Inspired by HistoryThe John Jay Diary & New Insight Into America's First International TreatyOn this episode of Inspired by History, Nathan Raab of The Raab Collection tells us about a newly acquired, previously unknown manuscript diary written by Founding Father John Jay during his 1794 London mission to negotiate the Jay Treaty. He describes the treaty as the Washington administration’s first major diplomatic effort to resolve lingering post-Revolution issues including British forts in the Northwest, debts, and impressment at sea, and notes Jay served as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court while negotiating. The diary, passed down in Jay’s family for 230 years and never before offered for sale, meticulously logs Jay’s dail...

FRESH Official PodcastYou Reproduce What You Embody Many labour under the misapprehension that the best way to change others is to control them; to command, to force them. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. The subtle art of influence is so much more powerful as an agent of change. John Newton, once a brutal slave trader, was deeply impacted by the kindness, faith, and persistence of Christians — especially those like William Wilberforce, who later led Britain's abolition movement. Newton eventually turned, became a pastor, and publicly condemned the slave trade he once profited from. Hi...

Wisdom for the HeartLegacies of Light: John NewtonShare a commentStorm, lashes, desertion, and a whispered prayer at the helm—John Newton’s life doesn’t just inspire hymns, it interrogates the heart. We follow his journey from a London boy taught Isaac Watts by a devoted mother to the “Great Blasphemer” hardened by cruelty at sea. A brutal court-martial and an ordeal on a West African island left him scarred and starving, only to be found by a rescue ship sent because a father would not stop searching. Then came the Greyhound’s storm, a first crack of repentance, and—after another fever—a clear-eyed con...

COACH: Church Origins and Church History courtesy of the That’s Jesus Channel0108 – 1797 AD - Wilberforce’s Manifesto - A Practical View of Christianity1797 AD – Wilberforce’s Manifesto: When a Parliamentarian Called Britain Back to “Real Christianity”
Description:
In 1797, as Britain fought revolutionary France and watched its neighbor experiment with “Temples of Reason,” a different kind of revolution quietly appeared on London bookshop counters. William Wilberforce, already known for his exhausting campaign to end the British slave trade, released a thick volume with an even thicker title: A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians… Contrasted with Real Christianity. He wrote not as a cloistered theologian, but as a sitting Member of Parliament who had been shaken years earlier b...

Ken Mercer Show / Mercer Moments in American History LLC"A" Verse - From Slave Trader to Hymnwriter: John Newton’s Journey of GraceJudgment by comparison is easy; courage by confession is harder. We open with Romans 3:23—“all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”—and sit with what all really demands from us: humility instead of hierarchy, repentance instead of rivalry, and a fresh trust that God meets us at our point of need. From there, we trace the stark and complicated life of John Newton, a man shaped by the Atlantic slave trade who became both a pastor and a voice that helped fuel abolition alongside William Wilberforce.The turn...

St John the BelovedIf Christ Be Not RaisedWhat if one claim could carry the whole weight of Christian faith—body, soul, public life, and private sacrifice? We follow Paul in 1 Corinthians 15 to the sharp edge of that question: if Christ is not raised, faith is empty; if he is, then death is a defeated enemy and the whole world opens under his reign.We start by naming what most cultures won’t: death is not natural. It is an intruder. Drawing on Paul’s language and the story of Jesus at Lazarus’s tomb, we show why Christians have permission to grieve fiercely and still ho...

The Whole Life PodcastJohn Coffey: Christianity and the abolition of the slave tradeIt's the 18th Century. Slavery has been a fact of life for millennia, and a new, racialised form is now powering the wealth and expansion of the British Empire. Faced with that reality, the British abolition movement should have been doomed to fail. So where did it come from, why did it take hold, and how did it succeed? To answer those questions, Paul and Grace are joined by Professor John Coffey from the University of Leicester, who specialises in the religion, politics, and ideas of the Protestant Atlantic world from 1600 to 1850.

As the Christian Economist, I operate in two camps: Christians are concerned about the means, and economists are concerned about the ends. It just happens that being a Christian is good for both. The ends are good because we “end up” in heaven, and the means, here on Earth, are a bonus. The apostle Paul said “To live is Christ. To die is gain.” We win either way. Christianity is a “Two-For” CS Lewis quipped, “Aim at heaven and you will get earth th...

The Word Before WorkDeflected Glory and Unfinished SymphoniesSign-up for my free 20 day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com Not to us, Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness. (Psalm 115:1)After decades of working diligently toward his life’s goal, William Wilberforce witnessed the British Parliament vote to abolish the slave trade in 1807. Twenty-six years later, in 1833, Parliament would vote for full emancipation, freeing slaves throughout the British Empire. Wilberforce received the glorious news on his deathbed and went home to be with the Lord three days later...

For William Wilberforce, who had chosen to make abolition of the powerful slave trade the “Great Object” of his life, the persecution was intense.Wil...

The Point by Colson CenterThe Face of God on Earth: Understanding the Imago Dei in 2021What is the image of God? Here's what my friend Dr. Glenn Sunshine said: In the ancient Near East when someone claimed to be the image of a god, it meant that the god had given that person authority to rule in his or her name. The proclaimer was literally the face of God on the earth and had that god's authority to rule. It was the title given to kings. We actually see it in Genesis where God says, “Let Us make man in Our image and let him have dominion.” The image of God is found...
2021-07-1301 minThe Point by Colson CenterYou ARE a Body, Not In OneAt the recent Wilberforce Weekend, Dr. Ryan Anderson offered a succinct but sound statement about the Christian view of the body: "No one is born in the wrong body, because you are not 'in' a body. You are a body." Interestingly, when a colleague tweeted out this line, it was met with astonishment and opposition in the Twitterverse. Here’s why: In place of a Christian understanding of creation, many have instead embraced a new form of an ancient heresy. Gnosticism is the faith that just won’t die. It both rejects the inhe...
2021-05-2801 minThe Point by Colson CenterRebecca McLaughlin Shares on Calling for All Women at Wilberforce WeekendOne of the things that the Christian worldview offers is dignity to women that is not found in other worldviews throughout human history. Author Rebecca McLaughlin spoke about this at our annual Wilberforce Weekend conference. Here is an excerpt from Rebecca’s talk: Sometimes we celebrate and uphold marriage and motherhood at the expense of all other things God calls women to do. Some say a woman’s highest calling is to be a wife and mother. But it is actually to follow Jesus. Some women are called to that as wives, or as wives and mothers. Some...
2021-05-2401 minThe Point by Colson CenterThe Image of God in the Face of PersecutionCan a leader make an impact in culture by recognizing the image of God? Looking at the background of our 2020-2021 Wilberforce Award recipient, the answer is a resounding yes. We recognize Pastor Bob Fu’s tireless advocacy for tens of millions of Chinese Christians who live under constant threat of persecution. After converting to Christianity post-college, Doctor Fu became active in the Chinese house church movement. He and his wife, Heidi, were jailed for “illegal evangelism.” After their release, they fled to Hong Kong and then to the U.S. In 2002, Fu founded ChinaAid to support the pe...

The world loves to laugh. Comedians will always have an audience. People don’t like kill-joys who ruin the party. Yet Jesus says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Mt 5:4). He doesn’t mean that God’s people are always to be gloomy or morose.
Still less is he saying they are to wallow in self-pity.
