Benjamin Zephaniah – Spoken passage from @LoyleCarner's hopefully!
He understood that anger doesn’t come from nowhere. Hunger, poverty, poor housing and injustice leave people feeling unheard.
The pen is mightier than the sword.

Please pray for Jacion. He’s ten, struck by a pickup truck at a crosswalk and thrown several feet. He has a fractured skull, broken femur, broken pelvis and is still in serious condition. God mends what the impact shatters. He is able! He is bigger! Thank you.

No one on this planet has the right to gamble with our children’s future.
Sign the petition at Voicesfor1point5.org and help us build a movement of 1.5 billion voices for 1.5 degrees.
Every year of delay is paid for in homes, livelihoods and lives. The people carrying that cost have every right to demand more. Funding that reaches their communities, protection before disaster strikes and leaders who honour their commitments.
At @turkiyecop31 COP31, I issued a challenge that reaches far beyond the conference hall. Our future is too important for any of us to remain silent.

and years will be added to your life.

The African and African-American communities are standing UNITED in the fight for justice for 15-year-old Javits Frimpong, fatally shot on his way to school. Across the diaspora, we must stand as brothers and sisters to demand truth, justice, and accountability!

Jesus and Wisdom in Proverbs 8
Paul calls Jesus “the wisdom of God” and says He “became wisdom from God for us” (1 Corinthians 1:24, 30).
With that in mind, listen to Wisdom speak in Proverbs 8.
The parallels are remarkable.
1. “Adonai possessed me at the beginning of His way. - Proverbs 8:22
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.” - John 1:1
Jesus did not begin at Bethlehem. He was with the Father before creation began.
2. “From everlasting I was established.” - Proverbs 8:23
“Glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world existed.” - John 17:5
Wisdom speaks of an existence reaching back before the world. Jesus speaks of the glory He shared with the Father before the world existed.
3. “Before the depths were, I was brought forth. - Proverbs 8:24
“He is before all things.” -Colossians 1:17
Before oceans, mountains, nations, or humanity, Jesus already was.
4. “Before the mountains were settled… I was brought forth.” - Proverbs 8:25
“You loved Me before the foundation of the world.” - John 17:24
The relationship between the Father and the Son did not begin within creation. It existed before creation.
5. “When He had not yet made the earth and fields.” - Proverbs 8:26
“All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” - John 1:3
Jesus is not merely part of the created world. The created world came into being through Him.
6. “When He established the heavens, I was there.” - Proverbs 8:27
“Through whom also He made the worlds.” - Hebrews 1:2
Wisdom was present when God established the heavens. The New Testament says the worlds were made through the Son.
7. “When He marked out the foundations of the earth.” - Proverbs 8:29
“In Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, the seen and the unseen.” - Colossians 1:16
Jesus was not absent from the work of creation. All creation came into being in Him, through Him, and for Him.
8. “Then I was beside Him, as a master craftsman.” - Proverbs 8:30
“Through Him all things were made.” - John 1:3
Wisdom stands beside God in the work of creation. The New Testament places Jesus in that same divine work.
9. “I was His delight day by day.” - Proverbs 8:30
“This is My Son, whom I love. With Him I am well pleased.” - Matthew 3:17
Wisdom is the Father’s delight. Jesus is the beloved Son in whom the Father delights.
10. “Rejoicing in His whole world and delighting in mankind.” - Proverbs 8:31
“The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” - John 1:14
The One present before creation did not remain distant from humanity. He entered our world and lived among us.
11. “Blessed is the one who listens to me.” - Proverbs 8:34
“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it.” - Luke 11:28
Wisdom does not merely ask to be admired. Wisdom calls us to listen, learn, and obey.
12. “Whoever finds me finds life.” - Proverbs 8:35
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
John 14:6
“He who has the Son has the life.” - 1 John 5:12
Finding Wisdom means finding life. The New Testament says life is found in the Son.
13. “All who hate me love death.” - Proverbs 8:36
“Unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” - John 8:24
Rejecting divine Wisdom is not intellectually neutral. It is the rejection of the life God offers.
Proverbs 8 presents Wisdom poetically as a woman calling in the streets. It does not simply say, “Wisdom is Jesus.”
But when the New Testament calls Jesus the Wisdom of God, places Him with the Father before creation, says the universe was made through Him, and declares that life is found in Him, the echoes of Proverbs 8 become difficult to miss.
Jesus is not only a teacher of wisdom.
He is the Wisdom of God revealed among us.

HOME OFFICE CALLED PAULETTE WILSON ILLEGAL AFTER 50 YEARS
Paulette Wilson had to report to a Home Office centre every 2 weeks for 2 years.
The Home Office had told her she was an illegal immigrant. She'd lived in Britain for nearly 50 years.
She was one of the Windrush generation, people who came from the Caribbean as children in the 1950s and 60s and had every right to be here. Paulette had left Jamaica at 10, nearly 50 years earlier.
For a few days she told nobody, because she was too scared to tell her daughter. From that month she had to report to a Home Office centre in Wolverhampton every 2 weeks.
She kept going for 2 years. On 18 October 2017 the Home Office detained her at that centre. She spent 6 days in Yarl's Wood immigration removal centre, then was moved to Heathrow ahead of a flight to Jamaica. Her MP stepped in at the last minute.
Paulette then went public with Amelia Gentleman at the Guardian. The Guardian reported that her decision encouraged dozens of others to come forward. She won leave to remain in January 2018.
On 19 March 2020 an independent review by Wendy Williams found the scandal was foreseeable and avoidable. In June 2020 the Home Secretary, Priti Patel, committed to implementing all 30 of its recommendations.
Paulette Wilson died on 23 July 2020, aged 64. A month earlier she had delivered a petition to Downing Street.
On 7 December 2022 Suella Braverman, then Home Secretary, decided not to proceed with 3 of those recommendations. She told Parliament in January 2023 that she had considered officials' advice.
In April 2024 Home Office lawyers told the High Court the recommendations were not legally binding. On 19 June 2024 Mrs Justice Heather Williams ruled that dropping 2 of them was unlawful. She found it indirectly discriminated against Windrush victims, and that nobody had consulted the Windrush community or Wendy Williams first.
Trevor Donald, a Windrush victim, brought the case. Black Equity Organisation, which intervened, argued that institutional racism shaped the decision. The Home Office said it was carefully considering the judgment.
In March 2026 David Hanson, Lord Hanson of Flint, answered for the Home Office in the Lords. He said it is in the final stages of reviewing all 30 recommendations.
Almost 6 years after accepting them, the Home Office is nearly done reviewing them.
What I want answered is what it has decided on the 2 recommendations the court found it was unlawful to drop. One was a Migrants' Commissioner to speak up for people affected by the immigration system. The other was a review of the powers of the chief inspector of borders and immigration.
Paulette Wilson never saw the Home Office drop 3 of those recommendations.
