books are still being used, over fifty years later, by a number of churches today, though Know the Truth is now published under the title You'd Better Believe It. It has been translated into several languages including German, French, Italian, Finnish, Spanish, Urdu, and Nepalese. Another publication that is still being used widely around the world is the distance learning course I wrote on the Major Prophets for the International Correspondence Institute in Brussels under the title Themes from the Prophets. I have already mentioned that this was a subject I was lecturing on in Kenley Bible College and I already had many pages of lecture notes that I had produced and duplicated for the students. So when Dr George Flattery, the brother of Warren and founder and director of ICI, asked me if I would be willing to write the course, I was happy to do so. This involved several visits to Brussels, each of which lasted for two weeks, where I could get on with writing the course undistracted. It was also a great opportunity to meet other Pentecostal educators from around the world, including the renowned New Testament scholar, Professor Gordon Fee who was writing the course on 1 Corinthians and became a good friend. So I will always be grateful for the opportunity I was given to be a part of ICI, but especially for the induction teaching they offered to all their course writers, which included the requirement to read The Art of Readable Writing by Rudolf Flesch the basic message of which, as I remember it, was to write as you speak, rather than writing in the academic style you were required to use at school or university. Other things Flesch recommended were, wherever possible, to use short words rather than long ones, personal names rather than pronouns, the active voice rather than the passive, and short sentences rather than long ones – which prompts me to close this sentence before it gets any longer! So, to summarise, I had realised that by using literature a person's ministry could be extended far beyond their time and ability to travel. But that in itself did not solve the problem of reconciling what I perceived to be my obligations to the church where I was pastor with the travelling ministry the Lord was clearly opening up for me. And, as I was praying about this, he answered my question by whispering into my heart the word Antioch. Of course, I knew that Antioch was the place where the disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11:26), but at first I couldn't see how it was relevant to my problem, so I decided to turn to Acts to see if I could find the answer. And I did. The answer was the development of team ministry. Developing Team Ministry The church at Antioch was started by believers who had been scattered as a result of the persecution of the church that took place after the stoning of Stephen. Some of them went to Antioch spreading the word to both Jews and gentiles and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord. When the apostles at Jerusalem heard about this they sent Barnabas to take care of the work, and even more people became Christians. Realising that he needed help, he went to Tarsus to find Paul and brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught great numbers of people. From this it is clear that they were both, to say the least, key people in the church. And yet in Acts 13 we are told that the Holy Spirit sent them away from the church for a time in order to pioneer churches in other countries. The reason they were able to do this and, on their return, find that the church was still strong, was because they were not the only leaders in the church. Acts 13:1 talks of three others at Antioch who were prophets and teachers. As I read about this it became obvious to me that this was the Lord's answer to my question. If I was to continue travelling we would need other leaders in the church. So I started on a detailed study of what the New Testament has to say about the leadership of the local church, and I discovered that churches were led by a team of elders, overseers, or pastors, and as I investigated the passages where these are mentioned I saw very clearly that these were all interchangeable terms. In the New Testament the elders were the pastors. They were the ones who were the shepherds of the flock and had the responsibility of watching over, or overseeing it. I have gone into this in detail in my book, Body Builders, and so there is no need to repeat it here. All I need to say is that I came to the conclusion that the traditional system of having just one person as the church leader really has no biblical basis and that team leadership must be the way forward. I have already mentioned how the pastor in East Saint Louis had come to the same conclusion and it soon became apparent that this was something the Lord was saying to many different leaders around the world. I preached on this in the Home Missions Conference at Weymouth in 1973 and was pleasantly surprised that I was not the only one to hold this view. But where were these new leaders for our church in Basingstoke to come from? The answer was simple. We already had them, but they had never been recognised. There were two men, David Moncaster and Keith Davidson, who, I felt, both met the biblical qualifications mentioned in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. But before I asked the church to appoint them, I spent several weeks teaching about the principles of church leadership. If we are going to persuade people to break away from long held traditions it is vital that we show them very clearly that what we are proposing is in line with scripture. I have already mentioned that Bill Mitchell had already been recognised as an elder in the church before I came. But after my teaching on the biblical qualifications of elders he graciously came to me and said that in the light of what I had taught he thought he was probably a deacon rather than an elder and offered to resign. I told him that I thought he was probably right, but that, as his resignation might be misunderstood by some of the members, I would prefer him to remain as an elder, nominally at least, as long as we both understood that this was not really his role. And to this he readily agreed. So for the final few years of my time in Basingstoke the church was led by a team which we referred to as the pastoral oversight, Willaim Kay being added to the team a little later. The church continued to grow under this system of leadership, and when the Lord moved me on to Mattersey the church was in safe hands. The call to the Bible College I have already mentioned that in 1970 I started as a visiting lecturer at Kenley Bible College. On one of my visits in January 1972 I learned that John Phillips, who was a full time residential tutor at Kenley would be leaving, and as I was travelling home that evening, I was wondering who might be chosen to replace him. It would surely be someone who was already teaching at the college and I was thinking through the names in the college prospectus when I came to my own name. But I quickly dismissed the thought as I was sure that I would be considered too young for such a responsible position. And anyway, God had called me to build a big church in Basingstoke, hadn't he? But no sooner had I thought this than I felt a check in my spirit and said, But of course, Lord, I'll do whatever you want me to do. But if you ever do want me to leave Basingstoke I will need very clear guidance on the matter. You may remember the struggle I had when we first moved to Basingstoke and how for some months I wondered if we had done the right thing. I didn't want a repetition of that. But now, having prayed that prayer, I tried to put the matter out of my mind. This turned out to be harder than expected and that very night, some time between 1:00 and 2:00, on Tuesday 25th January, I woke up with a burning conviction that I was going to live at the Bible College. I tried to shake it off, but it would not go away, so I went downstairs to pray. What I said to the Lord went something like this: Lord, you know I need my sleep, so if this is of you, and you want me to go to the college, would you please tell me quickly? And he did! As I opened my King James Bible, it fell open at 2 Chronicles 34:22. I could hardly believe my eyes. It contained the words dwelt… at the college. With the exception of the parallel verse in 2 Kings 22:14, this is the only reference to the word college in the whole Bible. This had to be more than coincidence. I had asked the Lord to tell me quickly, and he did. But, rather like Moses in Exodus 3 and 4, I found myself making excuses like, I've only been in Basingstoke for four years, and, They wouldn't choose me. I'm too young. I don't have enough experience etc. But just as God had an answer for every objection Moses made, he had an answer for mine too. For each objection I made he led me directly to a Bible passage that answered it. As a result I was entirely convinced that I was going to live at the College. I didn't know when but thought that it might be in September after John Phillips had left. In fact it was five or six years later! I have discovered that one of the hardest things in understanding the will of God is his timing. I have also discovered that God seems to give us the clearest guidance when he knows that there is trouble ahead! It's only the certainty that we are in his will that will sustain us through trials and difficulties and tests to our faith. And there were to be plenty of those before we got to Mattersey! But that's something for our next talk.
Do we get the nonfiction we deserve? LATimes book critic Bethanne Patrick wrestles with this question through five new books that both mirror and address our fractured psyche. From Melissa Fibos' choice of celibacy over toxic sexual romance to a lone wolf crossing impossible borders, all these works expose a world grappling with isolation, AI empires, and the collapse of meaningful discourse. Whether it's Thomas Chatterton Williams's critique of wokeness, Damon Young's biting anthology of new black comedy, or Karen Hao's disturbing portrait of OpenAI as our new imperial reality ( Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao), each book reflects our deeper crisis: the inability to connect authentically in our age of social isolation and anxiety. The Dry Season: A Memoir of Pleasure in a Year Without Sex - Melissa Fibos. Melissa Fibos, a writer with a history of intense romantic fixations, realizes she's addicted to the chase rather than genuine connection. She embarks on a year-long celibacy experiment, allowing masturbation and fantasies but avoiding all dating and partnered sex. It's a transformative journey of empowerment as Fibos discovers authentic pleasure in solitude, food, and simple experiences, ultimately meeting her future wife before completing the full year.Summer of Our Discontent: The Age of Certainty and The Demise of Discourse - Thomas Chatterton Williams. This multiracial critic argues that America's obsession with racial categories perpetuates the very divisions we claim to fight, insisting that race is purely a social construct with no biological basis. Writing from his perspective as an American expat in France, Williams contends that woke discourse and "correct" language distract from addressing real structural problems. His book challenges readers to move beyond tired black-versus-white frameworks toward more nuanced conversations about power and identity.That's How They Get You: An Unruly Anthology of Black American Humor - Edited by Damon Young This collection features sharp satirical pieces from top Black American writers who skewer everything from Karen culture to Disney's racial blindness to tech company exploitation. Contributors include Mateo Askaripour (who wrote the acclaimed "Black Buck") offering biting commentary on workplace racism and cultural appropriation. The anthology demonstrates how humor serves as both weapon and shield, allowing writers to expose systemic absurdities while maintaining their sanity in an often hostile world.Lone Wolf: Walking the Line Between Civilization and Wildness - Adam Weymouth In 2011, a wolf named Slavc traveled over 1,000 miles from Slovenia to the Italian Alps, becoming the first wolf in that region for decades and eventually establishing a pack of over 100. Weymouth follows this remarkable journey to explore how artificial barriers—from the Iron Curtain to Trump's border wall—prevent both wildlife and human refugees from reaching safety. The book uses the wolf's migration as a lens to examine what happens when the wild refuses to respect human boundaries and how life persistently seeks ways to thrive despite our attempts to control it.Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI - Karen Hao. Based on 90 interviews with current and former OpenAI executives plus dozens more from competing tech companies. Hao argues that without proper regulation and transparency, AI could evolve into a modern version of the British East India Company—a technological monopoly that serves elite interests while reshaping global power structures. Tomorrow's show features a full interview with Hao.

My Story Talk 18 Ministry in Basingstoke 1968-78 Part 3 Welcome to Talk 18 in our series where I am reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Last time we saw how, during the years we were there, the church in Basingstoke grew as a result of the consistent and regular preaching of the gospel by means of Sunday night gospel services, evangelistic missions, personal evangelism and door-to-door work, and ministry among children and young people. And the fact that God graciously confirmed the message by miraculous signs according to his own will was undoubtedly a significant factor as the supernatural gifts of the Spirit were regularly in evidence in our meetings. But our years at Basingstoke also saw a significant widening of my ministry beyond the local church not only in preaching but also in writing, both in the UK and further afield. Ministry beyond the local church Speaking engagements within the UK With the exception of my ministry in universities and colleges as Travelling Secretary of the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship, the vast majority of my speaking engagements were at the AoG Bible College or in AoG churches or conferences. The invitation to lecture at the Bible College, which was then in Kenley, Surrey, came in 1970 from the newly appointed Principal, George Jeffreys Williamson. Kenley was a couple of hours' drive from Basingstoke, and I went on a fortnightly basis staying overnight and giving lectures on the Major Prophets, Comparative Religion, and New Testament Greek. Apart from the Greek, I had little or no prior knowledge about the subjects I was teaching and so the lecture preparation time was considerable. But I enjoyed the challenge and added to my personal education in the process. I could not have possibly known it then, but my time at Kenley turned out to be the start of over fifty years of teaching in Pentecostal Bible Colleges around the world. I was also receiving invitations to minister at large conventions and national conferences. Despite the charismatic renewal that was happening at the time in some of the other churches, Pentecostals, having been rejected and ostracized for decades, were still rather suspicious of what was happening, and tended to keep pretty much to themselves, gathering together in large celebrations, especially at significant times of the year, when there was a public holiday – Easter, Whitsun, August, Christmas and New Year. These were amazing times of blessing as people, hungry for the word of God, gathered for fellowship, worship, and to hear specially invited speakers. Some Easter Conventions, like the Cardiff City Temple (Elim), where I was privileged to minister on more than one occasion, would last from Thursday evening until the following Tuesday, very often with two speakers in each meeting. In the mid-seventies, when I would sometimes be booked for up to five years in advance for Easter, I preached at conventions in Preston (72 and 74), Tunbridge Wells (73), Bishop Aukland (75), Peckham (76), and Coventry (77). Apart from these popular events which were arranged by local churches, there were also national events like the AoG Annual General Conference, attended by thousands, and the Home Missions Conference organised by the AoG Home Missions Council. In 1969 I was asked to speak at the HMC Conference in Coventry on the subject, Preaching the Gospel in the 1970s. And in 1973 at a similar conference in Weymouth, I spoke on the importance of team leadership in the local church, about which I will say more next time. Even more significant, however, was General Conference which in the late sixties took place in Bognor Regis and from 1971 to 1989 was held at the Butlins Holiday Camp in Minehead reaching a record high attendance for the AoG Jubilee Conference in 1984. I was a speaker on one of the main celebrations (back then referred to as ‘rallies') on several occasions, the first of which was in Bognor in 1969. But perhaps the greatest privilege was for many years being made responsible for speaking at the receiving meeting which was held every year for people who were seeking the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Over the years we saw hundreds begin to speak in tongues, some of whom told me that they had been seeking for years but had never heard it explained so clearly. Other events at which I ministered regularly were youth rallies organised either by local churches or by AoG District Councils, and the National Youth Rally. I was a member of the AoG National Youth Council (1973-76), who were responsible for organising this annual event at which I would usually either lead or preach. I suspect that the reason I was elected to the NYC was partly because people had come to know of the work we were doing among young people at our youth camp. That may also have been the reason for the evangelistic missions I was invited to conduct. On two occasions Colin Whittaker, who was then the AoG pastor at Luton, asked me to conduct an eight-day youth mission. For one of these I was assisted by members of the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship who sang and testified in the evening meetings but also did a great job in distributing invitations to the young people as they came out of school. The other time, I was alone, but part of the week's programme was to preach in one of the schools where I was supported by a Christian band and where dozens responded to the appeal at the end of my message. Another time I was asked by the Christian Union at Chester College – now Chester University – to do a five-day evangelistic mission for the students in the college. When I arrived just after lunch on the Monday, a member of staff conducted me to the bedroom they had allocated for me. I hope you don't mind, he said, we're putting you in a room that was occupied until recently by a student we have had to expel from the college. He had been practising witchcraft . I was rather surprised by this, to say the least, but I put a brave face on it and said, as casually as I could, Oh, that's fine. No problem! But when I entered the room, I confess I began to wonder what evil presence might be lurking there. The half-burnt candle on the windowsill didn't help . Had that been part of his devilish paraphernalia? Or had they just had a power -cut recently?! Then I remembered what Jesus had promised to his disciples as he sent them out on the task of world evangelisation: Surely, I will be with you always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:20). I reminded myself of other Bible verses like Behold I give you power over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19) and I began to take courage. I settled into my room and started to prepare myself for the meeting at which I had to speak that evening. After a few minutes there was a knock at the door. Two men stood there. They had seen the light on in my room and wondered who it was that was in there. Are you a new student? they asked. No, I replied, I've come to conduct a mission for the Christian Union. That's interesting, said one of them. It's strange they should put you in my old room. It was the man they had expelled for practising witchcraft ! He had come back to visit his friend. Of course, I invited them to the meeting that evening and the ‘witch ' said he might come. And sure enough, when the time for the meeting came, there he was sitting in the audience. I preached the gospel and I would like to be able to say that the man gave his life to Christ, but he didn't. Instead, he came and argued with me! This went on for some time after the meeting had closed, and after about half an hour, feeling that we were getting nowhere by arguing, I decided to invite him to come to the meeting the next day. I think you'll be particularly interested tomorrow, I said. The subject is Jesus the way to power . How real is the supernatural ? Is it safe? I don't think you know the first thing about the supernatural , he replied. What a challenge to a Pentecostal preacher! Well, I don't know much about what you get up to when you practise your witchcraft , I said, but I will tell you one thing. When you come under the control of a familiar spirit , you can't say Jesus is Lord, can you? I don't know who was more surprised, him or me! I had said this on the basis of my understanding of 1 Corinthians 12:1-3, but I was not prepared for the effect it had on this young man. He went visibly pale and said, How did you know that? Taking courage by his reaction, I said, Because the Bible , which is God's word tells me so. And I'll tell you something else it says. You may not acknowledge that Jesus is Lord now, but the day is coming when you will have to, whether you like it or not. For the Bible says that one day at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father ! As I quoted these verses from Philippians 2:10-11 to him, he retreated out of the room! I went to bed at around 11pm and fell asleep straight away, sleeping soundly until about 7 the next morning. While the students were having their breakfast, I went down the corridor to the washroom to shave. While I was shaving, I saw in the mirror the face of the ‘witch '. He was standing right behind me. Good morning, he said. Did you sleep well? Yes, thank you, I replied. Are you sure? Yes, perfectly sure. I went to bed around eleven and slept soundly until about seven. Really? I can't understand that! Why? What so unusual about having a good night's sleep? Well, you see, he confessed, I was so annoyed with what you said last night that I stayed up all night practising my witchcraft . I was trying to get a poltergeist into your room to disturb you. I've done it many times before and it's never failed. That's why they expelled me from the college. I can't understand why it didn't work this time. Oh, I said, I wish you had told me. I could have told you not to waste your time. Don't you know that Christians are immune to such things? Later that day he was seen leaving the college with his bag packed. Leaving? said one of the Christians. Aren't you coming to the meeting today? No, he replied, that fellow knows too much about the supernatural. What a sad story, but despite the satanic opposition, during the course of those five days over 40 students made a decision for Christ. But finally, before we turn to the speaking invitations that began to open up for me overseas, which I'll tell you about next time, a word about those I was receiving from within the UK apart, of course, from the things I've already mentioned – teaching fortnightly at the Bible College, preaching in universities and colleges, serving on the National Youth Council, and ministering at conventions, conferences and missions. In addition to all that, looking back at my diaries I discovered recently that between 1972 and 1976 I was ministering on average over twelve times a year in churches other than Basingstoke. Why do I mention this? Because with that amount of ministry there is always the danger that the family may suffer as a result of it. I am so grateful to Billy Richards who spoke to the ministers in our district about pastors who discovered that their kids had grown up before they knew it and who regretted that they had spent so little time with them. On hearing that, I was determined that that would not happen in our family, and so, whenever I returned from a trip away, Eileen and I would make sure that we all spent extra time together, like going for a drive or walk or picnic in the beautiful Hampshire countryside and followed by a favourite meal for tea. And we made sure that we always had good summer holidays too. Apart from camp, which was a holiday for the kids, but hard, though enjoyable work for Eileen and me, we always tried to make sure that as a family we had two weeks away together. At first these were always in the UK in places like North Wales and Cornwall, but our most notable trip by far was in 1976 when we went to L'Auberson, a small village just a mile from the French border in the Jura region of Switzerland. Back then holidays abroad were far less common and far more expensive than they are today, and such a trip would have been financially impossible for us had it not been for the inheritance Eileen received from her father who had sadly died from a heart attack in 1975. We travelled by car stopping overnight just once en route at a hotel – the children's first experience in one – in La Veuve, a small village near to Chalons-sur-Marne and arrived at L'Auberson early in the evening. Actually it was earlier than we thought. We had put our watches on an hour when we entered France and assumed that the time in Switzerland was the same, but, as we found out later, in those days the time was the same as in England, so when we went to bed at what we thought was nine o'clock, people were rather surprised that we were going to bed at eight! And when we arrived at church the next morning in time for the ten o'clock service the door was still locked because it was really only nine! The pastor was Willy Droz – more about him next time – and I had not told him we were coming and had tried to time our entrance just in time for the service so that he would not ask me to preach. After all I was on holiday! So, of course, I ended up preaching after all – in French. But that brings me to the next subject – speaking engagements abroad, which we'll talk about next time.
We've all seen the headlines - AI is revolutionising everything from how students learn to how teachers teach. The promise of personalised learning paths, automated grading, and AI teaching assistants has created a gold rush mentality in education technology. But in our rush to adopt these powerful new tools, are we moving too fast? Today we'll explore why when it comes to AI in education, we need to learn fast but act more slowly and thoughtfully. We'll look at both the tremendous opportunities and serious risks that AI tools present for students and educators. We'll examine where AI can truly add value in education versus where human teachers remain irreplaceable. And most importantly, we'll discuss why comprehensive AI literacy and training is absolutely crucial - not just for educators, but for everyone involved in shaping young minds. Drawing on insights from leading experts on the frontlines of AI in education, we'll provide a framework for thinking about how to implement AI tools responsibly and effectively. Whether you're a teacher, administrator, policymaker or parent, this episode will give you practical guidance for navigating the AI revolution in education. Talking points and questions may include: Opportunities and risks of the tools: Adaptive or personalised learning paths, automated marking and feedback, content generation, analytics and teaching assistants, but also inaccuracy and lack of transparency, data risks, biases, ethics and safeguarding, and like social media, the unintended lasting consequences Where AI is best placed: Is it EdTech and tools in the classroom, the augmentation and elevation of human intelligence, or is it just learning about AI and what it can do and why (is knowledge=power enough?) Why it is so important that understanding and training are emphasised and why everyone needs to have such training Without it there can be safeguarding disasters, skills training can be insufficient, many AI tool providers are offering free training to learn to use their tool but this is consumerised and inadequate and can be ethically questionable; do we want successive generations to only be producing AI tools that are exploitative and using our data and our IP without our consent, or do we want to help people with technology and for the partnership to be of most benefit to them?

Numbers 27 Among the final duties of Moses was dealing with a family anomaly and the appointment and preparation of Joshua to assume his role. This chapter addresses these two things. V.1-11 – In the orders for the division of the land, just given (Num. 26), no provision had been made for females, in case of failure of male issue. The five daughters of Zelophehad, therefore, considered themselves as destitute, having neither father nor brother, and feeling themselves entirely overlooked agreed to refer the case to Moses and the rulers, whether it were not equitable that they should inherit their father's portion. This led to the enactment of an additional law to the civil code of Israel, which satisfactorily ascertained and amply secured the right of succession in cases of inheritance. This law, which is as reasonable as it is just, stands thus: 1. On the demise of the father, the estate descends to the sons. 2. If there be no son, the daughters succeed. 3. If there be no daughter, the brothers of the deceased inherit. 4. If there be no brethren, or paternal uncles, the estate goes to the grand uncles, or brothers of his father. 5. If there be no grand uncles, then the nearest of kin succeeds to the inheritance. The daughters of Zelophehad appear again in Num. 36:1-12. V.12-23 – Moses was allowed one view of the land promised to Abraham before his death. This raised the issue of who would replace him as leader of the nation. His question is answered by Yahweh in the appointment of Joshua. Proverbs 19 Prov. 19:1 – “Better is the poor that walketh in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool.” Poverty and integrity do not always go hand in hand. In fact, sometimes poverty produces a perversity that blames God for its condition; V.3 – “The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth against Yahweh.” The rich have friends (V.6), but nobody wants to know the poor man (V.4,7), except “the king's son” – V.17; Ps. 72:12-14. Having begun with “integrity” in V.1, there is an emphasis in this chapter on the scourge of false witnesses – V.5,9,28. Nothing is more harmful than the peddling of lies and rumors. Philippians 3 Phil. 3:2 – “Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision” (katatomē – cutting off; mutilation = circumcision). Paul warns against Judaisers who worked surreptitiously to undermine his influence. That the term ‘dog' could be used of them indicates how unruly and vicious their behavior was. The term dog also is used to denote a person that is shameless, impudent, malignant, snarling, dissatisfied, and contentious, and is evidently so employed here. Paul acknowledges that he had acted like them in the past, but had been rescued from it by Christ's intervention (V.3-9). His rescue had been a ‘resurrection' to a new life in Christ (V.10), but one that brought sufferings and persecution such as he had dealt out to believers. He looked for a better “resurrection” – the word in V.11 is exanastasis – a rising from death (but to be given eternal life), hence, the prefix. Anastasis is about raising the dead to mortal life. Paul knows that his total commitment to Christ after his conversion in ‘repayment' for his persecuting past will lead to eternal life (1 Cor. 9:16-18; 15:8-10). V.12-17 – But Paul is careful not to wallow in the past as there was much to do, and there were many handicaps, not the least of these human nature to which some had capitulated (V.18-19). In a series of engaging sentences well translated by Weymouth, Paul set forth his goals – V.12-14 – “I do not say that I have already won the race or have already reached perfection. But I am pressing on, striving to lay hold of the prize for which also Christ has laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not imagine that I have yet laid hold of it. But this one thing I do–forgetting everything which is past and stretching forward to what lies in front of me, with my eyes fixed on the goal I push on to secure the prize of God's heavenward call in Christ Jesus.” V.20 – “For our conversation (politeuma – citizenship) is in heaven,” hence, followers of Christ do not participate in politics on earth in any form. V.21 – “Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.” This is the “prize” of V.14. While there is nothing good in human nature, the KJV translation is deficient. A number of reliable translations have transform “the body of our humiliation.” Human nature routinely humiliates us by disease, regressive malfunction, transgression and an endless bias towards evil, and of course, ultimately death. We seek to receive the now “glorious body” of our Lord from him.
Natalie celebrates the arrival of spring and the joys of beach hut culture along the British seaside. She shares her top five favourite unusual and extravagant beach huts, starting with the innovative Spyglass in Eastbourne, which rotates to follow the sun, and the artistic What Unearthed, inspired by local archaeological finds. The episode also highlights the quirky Crazy Golf 18 Holes in Folkestone, created from a repurposed crazy golf course, and a striking lighthouse-style beach hut by artist Pablo Branston. Finally, Natalie takes listeners back in time to Weymouth to explore a replica of the historical bathing machine used by King George III. This episode is a delightful exploration of unique beach huts that embody creativity and history, perfect for anyone planning a seaside getaway. KEY TAKEAWAYS Spring and Beach Hut Season: The arrival of spring brings longer daylight hours and the opportunity to enjoy beach days, prompting thoughts about holiday plans, particularly trips to the British seaside. Unique Beach Huts in Eastbourne: Eastbourne features two extraordinary beach huts, the Spyglass and What Unearthed, both designed as part of an initiative to create iconic beach hut designs. The Spyglass is notable for its ability to rotate for optimal views, while What Unearthed is inspired by local archaeological discoveries. Folkestone's Artistic Beach Huts: Folkestone is home to several remarkable beach huts, including Crazy Golf 18 Holes, created by sculptor Richard Wilson, which repurposes elements of a former crazy golf course, and a lighthouse-style hut by Pablo Branstein, which pays homage to 18th-century architectural styles. Historical Bathing Machines in Weymouth: Weymouth features a replica of a bathing machine, an early form of beach hut used by King George III. This wheeled structure allowed for modesty while bathing and represents a significant piece of seaside history. Exploration and Recommendations: The episode encourages listeners to explore these unique beach huts and historical structures during their summer travels, while also promoting other podcast episodes that delve deeper into specific topics related to beach huts and their history. BEST MOMENTS "The Spyglass is a unique beach hut because it was designed to move. It was mounted on a recessed turntable and the hut was designed to rotate 180 degrees to give you the best view." - Natalie Young "What's Unearthed is a striking geometric beach hut... inspired by local archaeological discoveries." - Natalie Young "He recycled an old crazy golf course, sawing it up into three sculptures in the shape of three beach huts." - Natalie Young "This fabulous hut is situated next to other brightly coloured huts along the waterfront and alongside the council's more mundane arrangements for parking maintenance." - Natalie Young "The bathing machine allowed the better off to enjoy the sea and at the same time protect their modesty whilst they took a dip." - Natalie Young Beach Huts Featured: https://jakstudio.co.uk/the-spy-glass/ https://www.foleyarchitects.com/case-studies/eastbourne-beach-hut https://www.richardwilsonsculptor.com/sculpture/18-holes-2008.html https://youtu.be/_w7u0suA7hI?si=1udIkiQLkL9Q09Up https://www.countrylife.co.uk/out-and-about/the-remarkable-tale-of-the-bathing-machine-258941 HOST BIO My name is Natalie Young. I bought a beach hut to bring joy into my life after escaping an abusive relationship and a difficult divorce. Based in Christchurch, Dorset, my beach hut is affectionally called the Salty Seagull and is located on Friars Cliff beach with sea views to the Needles on the Isle of White. It is my slice of heaven. Owning and hiring a beach hut is more complicated than I realised and I am on a constant mission to discover the best ways to manage and care for your hut. I have researched the pros and cons of renting and the best ways to market and host. The beach, the sights and the sounds of the sea bring me huge joy. I hope this podcast will bring you smiles, laughter and joy too! https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559730024536&sk=about https://www.linkedin.com/company/103555627/admin/feed/posts/?feedType=following PODCAST DESCRIPTION Welcome to the Bonkers about Beach Huts podcast, the show that's all about beach huts!

Alors que la reconnaissance faciale en direct dans les espaces publics est interdite en Europe, la technologie séduit de plus en plus outre-Manche. Face à une supposée recrudescence de la délinquance, de nombreux commerces britanniques optent pour cette technologie aidée par l'intelligence artificielle. Mais sans garde-fous juridiques, les ONG s'inquiètent de ces bases de données composées de « suspects », sans aucune validation des autorités publiques. De notre correspondante à Londres,Dave est assis dans l'arrière-boutique de son magasin d'alimentation générale, près de la gare de Weymouth, dans le sud du Royaume-Uni. Il regarde l'enregistrement qui date du mois de décembre d'une femme en train de prendre des bouteilles d'alcool pour les mettre dans les poches de sa parka. Un superviseur l'a vu et est allé lui demander des comptes. C'est justement pour éviter ce genre de choses que Dave a installé Facewatch, un logiciel de reconnaissance faciale, en juin 2023.« Avant Facewatch, nous avions des vols deux ou trois fois par jour, parfois plus. Il s'agissait souvent des mêmes personnes. Maintenant, nous en sommes à deux ou trois vols par semaine, relate le propriétaire du magasin. Nous recevons des alertes de Facewatch lorsque des voleurs qu'on a déjà repérés essaient encore d'entrer dans notre magasin, ils sont refoulés à la porte. Donc, très souvent, cela évite qu'il y ait vol. »Et le procédé est simple, détaille Dave : « Voici donc la caméra de surveillance avec Facewatch. Elle prend un cliché et le compare avec une base de données. Si la personne correspond à la base de données, nous sommes alertés dans les six secondes qui suivent le passage de la porte. » D'autres commerçants des alentours qui utilisent le même logiciel Facewatch remplissent aussi leur propre base de données.À lire aussiChine: l'intelligence artificielle au service de la surveillance de masse« C'est très dangereux pour une société de voir les moyens de sécurité privés se multiplier à ce point »Chris Jones est le directeur de l'ONG pour les libertés publiques Statewatch. Du haut de la terrasse de son immeuble d'entreprise, Chris Jones surplombe Fleet Street, l'une des rues principales de la Cité de Londres, le quartier financier. Il sait que les caméras sont partout, dans les rues, dans les commerces. Ce qui l'inquiète surtout, c'est le manque de régulation. Il pense au système de partage des informations qu'utilisent, par exemple, Dave à Weymouth et les commerçants des alentours. Qui sont-ils pour punir une personne sans qu'elle ait été jugée et déclarée coupable ?« C'est très dangereux pour une société de voir les moyens de sécurité privés se multiplier à ce point. Car il est censé y avoir un seul ensemble de lois pour tous, appliqué de manière égale par le système de justice pénale, rappelle-t-il. Donc, on s'éloigne de plus en plus de l'idéal d'une société fondée sur l'État de droit. »Normalement, les commerces doivent préciser s'ils utilisent des caméras de surveillance et si la reconnaissance faciale est utilisée. Mais selon les ONG comme Statewatch, tous ne jouent pas le jeu et ne préviennent pas les clients qui ne peuvent alors pas donner leur consentement. Consentement qui se fait de facto simplement en entrant dans le magasin.À lire aussiEn Europe, les étrangers premières victimes de l'intelligence artificielle

Welcome to Monday Night Live! From Pirate Adventures to Restoring Lost Treasures: Hidden History on Monday Night Live Description: In this week's episode of Monday Night Live, host Derek Arden welcomes longtime friend and former colleague, Godfrey Lancashire. With a fascinating background that spans banking, international hockey, and private investigation, Godfrey dives into a unique passion project he's undertaken: the discovery and restoration of a historic 16th-century artifact, once lost to time. Join Derek and Godfrey as they journey back to England's Elizabethan era, exploring swashbuckling adventures, historic landmarks, and a shipwrecked Spanish warship that played a surprising role in English history. Summary: Introducing Godfrey Lancashire: Banker, Investigator, and HistorianDerek Arden kicks off the episode by introducing his guest, Godfrey Lancashire, whose career is as varied as it is remarkable. After beginning in banking and playing an instrumental role as captain of the United Banks hockey team, Godfrey transitioned into private investigation, where he developed a knack for uncovering stories both hidden and forgotten. Today, he has become deeply involved in restoring a significant relic from Elizabethan England—one that speaks to his passion for history and adventure. A Dive into Elizabethan England: The Golden Age of ExplorationGodfrey takes viewers on an imaginative journey back to the Elizabethan era, a time of cultural and academic flourishing as well as daring maritime pursuits. Queen Elizabeth I, a strong proponent of education, saw the rise of scholars and explorers like William Shakespeare, Sir Francis Drake, and Sir Walter Raleigh. It was an age where piracy was romanticized, and many individuals embarked on "noble" adventures on the high seas. Godfrey shares stories of exploration and commerce, where the spoils of piracy sometimes funded noble pursuits—one of which is the very school Thomas Hardy helped establish in Dorchester. Thomas Hardy's Legacy: A Pirate's Treasure TransformedGodfrey introduces Thomas Hardy, a “squire and pirate” from the small village of Frampton in Dorset, England. Hardy's adventures brought him wealth, which he used in 1569 to establish a school for boys, today known as Thomas Hardy School. This institution served as a pioneering educational center, and for centuries, it safeguarded a unique artifact: a beautifully carved wooden screen salvaged from the Spanish ship San Salvador, a ship that was once part of the Spanish Armada. Rediscovering a Lost Artifact: The Restoration of the San Salvador ScreenThis impressive wooden screen, standing at four meters high, was kept in Hardy's school building until it was transferred to new premises in 1927. Eventually, the screen was moved again but was sadly misplaced during a recent school theater renovation. Godfrey shares how the screen nearly ended up lost forever—discarded in a salvage yard—until an astute conservator recognized its historical value. Thanks to the conservator's sharp eye and dedication, the screen was carefully reassembled, piece by piece, with the support of the local community and generous donations. Preserving History with Passion: The Efforts Behind the Screen's RestorationGodfrey explains the meticulous restoration process, in which thousands of fragments were pieced back together like an intricate jigsaw puzzle. With expert knowledge, the team confirmed the screen's authenticity through materials testing, and the restored screen is now displayed in its former glory. The team has also uncovered fascinating details, including engravings and notes on the screen's reverse side, which offer glimpses into England's maritime past. Looking to the Future: Ensuring the Screen's Place in HistoryIn the final part of the interview, Godfrey speaks about the plans for the screen's future. Though originally housed in the school, discussions are underway to permanently display it at the Weymouth...

Welcome to intermission 2, the second specially blended soundscape from the past year of Lento. This week's theme is waves and shorelines. There are four sections that blend effortlessly into each other. The sound-view into each watery place lasts around eleven minutes and enables you to compare and contrast the wide variations in aural detail from place to place, beach to beach, and at different times of the day and night. 185 Onshore breeze on Chesil beach Chesil beach has an astonishingly powerful aural presence. The Lento sound camera is pointing directly out too sea, about fifteen yards from the breaking waves, capturing the deep visceral sound feel of this steep and stark Beach. The heft of the receding waves, as they haul back huge quantities of heavy spherical shingle. The advancing waves, curling and then breaking into white sound walls of spray. And the ever flowing on-shore breeze. Through listening you can feel the weight, shape, and rhythm of this 18 mile long beach on the Jurassic coast of Southern England. 216 Sat on the sand of East Looe beach A perfect spot for an uninterrupted cinematic sound-view of crashing waves on East Looe beach in Cornwall. Waves in all their crisp textural detail. Can you hear which way the longshore drift goes? It can take a few minutes. The waves feel powerful in this spot on the sand. Sometimes thunderous. Thunderous, and yet calming at the same time. the presence of the seawall (behind) and pier (to right of scene) gives this beach an unusually enclosed sound feel. 188 Rock seat on Rye Harbour beach Near a limpet covered wall, beaten into shape by high tide waves and squally weather, are some rocks submerged in shingle. Rye Harbour shingle. Advancing waves keep rolling in. Splashing and breaking, as much onto each other as they do onto the smart grey contoured shingle. Rye Harbour feels as wild as it is panoramically empty. So enjoy some empty time, just listening to the crashing waves as the tide slowly goes out. 211 Nothe Fort at night - quiet swirling waves These are lazy waves. Rolling and slooping over half submerged rocks. Being the dead of night the quiet in this place is Pristine. The Lento box is recording from a tree looking out over the water beside Nothe Fort in Weymouth. The sound view of these waves, against such a perfect backdrop of solid nocturnal silence, is highly spatial and aurally clear. It's why we've travelled back to this precise location twice to capture their sound.

On peut naître loin de la mer (à Metz), découvrir la voile sur un fleuve (la Saône), passer sa jeunesse sur des plans d'eau intérieurs (à Tours), entamer ses études dans une grande métropole (à Lille)... et décrocher une médaille aux Jeux Olympiques (à Londres, en 2012). C'est le destin du finniste Jonathan Lobert, 39 ans, qui commentera les épreuves de voiles de Paris 2024, à Marseille.Car les plans d'eaux intérieurs, aux vents tourmentés et "shifty", sont une sacrée école de la tactique : 7 ans après avoir découvert l'Optimist, le jeune Lobert se classe 21e aux championnats du monde, en Martinique ! Un an plus tard, devant sa télévision, il assiste au sacre de Ben Ainslie à Sydney et la médaille olympique devient un rêve d'ado.Pas de plan de carrière pour autant, juste la passion et le plaisir, qui le font enchaîner les supports - l'Europe, puis le Laser, qui l'emmène en équipe de France jeune.Mais son mètre quatre-vingt-treize n'est pas idéal pour la bôme si basse du futur ILCA7, alors, en 2007, il se lance en Finn, roi des supports olympiques, par où sont passés les plus grands et les stars de la Coupe de l'America.Désormais installé à La Rochelle, le jeune Lobert commence à briller et intègre l'équipe de France, avant d'enchaîner les bonnes performances et d'être sélectionné pour les JO de Londres, où il décroche une médaille de bronze - il faut l'entendre raconter la medal race de Weymouth pour comprendre ce que c'est qu'une finale olympique...Lors de la préparation olympique suivante, il ne sort pas du top 5 mondial, mais les jeux de Rio sont un échec (14e) sur lequel il revient avec franchise. Un an plus tard, opéré du genou, il est champion d'Europe ! Mais les saisons suivantes sont plus difficiles, et un démâtage rarissime alors qu'il s'apprêtait à se qualifier pour ses troisièmes JO puis une 30e place aux mondiaux de Porto en 2021 mettent fin sa carrière, sans amertume.La suite c'est la reconversion d'un athlète de haut niveau, qui reprend ses études, multiplie les conférences, les interventions, se forme au coaching.Et reste, toujours et encore - cela s'entend tout au long de ces deux heures - animé par la passion inextinguible de son sport.Diffusé le 28 juin 2024Générique : In Closing – Days PastPost-production : Grégoire LevillainHébergé par Ausha.

Prepare to illuminate the mysteries of cosmic luminescence with Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson in this enlightening Q&A episode of Space Nuts. Our stellar duo navigates the void to answer Lee from New York's luminary question: How much light is there in space? Could we see Voyager 1 in its distant travels, or would it merely be a shadow against the cosmic tapestry? Fred sheds light on the subject, revealing the surprising capabilities of the human eye in the darkest reaches.Next, Fenton from Minnesota proposes an ingenious method for shielding astronauts from the relentless radiation beyond the Van Allen Belts. Could a miniaturized version of these protective fields be the key to safe space exploration? Fred unpacks the complexities of cosmic radiation and the futuristic technologies that might one day safeguard our interstellar voyagers.Robert from Vienna ponders a parallel universe where our moon is not the cratered time capsule we know, but an icy or hazy sphere like Europa or Titan. Would our understanding of the solar system's history be drastically different? And would astronauts have dared to tread on such enigmatic surfaces? The answers might just surprise you.Finally, Duncan from Weymouth queries the nomenclature of the outer planets, challenging the distinction between 'ice giants' and 'rock giants.' Fred clarifies the frosty moniker, explaining why Uranus and Neptune's chilly atmospheres earn them this cool classification.From the potency of starlight to the protective puzzles of space travel, this episode of Space Nuts is a cosmic cornucopia of knowledge.

Embark on another cosmic journey with your favorite celestial explorers, Andrew Dunkley and Professor Fred Watson, in this insightful Q&A episode of Space Nuts. This time, the mysteries of the outer solar system take center stage as we delve into the elusive Planet Nine. Duncan from Weymouth, Dorset, ponders whether a rogue planet might have once danced through our neighborhood, stirring the orbits of distant objects before continuing on its cosmic path. Could this explain the peculiar movements without the need for a ninth planet?Next, Rusty revisits his solar pergola concept, but with a twist. Imagine a constellation of satellites, each casting a penumbral shadow upon Earth, designed to reduce solar exposure by a subtle 2%. With advances in technology, could this be the geoengineering marvel we deploy within a decade to temper our planet's fever?David from Seguin, Texas, presents us with a tantalizing "what if": If you could step foot on any exoplanet, which would it be? Andrew and Fred share their interstellar real estate preferences, revealing the allure of Earth-like worlds and the practical considerations of cosmic travel.Lastly, we're tackling some homework from our inquisitive listeners. Wayne's curiosity about supernovas and gravitational waves leads to a discussion on cosmic symmetry, while Lee's question about InSight's ability to triangulate Marsquake epicenters unveils the intricate modeling of the Red Planet's inner structure.So, fasten your seatbelts for a voyage through the wonders of space science, where questions spark discovery and the universe's secrets are just waiting to be unlocked.
