What does it look like to stand for truth with both courage and gentleness? In this message, we are reminded through the life of William Wilberforce that Christ calls us to be “wise as serpents and harmless as doves” (Matthew 10:16). Though surrounded by the spiritual darkness and injustice of the British slave trade, Wilberforce's heart was transformed by the gospel, and God used him to shine the light of Christ boldly in public life. Through years of opposition, criticism, and discouragement, he persevered in prayer, conviction, and compassion, trusting the Lord to bring lasting change. His life challenges us to faithfully stand for truth wherever God has placed us, relying not on our own strength but on Christ's wisdom and grace to reflect His love to a broken world.

Meet William Wilberforce, a kind-hearted man who lived a long time ago in England. He is famous for helping to stop slavery. Wilberforce worked very hard to make new laws that would free many people. He spoke up in front of important people and never gave up, even when things were tough. His strong belief that everyone should be treated fairly changed history. Thanks to him, many people got the freedom they deserved.

What if your child graduated with straight A's but had no wisdom, no courage, and no character? Grades were never meant to be the real goal — and this episode is going to challenge everything you thought homeschooling was supposed to accomplish.We are breaking down why character education is the foundation your homeschool actually needs, and sharing 3 practical ways to start building it in your home this week:✅Why curriculum delivers information but character determines everything else✅1 question to ask at dinner tonight that builds character, ownership and leadership✅How to focus on just one character quality for 3 to 4 months without overwhelm✅Why a single Bible verse can do more for your child than any curriculum can✅The tool that helps your whole family work on character together every single dayGrab the Character Training Toolkit mentioned in this episode and start building what really matters in your homeschool.Resources for YouCharacter Training Toolkit (charts, e-book, videos)Free Character Mini Chart Show Notes:The Real Goal of Homeschooling: Raising Kids with Godly CharacterIf your child graduates with straight A's but lacks wisdom, character, and courage — have you really succeeded? Grades were never meant to be the goal of education. Today I want to talk about the real goal of homeschooling.God Uses Young Leaders — Not Just Good Test TakersWhen we go back and look at Scripture, we see repeatedly that God does use young leaders. But these leaders aren't necessarily ones that just passed the test. It goes so much deeper than that.David led Israel as a young man. He killed Goliath with some rocks. Daniel influenced kings through wisdom and character. They both had godly character and they had faith.We have the freedom to raise thinkers, leaders, and disciples. And that is exactly what we should be doing.Here's the thing. Curriculum delivers information. Character determines how that information is used. Let me repeat that. Curriculum delivers information. Character determines how that information is used.The Story of William WilberforceI want to tell you a little story about a man named William Wilberforce. His dad died when he was 9, so his mom sent him to London to live with his aunt and uncle. They were believers, and there was a lot of Christian influence in the home.He was exposed to a man named George Whitfield and became a believer himself at the age of 12. He also became friends with John Newton — for those of you who don't know who John Newton is, he wrote Amazing Grace. He was a slave trader who turned pastor. Wilberforce started seeking spiritual counsel from John Newton.And he said this: God had set before me two objects — the suppression of the slave trade, the reformation of manners.This took a lot of courage. Christian worldview drives out slavery — it is an anti-slavery mission. But this cause was very unpopular in Parliament back in the day.Wilberforce became the target of ridicule, political attacks, and even assassination threats. People wanted to kill him because he wanted to get rid of the slave trade. Admiral Nelson was so irate that he actually pummeled Wilberforce on the street.Twenty Years of PerseveranceHe began in 1793. He introduced an abolition bill. It failed by 8 votes. Then he had a new bill banning British ships from the slave trade. It failed by 2 votes. His political allies began to abandon him, but he continued to introduce abolition bills year after year.Twenty years of influencing public opinion. And he began to see the tide turn against the evils of slavery.Fast forward to February 23, 1807. He's in the House of Commons. The room rose to its feet, turned to Wilberforce, and began to cheer — three rousing Hip Hip Hoorays — while Wilberforce sat with his head bowed and wept. He was so overcome. The vote passed 283 to 16.They had abolished the British slave trade.That's the kind of person I want my kids to be. And I'm sure you want your kids to be strong in their faith but also strong in character. That is the character of a leader — faith-driven purpose, moral courage, perseverance despite failure after failure, a long-term vision, and a leadership stand that protects millions of lives.How to Build Godly Character in Your KidsSo how can we take this story and apply it to you? I believe we need to be raising our kids to have courage, perseverance, and endurance. And I think we take it off of our shoulders and put it on God's shoulders to train our kids in godly character. It was godly character that got Wilberforce through 20 years.I wouldn't try to tackle every character quality at once. I would choose one character quality that your kids need to work on and spend 3 or 4 months on it. Find a verse that reinforces that godly character. Let your kids memorize it and say it every morning at breakfast. And then, when they struggle and they don't do it, you bring them back to that verse. It's always back to God's words — not my words.One of the things we have put out is our Character Training Toolkit. There are three charts, and they all have the positive and the negative — for example, truthful and cheating. There's a space to write what happens when they're truthful and what happens when they're cheating, a verse, and you've already decided ahead of time what you're going to do. It also comes with mini charts you can put on the refrigerator, so everyone in the house is working on it together. I'll put a link to that in the show notes.Simple Dinner Table Questions That Develop CharacterAnother thing you could do is at dinner tonight ask, what is one good decision you made today? This trains your kids to think about their character. It trains them to take ownership and leadership of their character.It forces them to think about how their day went. A low could be that they sinned and they need to confess it. A high may be that they were truthful and received a blessing. These types of activities develop ownership and leadership — and that's what I want in my kids. They didn't need to be dependent on me for the rest of their life.The Question to Ask About Every Curriculum ChoiceAs you look at resources for your homeschool — whether it's curriculum or whatever — use this question: Will this help my child become wiser? Or just busier?Is it just checking off a checklist so they can get a grade? Or are you truly building wisdom in your children? Great homeschooling parents protect curiosity, character, and independent thinking — which leads to ownership and leadership.Your homeschool is not just preparing your kids for college or a job. You are raising thinkers, leaders, influencers, and disciples.Character was one of the most important things for me. Besides a relationship with God, that is what I wanted for my kids — to think biblically and critically, and to act according to the Bible as well.Check the show notes for links to the Character Training Toolkit, the Leaders in Training series, the e-book on manners, and the other resources mentioned in this episode.If you got one thing out of this episode, would you please share it with another homeschooler or Christian parent who could use it? And wherever you're listening, leave a review or a comment — that would mean the world to me.

Send us Fan MailEfesiërs 4:14-15 Dan, as mense ons met slinksheid en slimstreke op verkeerde paaie wil lei, sal ons nie meer soos klein kindertjies wees nie. Ons sal nie meer omgewaai of weggewaai word deur die wind van elke ding wat hulle verkondig nie. Nee, terwyl ons mekaar liefhet, sal ons by die waarheid bly en so in alle opsigte groei om soos Christus te wees. (NLV) Dit lyk asof mense deesdae die vermoë verloor het om beskaafd van iemand te verskil. Ons sien gereeld hoe politici mekaar uitmekaar wil skeur, hoe sekere groeperinge Christene belaster en andersom. Wat het geword van die vermoë om met respek te debatteer en van mekaar te verskil?William Wilberforce het in die 18de eeu in Engeland die stryd om die slawehandel af te skaf, gelei. Hy was onverskrokke in sy stryd teen slawerny en het die gruwels daarvan dapper openbaar.Tog het hy sy teenstanders met grasie behandel en hulle nooit persoonlik belaster nie. Jaar na jaar het hy met nederigheid en deernis die saak by die Parlement bepleit. Hy het die euwel van slawerny en die slawehandelaars wat in die stelsels vasgevang is, van mekaar geskei; hy was onvergeeflik teenoor die probleem, terwyl hy empatie gehad het vir die handelaars. Sy gesindheid het uiteindelik gehelp om die handel tot 'n einde te bring.Efesiërs 4:14-15 Dan, as mense ons met slinksheid en slimstreke op verkeerde paaie wil lei, sal ons nie meer soos klein kindertjies wees nie. Ons sal nie meer omgewaai of weggewaai word deur die wind van elke ding wat hulle verkondig nie. Nee, terwyl ons mekaar liefhet, sal ons by die waarheid bly en so in alle opsigte groei om soos Christus te wees. (NLV)Dit is nie slim om die feit, dat ons aan alle kante deur diepgewortelde boosheid omring word, te ontken nie. Ons sien daagliks hoe mense met hulle geld en posisies ander mense benadeel en dan met hulle slim argumente vir ons probeer oortuig om saam met hulle te staan.Maar soos Wilberforce, is die beste reaksie om genadig teenoor die persoon te wees en die probleem te konfronteer. God se liefde vermy en ontken nie die waarheid nie – Hy tree in liefde, in plaas van minagting, op.Ons sal by die waarheid bly en so in alle opsigte groei om soos Christus te wees.Dis God se Woord.

In the call to being a prayer leader, Becky believes that prayer is sustained by God's power through perseverance. She continues the story of William Wilberforce, who, for almost 40 years, waged a battle in England over slavery. Wilberforce, as she's detailed previously, felt called by God to take it on what quietly began as a conviction early in his career in 1790, and continued as a deep burden until his groundbreaking bill was passed in 1807 with more legislation to be waged until 1833. In this episode she reveals how he is a compelling role model for persevering prayer.   ANY questions on HOW to LEAD a prayer meeting, the free ebook, or for daily encouragement to read through the Bible in a year, or for Becky's resources, visit: https://linktr.ee/BeckyTirabassif   Please follow Becky daily @BeckyTirabassi on Instagram or Facebook or email Becky: Media@beckytirabassi.com   For the seriously burdened leader, an eBook version is available here.

Gracia es el favor inmerecido de Dios. No es por algo que haya en nosotros, sino a pesar de nosotros. La Iglesia entiende en Hechos 15 que la salvación es sólo por Gracia. Cuando añades algo al mérito de Jesús, sea tanto un ritual como la circuncisión y el bautismo, o nuestras obras al cumplir la Ley de Dios, no sumamos, sino restamos a la obra de Cristo. En este programa de Ruta 66, escuchamos tras la sintonía, esta vez a cargo del grupo australiano Jo Jo Zep y The Falcons en Melbourne en vivo a finales del 77, la canción del León de Belfast, Van Morrison, "En busca de Gracia" en su reciente maravilloso álbum, "Tres acordes y la verdad" (Three Cords & The Truth 2019). Chris Martin creció en una familia cristiana inglesa en Devon, donde asistía con sus padres a la capilla evangélica Belmont en Exeter. Se distanció luego del cristianismo, llamándose ahora en Coldplay, no ateo, sino "todoteo" (alltheist), o sea que cree que Dios está en todo. Sin embargo, cuando pasa tiempos difíciles, espera que "Dios ponga una sonrisa en su cara" (God Put A Smile Upon My Face 2022). Más claramente evangélico es el himno que canta en su último disco, el cantante de Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant, buscando la "Gracia salvadora" (Saving Grace 2025) con la esposa del baterista de su banda, Suzi Dian en el "Arado del Evangelio" (Gospel Plough), un cántico espiritual tradicional afroamericano, que incluyo Dylan en su primer álbum. La película que más transmite la atracción del ahora fallecido actor Robert Duvall por la fe evangélica, junto a su obra más personal, "Camino al Cielo" (The Apostle 1997), es la que se conoce en España como "Gracias y favores" (Tender Mercies 1983) y en Hispanoamérica como "El precio de la felicidad". Dirigida por el australiano Bruce Beresford, fue escrita por su amigo Horton Foote y le valió, no sólo el Oscar al mejor actor, sino también uno de los más claros ejemplos de conversión que ha mostrado el cine. Es la historia de este cantante de country, alcoholizado, que nace de nuevo y se bautiza, tras casarse con una viuda joven, adoptando su hijo en un pequeño motel de la América profunda. La música que acompaña esta vez los comentarios de José de Segovia, está hecha con Inteligencia Artificial. No podía faltar para hablar de la Gracia, el himno evangélico que más claramente da testimonio de su poder en la vida de su autor, John Newton (1725-1807, antiguo traficante de esclavos, convertido en predicador del Evangelio que inspira la fe del abolicionista Wilberforce. Lo oímos en la voz de otro músico cristiano de fe atormentada, Johnny Cash en su disco de 1975. Acabamos el programa con la sorprendente oración a "Jesús" del judío Lou Reed, junto a la mítica formación neoyorquina The Velvet Underground, que creó el artista Andy Warhol. "Jesus" apareció en su disco de 1969, ya sin la cantante y modelo alemana Nico: "¡Jesús, ayúdame a encontrar mi lugar! / En mi debilidad / porque he caído de la Gracia".

 Today if you haven't caught up with the previous episodes, we are now in chapter two, the statement of the problem and part one was an overview of the three defining features of prayer personal. Intercessory and persevering prayer. And then a more comprehensive look at the first feature, personal prayer. Now we enter into part two of chapter two, the statement of the problem experiencing God's power through intercessory prayer. With other burden leaders. And that's probably the key factor to this chapter. It is alongside intercessory prayer is coming alongside other burden leaders to pray. And so as I begin, as always it is with a discussion about. The hero of my dissertation, William Wilberforce, whom I have explained much about, but will do so more in this chapter. The renowned formation of Wilberforce's Clap sect is prominently described through letters of correspondence in John Reinhart's book.

Wilberforce, Clarkson, Wesley. Britain's great abolitionist activist Granville Sharp. Each of these consequential figures of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world were galvanized by the moral power of a modest Quaker teacher who never ventured more than a few miles from his home in Philadelphia: Anthony Benezet. While Benezet was buried in an unmarked grave, his fingerprints are all over the extinction of the Atlantic slave trade and the gathering strength of America's own burgeoning abolitionist movement. He was a figure of global importance, “a saint,” Garry Wills called him, a great bearer to the rest of the world of the American ideals (no matter how compromised) of equality and liberty.Anthony Benezet lived, by chance, at the nexus of radical Christianity and revolutionary democracy, and he fused the power of those two streams of morality in a way that changed lives and challenged political institutions so compellingly that the world became a different place because of him. But for all the magnitude of Benezet's impact, he is largely unknown outside scholars of the period. He does not exist in any meaningful way in the widely read histories and biographies that define and amplify America's historical consciousness.In Anthony Benezet: Quaker, Abolitionist, Anti-Racist (U Georgia Press, 2025), preeminent biographer Dr. David Chanoff tells Benezet's story—who he was, what he did, how he did it, and why it was that William Penn's “Holy Experiment” of Pennsylvania provided the matrix for the historic transformation the abolitionist educator brought about. Indeed, Dr. Chanoff carves out a place for this forgotten American hero as a pioneering figure among those who launched American ideals onto the world stage. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

February 3, 2012 — Kampala businessman Wilberforce Noah Wamala is brutally tortured and stabbed to death inside his own home. His houseboy, Sadiq Mugerwa, also murdered. But this wasn't a random robbery — the killers knew exactly what they wanted. Vital documents stolen, expensive cars left untouched. Original story was reported by Charles Etukuri for the New Vision

Episode Summary: Freedom, tolerance, and human dignity only exist in Christian nations. In this episode, we dive into Tory (Conservative) Member of Parliament Danny Kruger's viral speech on England's Christian foundations, exploring the myth of public neutrality and the consequences of abandoning a moral anchor. From parish life and common law to the sanctity of life and public office, we trace how Christian ideas shaped institutions that protect the weak and restrain the strong—and why leaving that framework vacant invites new “gods” to take their place.We examine the moral vacuum Kruger identifies: the rise of secular ideologies, the growth of Islam in Britain, and the hybrid “woke” creed mixing pagan revivals, Christian heresies, and modernist power theories. Rather than caricatures, we look at what these forces do to families, schools, and civic trust, and why a politics of grievance cannot sustain a free society. Along the way, we wrestle with difficult issues—late-term abortion, assisted dying, and repentance in public life—while charting a path for Christians to reclaim moral authority in politics and culture.From Alfred to Wesley to Wilberforce, history shows that revival can transform nations when the Church acts as the nation's conscience. This conversation invites listeners to take ownership of the ideas, responsibilities, and institutions we inherit—and consider what it will take to restore freedom, truth, and hope for future generations.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

Do you ever wonder if your influence really matters? It's easy to think that change only happens through people with power, position, or a platform, but what if God wants to use your daily interactions, relationships, and choices as part of His bigger plan—right where you are?In this episode, Tracie and Abigail continue the season theme “Cast Down Your Bucket Where You Are” by looking at the early life of William Wilberforce. Long before he became a key figure in ending the British slave trade, Wilberforce learned to let God use his sphere of influence for eternal purposes. With warmth and insight, Tracie and Abigail encourage you to recognize the reach God has already given you and to trust Him to work through it—no matter how small it may seem.If you know of someone who can be helped by listening to the Abundant Living Podcast, please share this episode with them.

Sam's guest in this week's Book Club podcast is the historian Sudhir Hazareesingh, whose new book Daring to Be Free: Rebellion and Resistance of the Enslaved in the Atlantic World reframes the story of Atlantic slavery. He explains why the familiar tale of enlightened Europeans bringing about abolition leaves out the most important voices of all – the enslaved themselves – and how from Africa to Haiti and beyond, traditions of rebellion, resistance and spiritual resilience shaped the struggle for freedom long before Wilberforce or Clarkson entered the picture.

Wisdom For The Weary   #Nightlight #RTTBROS Wisdom For The Weary   #Nightlight #RTTBROS Above All Else: The Focus That Changed Wilberforce If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in gloryWilliam Wilberforce stood at the window of his London home, staring across the Thames with weary eyes. For twenty years, he had fought to abolish the slave trade in the British Empire, and for twenty years, he had failed. Stacks of parliamentary papers cluttered his desk, and letters from both supporters and fierce opponents filled his drawers. His health was deteriorating, and doubts clouded his mind.Throughout his life, Wilberforce was deeply influenced by Scripture broadly. His 1797 book "A Practical View of Christianity" revealed his theological foundations, while his journal entries and letters demonstrated how biblical principles regarding human dignity and justice guided his political career. He was especially moved by passages about loving one's neighbor, caring for the oppressed, and the equality of all people before God.As a young, ambitious politician with wealth and social connections, he had experienced a profound spiritual conversion at age 25. His old friend, former slave-ship captain John Newton, now a minister and author of "Amazing Grace", had counseled him not to abandon politics but to use his position for God's purposes.Though he never specifically cited it, the powerful truth in Colossians 3 perfectly summarizes Wilberforce's transformed focus in life. While his peers pursued political power, wealth, and status, he set his mind on higher things, the dignity of every human being created in God's image. This heavenly focus made him willing to endure earthly scorn.Year after year, he introduced anti-slavery bills. Year after year, they were defeated. His political opponents mocked him as a religious fanatic. Business interests slandered him as an economic saboteur. Even some friends suggested he choose a more achievable cause."Perhaps I should focus elsewhere," Wilberforce confided to his journal one night. "Twenty years of failure wears on a man's soul."Many times when he opened his Bible. Those words renewed his resolve. His focus wasn't meant to be on immediate results but on faithfulness to his calling. He wasn't working primarily for earthly approval but for heavenly purposes.With refreshed determination, Wilberforce continued the fight. His heavenly focus gave him earthly perseverance. In 1807, the Slave Trade Act finally passed, abolishing the slave trade throughout the British Empire. Twenty-six years later, just three days before his death in 1833, he received news that slavery itself would be abolished across the British colonies.Wilberforce's life embodies the wisdom of Paul's words in Colossians. By setting his mind on things above, he changed things on earth. By living as though his true life was hidden with Christ, he found courage to face opposition. By focusing on heavenly glory rather than earthly acclaim, he left a legacy that transformed millions of lives.Like Wilberforce, we face choices daily about where to set our minds. When we focus on things above, we gain the perspective and perseverance to fulfill our calling below.Prayer: Lord, like Wilberforce, help me fix my focus on heavenly values rather than earthly validation. Remind me that my true identity is hidden with Christ, giving me courage to pursue Your purposes even when progress seems slow. May my heavenly focus produce earthly faithfulness. Amen.#WilberforceWisdom #PerseverantFocus #HeavenlyPerspectiveBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.https://linktr.ee/rttbros

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Five Mere ChristiansDevotional: 4 of 5Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. (Matthew 13:34)Jesus revealed God's kingdom primarily through culture rather than politics. He never sought a seat on the Sanhedrin or in the Roman Senate. Instead, he changed the world with parables—tiny tales that stirred hearts to long for God's kingdom.Yet despite Jesus's example, many Christians put far more faith in political solutions than cultural ones to fix the world's problems today. We believe electing the “right people” and appointing the “right judges” will finally bring God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.This mindset explains why William Wilberforce, a member of the British Parliament in the 18th century, gets the lion's share of the credit for abolishing the slave trade—even though historians and Wilberforce himself gave equal credit to Hannah More, a poet, playwright, and novelist who outsold her contemporary Jane Austen ten-to-one. Eric Metaxas, a biographer of both Wilberforce and More, says, “How Wilberforce came to be the chief champion of abolition...has everything to do with Hannah More.” While Wilberforce worked to change politicians' minds, More worked to change the people's hearts through art that exposed slavery's horrors.Jesus's parables and Hannah More's poetry point to an important truth: We mere Christians glorify God by advancing his kingdom culturally and not just politically.What might this mean for you today? Consider abortion as a case study. Murder has no place in the kingdom of God. And so it is right to ask the question, “What is the political response to this problem?” But the far more powerful question is, “What is my creative response to this problem?” If you're an artist like Hannah More, your response might be to write stories and songs that break people's hearts toward orphans and birth parents. If you're a business leader, it could be creating generous maternity and paternity policies or funding adoptions for employees. If you work in a café, it might mean setting up a board with resources for pregnancy centers.Here's my point: Please don't wait for politicians to reveal God's kingdom—be the creator who makes it visible today. Whatever the issue is—abortion, racial injustice, gender transitioning, pollution, etc.— glorify God not just by working to change things politically but first and foremost culturally. Because as Andy Crouch said, “The only way to change culture is to create more of it.”

William Wilberforce was used by God to change the world. Many historians recognize the impact of his life, but fail to see the real reason why his life was so deeply impacting. They see qualities like perseverance, determination, and extraordinary compassion as the catalyst to his greatness. But though those qualities were essential to the make-up of the man, the true power of William Wilberforce goes much deeper than that. Wilberforce was a godly man and that was his great secret. He was a wholly honest and trustworthy person who genuinely loved all people and desired them to be free to live in liberty. The honorable nature of this man still reverberates in and through history two hundred years later.

Readiness is a vastly underrated quality of the healthy Christian life. But, readiness doesn't come about accidentally. A believer needs to practice and train in readiness. And if it isn't practiced, then the believer will be found unready in the moment where alertness, action, and agreement is desperately needed. The quality of readiness is one of the beautiful hallmarks of William Wilberforce's life. And it is one of the chief reasons why his life impacted the world.------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Leslie, Nathan, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more resources, books, and sermons from Eric Ludy by going to: https://ellerslie.com/about-eric-ludy/

What would it be like if we as the Church of Jesus were to put aside our differences and, instead, cherish our common faith in our amazing Savior? This was Christ's vision, His passion, His great desire. But, for some reason, we, as His Church, have greatly struggled to make this our vision, passion, and desire. William Wilberforce discovered the beauty of this spiritual unity in his work with the Clapham community back in the early 19th century. And the unity they shared sponsored one of the greatest and most transformative works of grace in the past two thousand years.

The Christian life is a bit counter-intuitive at first (ie. the least is the greatest, the servant is the leader, and weakness is a place of strength). It takes a bit for the newly budded Christian to grasp such an upside down pattern, but when it's finally grasped, the path opens up for great spiritual growth and maturity. This message focuses on the arduous year of 1793 in Great Britain—a year of war, famine, and economic instability—and it showcases how difficulty can actually be a good thing—a tremendously beneficial thing when embraced and received with faith. ------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Leslie, Nathan, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more resources, books, and sermons from Eric Ludy by going to: https://ellerslie.com/about-eric-ludy/

The Christian life is intended to get stronger and stronger and stronger with time. Unfortunately, this hasn't been the experience of many believers in the modern era. But that isn't because it isn't God's pattern, it's because often modern Christians are lacking the key ingredient of persistence in their walk. They give up at the first sign of challenge—they give up when they reach the first obstacle. Ancient Christianity is built on the premise that when you are knocked down you get up, and you keep getting up after every single knock down until finally you breakthrough and knock out your opponent. William Wilberforce is an amazing picture of this indomitable perseverance.

Als William Wilberforce sein Leben Gott übergab, verachteten viele in seinem sozialen Umfeld sein enthusiastisches christliches Engagement. Wilberforce erkannte die Absicht Gottes, seine politische Position zur Abschaffung des Sklavenhandels zu nutzen. Die zermürbende Arbeit, der Widerstand gegen seine Ideen und die Verachtung für seinen Glauben griffen seine ohnehin schon schwache Gesundheit an, aber er verlor nie den Mut. Nach 20 Jahren des Kampfes schaffte das Parlament den britischen Sklavenhandel ab und nach weiteren 30 Jahren verbot es die Sklaverei in allen britischen Kolonien.

There are two particular behaviors that are strangely missing in many Christian lifestyle patterns today. The first is sharing the Gospel with the lost. And the second is sharing one's resources and time with the poor and needy. For many in the Western Christian culture, these behavioral functions (though theologically highly esteemed) have been relegated to an almost mythical fictitious status—as if they are something to intellectually believe are correct but are not practically expected to be implemented in the Christian life. Ironically, these two behavioral functions have been deemed two of the most important throughout Church history and, therefore, getting them back into our behavioral arsenal is of the utmost importance.

The Body of Christ is uniquely designed as a purging agent of cultural fungus. But to effectively wipe out the demonic ideas and the sinful societal fog of the hour, the Church needs to do its cleansing work in accordance with the Christ pattern. And this involves a two-handed approach to the work of rescue and resuscitation. In other words, both the right and left hands are needed to carry out the job. The head and heart are both essential and mustn't be disconnected. And truth and mercy must both attend the work and the two must never be estranged. When we emphasize one side over and above the other side, the cultural fungus just laughs at our do-gooder attempts. The secret is found in both hands working in perfect coordination according to the perfect mixture as assigned by the Holy Spirit. ------------» Take these studies deeper and be discipled in person by Eric, Leslie, Nathan, and the team at Ellerslie in one of our upcoming discipleship programs – learn more at: https://ellerslie.com/be-discipled/» Receive our free “Five Keys to Walking Through Difficulty” PDF by going to: https://ellerslie.com/subscribe/» For more information about Daily Thunder and the ministry of Ellerslie Mission Society, please visit: https://ellerslie.com/daily» If you have been blessed by Ellerslie, consider partnering with the ministry by donating at: https://ellerslie.com/donate/» Discover more resources, books, and sermons from Eric Ludy by going to: https://ellerslie.com/about-eric-ludy/

William Wilberforce is one of those rare men in history that lived life as God intended life to be lived. He boldly acted on behalf of Truth—risking his life, forsaking his comforts, and letting go of his reputation—and, therefore, altered the course of world-history. Many men of antiquity can clearly be deemed culpable for the downward trajectory of nations, but few men in history can actually be pinpointed to have turned their entire culture in the direction of God. William Wilberforce is one of them. Because of Wilberforce, the wicked practice of slavery was completely abolished in England in 1833. This massive work of 48 years can all be traced back to a day in 1785 when William Wilberforce awakened. May the same soul awakening happen within all of us. ReplyReply allForwardAdd reaction

In June 1860, just seven months after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species, three men hotly debated the merits of Darwin's argument at a meeting of the British Association. Biologist Thomas Henry Huxley and botanist Joseph Hooker defended Darwin's theory. English bishop, speaker, and writer Samuel Wilberforce critiqued it. And though he was a man of the cloth, Wilberforce did not build a theological case against Darwin. Rather, he evaluated the argument for natural selection on scientific grounds, exposing its "loose statements and unfounded speculations" by weighing it "in the simple scales of logical examination." On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid treats you to excerpts from Wilberforce's powerful critique, published as a review a month after the debate in Quarterly Review. Source
