This week on Rev Dan’s Round Up, the headlines tell a story of tension and truth across the Church, but also of courage, conviction, and hope. The Living in Love and Faith process has left the Church of England more divided than ever, as bishops, deans, and clergy clash over blessing same sex relationships and biblical authority. While the hierarchy wavers, thousands of ordinary believers are stepping out in faith, from churches joining the Shine Your Light prayer weekend across Britain, to evangelist Ben Jack urging the global Church not to dilute the gospel at the World Evangelical Alliance Assembly. At the same time, persecuted Christians in Nigeria continue to rebuild their churches brick by brick, showing the world that the gospel is fireproof. In Finland, MP Päivi Räsänen and Bishop Juhana Pohjola face their nation’s Supreme Court for quoting Scripture, a case that will decide whether biblical truth can still be spoken in Europe without fear. And even as truth stands trial, the Word of God keeps running free, with Wycliffe Bible Translators celebrating Scripture now available in over 4,000 languages worldwide. Through it all, one message stands clear. The Church may be shaking, but the Kingdom is not. Christ is still building His Church in the courtroom, in the refugee camp, in the streets, and in the heart that refuses to give up on truth.
