Lighthouse Daily – 26th December 2025
Good evening,
We pray you had a very Merry Christmas.
In the following update, as with before, we will bring you:
- Today’s Update
- Today’s Daily Two-Tier Injustice Example
- Lighthouse Associates Feedback
1. Today’s Update
Listen to today’s update in the audio below:
Good evening, everyone. Happy Boxing Day. I hope you had a good Christmas. I had a very quiet one with my wolves in the mountains and one of my favorite brothers in Christ, Chris.
As we move forward this year forward as Lighthouse, forward with the Lighthouse News Magazine, forward with the Lighthouse Circular, forward with our work, I want to share two core things with you that sit right at the top of the Lighthouse Charter.
I. The First Aim of the Charter: Completing the Body of Christ
The first element, the first aim of our Lighthouse Charter is this:
To complete the body of Christ.
Not in some vague, poetic sense, but in the eyes of God, with the Spirit of God, in real sum and substance.
God has said that there is such a thing as the last person who will come into the body of Christ. When that last person comes to Christ, God moves to the next stage of His plan.
That next stage moves us:
• towards the kingdom,
• towards Armageddon,
• towards a greater revelation,
• whether people see it as pre‑trib, mid‑trib, post‑trib, no‑trib or anything else.
Different Christians see these timelines differently. Many think it is pre‑trib, some mid‑trib, others post‑trib, others “no‑trib.” One thing is absolutely certain: we will all find out the truth at some point. And I am not cocky about any of this, because over and over again in my life I find that things I once believed, I simply do not believe anymore. My understanding changes in kind and in degree as God keeps teaching me.
But I want to be very clear:
Every generation has a responsibility to find every person God is calling in that generation. We are living in what I refer to as the last generation in a series of generations.
Somewhere in this last stretch of history is that very last person to be found through the love of God, through the work of His body, through the work of the Holy Spirit.
When that last person comes to Christ, God “clicks into gear” and moves the plan to the next stage. Only He knows who that last person is. Only He knows when that will be.
So the first and foremost commitment in our Charter is this:
To make sure that every single person appointed to the body of Christ finds their way home.
It is, in that sense, a “numbers game” – but not a shallow marketing number. It is the fullness of the body, running back thousands of years, generations upon generations, finally completed.
II. The Second Aim of the Charter: Raising Character and Competence
While we are working to get everyone in, there is a second aim:
To raise the level of character and competence of those who are already in the body.
That includes me. That includes you. With your will and your permission, God wants to:
• Raise our character.
• Raise our competence.
• Raise our ability to deal with cause and effect.
• Raise our ability to produce resources and real value.
Why? So that we never have to say “no” where we ought to say “yes” when Jesus has commanded us to serve.
Never have to say no to one orphan who needs help. Never have to say no to one hungry child. Never have to say no when someone genuinely asks and God has commanded us to give.
Jesus makes this very clear:
Never say no to those who ask of you.
But look at the world right now. We live in a culture that says:
“Yes, yes, great idea, yes, hopefully someday…” But in practice, it is “no, no, no, we can’t, we won’t, we don’t have enough.”
Personally, I am already extremely helpful to many people. There are people who will tell you that if it were not for the work we are doing together here in South Africa they would not have an income, they would not eat, some schools would not be able to stay open, some children would not be able to go to school at all.
And yet, I am nowhere near scratching the surface. I still have to say no 99.9999999999% of the time.
The body of Christ together, working together in unity, can and must produce more, by the grace of God, so that we never have to say no where we ought to say yes in service, never have to say no where we ought to say yes in generosity, giving, and care.
III. How God Answers Prayer About Our Potential
When does God always answer prayer?
He always answers when:
He has already commanded us to be a certain way; to see in a certain way; to do in a certain way; to give in a certain way; to develop a certain level of character and competence.
If God has asked us to become a certain kind of person in terms of our character and competence then He will supply that character and competence.
What He will not do is this:
We cannot pray, “Lord, let us never have to say no where we ought to say yes,” and then expect that at 5 a.m. tomorrow morning five trillion dollars will float down from the sky on a golden platter.
That is not how God does it.
God has given us potential. That potential has been muted and neutered by the establishment – the non‑God‑fearing, self‑adoring, self‑aggrandising elite, and then we have been muted in relation to our own potential. That includes me, that includes you, that includes us.
The difference between me and many others is simply how awake my eyes are to what has been done to us. Others see more than I do, some see less, but I am one of those whose eyes have been opened far enough that I can now share the evidence and the findings with you.
So again, the first two elements of the Charter – and they are the most powerful we have – are:
1. To complete the body of Christ in terms of capacity and fullness.
2. To build the character and competence of that body in Christ’s Spirit and God’s Love.
This is Psalms 1:
Like a tree planted by streams of water,
whose leaf does not wither,
and whatever it does prospers in its season.
God wants us to live in such a way that, in season, everything we do for Him succeeds. Not for our ego, but in service. So that:
• We never have to say no when we ought to say yes,
• We can say a firm no when we ought to say no,
• We have the resources to fulfill Jesus’ command not to refuse those who truly ask in need.
There is no excuse for us not to develop the potential He gave us.
IV. The Church Under the Kingdom of Darkness (KOD)
Right now, I will tell you plainly:
The body of Christ is reeling under the kingdom of darkness.
The KOD has infiltrated our minds, our souls, our being. I would go as far as to say that the church today is more affected by the KOD than by the church itself, by and large.
The Bible warns us about this:
• It says that the greater number will cool off.
• It points to a church that is deeply compromised and indoctrinated.
The KOD is headed by a ruling establishment, an elite, that has deep historical roots, running back over centuries, and satanic roots running back over millennia.
Do not get distracted by the shallow, surface‑level establishment you can trace from the 1970s onwards. There are families and power structures at the top that stretch much further back.
Meanwhile, as Christians we are deeply indoctrinated by culture and brainwashed by the cult of cults that is the KOD and its establishment.
This is the reality we are facing as we talk about completing and raising the body of Christ.
V. See–Be–Do–Get–Give: From Charter Aims to Action
I said I would keep it short tonight. Tomorrow I want to share with you the first two things on the Charter that we need to do in order to: See, be, do, get, and give.
We will look at what we need to see, who we need to be, what we need to do, what we need to get, what we need to give, in terms of: our character, our competence, our ability to work with cause and effect, how we solve problems, how we find and fulfill opportunities, how we convert problems into real value.
There are two key things we will talk about tomorrow: Truth and Love.
VI. Truth: The First Element of Love
What does Jesus say?
“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”
He is the way.
He is the truth.
He is the life.
So truth is central to everything:
• Truth is essential to fulfilling the body.
• Truth is essential to raising the body through character and competence.
• Truth is essential to how we understand and live love.
The church is already involved in bringing the Word of God, and thank God for that.
Our work at Lighthouse is to help people develop their skills, develop their knowledge, develop their ability to act, execute, and implement. So that we do not keep saying no where we ought to say yes. We want to reach a point where, if we say: “We want to feed all the children in the world that God is calling us to serve,” we can move, in obedience, in that direction.
Take a simple example: If I see a child starving on the road, hurt and broken, I do not need to ask, “Father, should I help this child, or should I walk on so I am not late for church?”
No. God says: Skip church. Use your resources. Help this child. Love this child, good Samaritan. That is the pattern.
We must never be in a position where a brother or sister is being attacked by the KOD, is reeling and desperate, and the body of Christ cannot rally meaningful help.
It is insane that we do not have a central place to call and say, “Brother, sister, I need help,” systems of communication and coordination that actually work.
The KOD has hotlines. The world has 911, 999, and many other numbers.
Where is the Christian emergency number?
Where is the “000” of the body of Christ? It does not exist. That is crazy. It is embarrassing.
Lighthouse is here, on the back of 21 years of research, to help put these things together in God’s name and in His will. To make something real and functional for the body.
VII. Love and its True Enemy: Selfishness
So tomorrow we will talk more about: the first two elements of the Charter (building the body in quantity and quality), and the first two action points of the Charter.
The first action point, in God and in prayer, is love. And the first element of love is truth. You cannot love without truth. Truth is a form of love. Love is our subject, and the first element of love is truth. Truth is how we move out of non‑love and anti‑love into true love, the love of God. Truth is how we see reality as God sees it.
God is Love.
All that is truly love is of God. Anything that is not love is what has fallen away from Him and has been perverted from that love.
We will also look at the main enemy of love. And it is not hate. Hate is too easy. The opposite of love is selfishness.
That is where Adam and Eve fell: not primarily through hate, not even first and foremost through pride, but through selfishness.
We have spent 21 years studying selfishness, and we now distinguish:
• negative toxic selfishness, and
• what we call positive selfishness in distorted forms.
You will be amazed at what we have learned about selfishness, and how it affects the body of Christ and our potential.
So we will talk about: the first two Charter elements again – building the body in quantity and quality, and the first two action points – truth and love, love and truth.
We will also begin to show just how terrible it is when truth and love are misunderstood, the body does not understand what it is meant to be doing, and our understanding of our potential has been neutered by the KOD.
VIII. Closing and Prayer
Listen to Paul’s prayer starting at 19:22 in the audio above.
I will leave this with you and pray.
Father, thank you for the session. Thank you for Christmas. Thank you for your Son. Thank you for His incarnate being. Thank you for His presence here. What our Lord did in three years. Three years. I know how long it’s taken us at Lighthouse—21 years. And you can go back 20 years in my life before that. That led to it. Led to Lighthouse. So I did probably 41–42 years I’ve been working on this subject… Why we don’t live up to our potential, Father. Why we don’t live up to the God-given potential You bestowed upon us and died for us as humans.
That we’re so low in our development. So low. Even though we’re imperfect, we use that as an excuse. “Oh, we’re imperfect. We’re sinful.” We’re still at one or two, or maybe one or less, of where we ought to be. Even if we weren’t perfect, we should be nine, ten steps ahead… We are still way lower as humans, Father, than we ought to be, even though we’re sinful. But we use that as an excuse. “Oh, we’re sinful.” “Oh, we’re imperfect.” Instead of going, “Yeah, well, what is the best we can be as imperfect people, given your human endowments, given your godly endowments on us?”
Father, it is an unmitigated privilege for us to share this. What a privilege. What a joy. My Lord, what a joy… what a privilege, Father, to be able to share these findings that run into millions of pages. Millions. Millions of pages of research, of discussions, feedback, interviews, study, millions of pages of blood, sweat, tears, pain, suffering, for Your glory. And now we have an opportunity to share with people that don’t have to go through 42 years—they can get it in 42 minutes, the basics, the overview of it. What a privilege to go to our brothers and sisters and say, “This is the time of the end, let’s skill up, let’s prep. You know, this is the end times; it’s going to be hard, let’s get it right.”
We’re fighting a war, my Lord. And You are our commander-in-chief. A spiritual war is what we’re fighting. And a spiritual war often leads to the flesh, and pain and suffering, and whatever else. Spiritual war doesn’t only have spiritual effects. It has very much physical, human effects. Very much theochristological effects. Very much religious effects. Very much human, material, financial effects.
Spiritual war isn’t only spiritual. It affects everything. Everything. What created everything is the spirit. You. The eternal and infinite, glorious Spirit that is You. Father, we pray for the innocents. We pray for the vulnerable. We pray for where we get it wrong.
Father, we ask You to please forgive us, and we ask You to please, Father, to please, my Lord… Accept our repentance as we do so with bowed heads and bended knees.
We thank You, through Your Son, Jesus Christ’s name.
Amen.
2. Today’s Daily Two-Tier Injustice Example
Innocent Man Jailed After 18 years in Prison And Prosecutors Object!
How much faith do you have in the justice system? Have you grown up like many of us at Lighthouse believing that while politics is partisan, and that surely the justice system is impartial and dedicated to the truth? That it will only convict someone if they are proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt?
In today’s example of Establishment control, we see how an innocent man was convicted of rape. When his defence team realised that DNA evidence would find him innocent they were shocked to find that the original prosecutors were hellbent on preventing his release!
This example is another example of “incomporruption.” Instead of owning up to their mistakes, Establishment institutions will go to great lengths to cover up their incompetence. Hence corruption covers up their original incompetence.
We can see this in other examples such as the Hillsborough tragedy and the Post Office scandal, where officials for these organisations deliberately lied to cover up their mistakes. They were prepared to see other people go to prison rather than admit their mistakes. We know this full well at Lighthouse in our own experiences over the last five years, not least with employees like Michael Bint of the Insolvency Service
This is why it is imperative that as citizens we come together to learn to protect ourselves and understand the strategies of the Establishment and their desire to control us against our best interests.
3. Lighthouse Associates Feedback
This Christmas Day, the Lighthouse associates shared their thoughts and reflections on the day with me in the following feedback:
Collective Feedback 25.12.2025
As we reflect together on Christmas Day, we recognise a shared and deeply felt desire to return to the true meaning of Christ’s incarnation, not as a moment confined to a church service or tradition, but as a lived, ongoing reality shaping the whole of our day and our lives. Across our reflections, we sense a collective awakening to how much depth, history, and meaning there is in the Gospel—far more than many of us had previously explored or prioritised—and a growing gratitude for being drawn into that richness now.
We are united in gratitude for Christ Himself: that He alone pays for sin, that salvation is not about our moral effort or being a “good person,” but about what He has done and still does for us. This distinction has become sharper and more precious to us, especially as we compare Christianity with other belief systems and with the diluted versions of faith often presented by culture or even parts of the church. We feel more aware than ever that truth is costly, confrontational, and inseparable from Christ, yet also life-giving and freeing.
This Christmas has also brought a strong sense of family. Being together—physically for some, spiritually for all—has felt healing, grounding, and restorative. We recognise that the group present now is not accidental. This year has been far more challenging than many of us ever expected, marked by trials, pruning, loss, and testing, yet we can see how those very pressures have forged deeper bonds, greater clarity, and a stronger sense of who we are together. There is grief for deep flaws, imperfection and what has been difficult, but also gratitude for what has been refined and preserved in our hearts by God’s grace.
Several of us experienced renewal in different forms: through church services that felt genuinely welcoming and Spirit-filled; through quiet time in Scripture; through serving others rather than indulging ourselves; and through moments of joy, rest, and celebration that did not feel like escapism, but like God-given provision after a hard season. We acknowledge honestly that these moments also exposed our ongoing struggles—pride, jealousy, the desire for recognition, confusion, or immaturity—but we see even these exposures as gifts from God, revealing what still needs to be healed and surrendered.
We also recognise that Christmas itself has become a quiet act of resistance: choosing reflection over frenzy, service over self, Christ over consumption. Several of us feel this has been one of the most meaningful Christmases we can remember—not because it was easy, but because it was centred, calm, and honest. It reminded us that joy is not indulgence, but celebration rooted in truth, relationship, and gratitude.
Looking ahead, we do not feel naïve optimism. We anticipate further testing, increased chaos, and deeper challenges—spiritually, culturally, and practically. Yet alongside that realism is a steadier confidence: that God is sovereign, His plans are unassailable, His light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. We sense that our calling now is to grow up in faith, to love one another more deeply, strengthen our connections, and become more capable of standing, serving, and adding value together as one Body of Christ.
In this shared space of gratitude, humility, joy, and resolve, we give thanks for Christ, for one another, and for the family we are becoming. We ask for the grace to endure, the courage to face what is to come, the discernment to stay anchored in truth, and the love to remain united through it all. God bless us all, and may we rest—and rise—in Christ Jesus. x x x

16th Dec, 2025 – Lighthouse Tuesday Update – Understanding the Establishment and Why They Fear Your Potential
Hi everyone,
We are collectively struck by how confronting and necessary this work is. Across our reflections, we recognise that Paulie’s update has forced us to look honestly at ourselves — particularly at the selfishness, resistance to truth, fear, scarcity thinking, and distortions we still carry. This is uncomfortable, even painful, but we agree that this discomfort is not a flaw in the work; it is evidence that it is reaching something real and fundamental in us.
We see a shared recognition that the Lighthouse Charter is not symbolic or abstract. We understand it as grounded in God’s actual design, timing, and responsibility for humanity. The idea that the Body of Christ must be completed, through reaching the very last elect, reframes everything. It shifts us away from passive belief, speculation, or comfort, and into responsibility, participation, and urgency. For some of us, this target initially felt unbelievable or overwhelming; for others, it resonated immediately. Yet we are coming to agree that its scale is precisely what confirms it as God’s aim rather than a human one.
Alongside this, we are seeing more clearly the second aim of the Charter — raising the Body of Christ in both character and competence — as inseparable from the first. We acknowledge how underdeveloped we are in our ability to deal with cause and effect, to give consistently, to act decisively, and to say “yes” where we ought to say yes. Many of us feel the weight of this gap acutely: the tension between what we believe and how we actually live; between wanting to love and being constrained by fear, scarcity, selfishness, fatigue, or confusion. We differ in how this shows up — whether through internal battles over money, time, energy, confidence, or faith — but we share the recognition that without deliberate development, love collapses into intention without action.
We also share a deepening clarity that selfishness is the true enemy of love. This has pierced us personally. We recognise how profoundly the culture we have been raised in — the KOD — has conditioned us toward self-preservation, individualism, and reluctance to give or receive. Some of us feel this most strongly when faced with material generosity; others when confronted with suffering, responsibility, or the call to sustained service. What unites us is the growing awareness that love, in its true sense, requires capacity, sacrifice, and truth — not sentiment and performance.
Truth itself has emerged as central. We agree that truth is not separate from or opposed to love but is a form of it. Many of us are seeing how distorted versions of Christianity, leadership, and doctrine have avoided truth under the guise of kindness, certainty, or authority. Paulie’s willingness to revise his own beliefs in light of better information has stood out as an important model — one of humility, learning, and faithfulness rather than ego or dominance. This resonates particularly in areas where doctrine has become rigid, performative, or weaponised, and where growth has stalled as a result.
There is also a shared sense that this work is restorative, not merely critical. We see it as an attempt to rebuild what has been fragmented: human potential, collective responsibility, functional unity, and practical systems of care within the Body of Christ. Many of us recognise that the Church, as it currently operates, severely lacks the structures needed to respond meaningfully to real need. The Lighthouse Charter, alongside the wider body of work, feels like an effort to translate truth into action — to create frameworks that allow Christians to serve effectively rather than remain constrained by good intentions alone.
Emotionally and spiritually, we are entering the coming year with a different posture. There is less illusion and delusion about ease or safety as Christians. Several of us are consciously expecting difficulty, opposition, and testing — not with fear, but with sobriety. We recognise that the scale of what lies ahead requires a deeper bond with God, greater reliance on Him, and a willingness to be refined rather than protected from discomfort. Some of us explicitly do not want an ‘easy’ year without challenge and adversity, knowing that ease would produce stagnation rather than growth.
At the same time, we are grateful. We are thankful for the courage, endurance, and faithfulness demonstrated in this work; for the way it has exposed deception without abandoning hope; and for the growing sense of unity forming among us. We feel both humbled by how much we have been given and convicted by how much more responsibility that implies. Where we differ is often in emphasis — whether on theology, character, practical systems, generosity, authority, or stewardship — but these differences feel complementary rather than divisive.
Ultimately, we are coming to a shared understanding: that God is calling us not only to believe, but to become; not only to see truth, but to bear it; and not only to love in word, but in sustained, capable action. We sense that this is a moment of alignment — difficult, demanding, and deeply significant — and we are grateful, sobered, and committed to walking it together. x x
So often I turn away from even seeing other people suffer because I know I can’t do anything to help them right now. Sometimes I can help, but that’s so so few and far between. Saying “no” and becoming more sensitive to when I have to say no, hurts and I want that hurt and pain to embed more in me to become more sensitive, not less sensitive so I can help. What this world, and very sadly, so much churches do not teach, is to focus intensively on developing our CHARACTER in order to develop our competence first, so we can say yes where we ought to, both in our own lives and with others. Thank you Paul for your commitment, your longsuffering and willingness to develop this work and scale it globally. Praise be to God for the existence of this. I anticipate more attack, more obstacles and more challenges from Satan and his minions, and all the more of God’s glory shining through, to say yes to protect and support one another in His Body. God bless you Paul.
Reading this update has caused me to look honestly at myself. The selfishness that exists in me — and in all of us — is so deeply ingrained, almost dyed into the fabric of who we are, and I can see how much of our sin resides there. That feels especially confronting in a world that increasingly celebrates selfishness as the ultimate goal of life, where caring for the poor or the vulnerable is often reduced to virtue signalling rather than genuine love or sacrifice.
What this work highlights so powerfully is how far we have drifted from how we were originally created, and what we were created for. I genuinely believe this — alongside Citizen Intervention Global, the wider media work, and everything in between — is part of a starting point back to truth. Not an easy truth, but a necessary one.
One thing that stood out to me deeply is the question of what it truly means to be a Christian: how much truth we can actually tolerate. I’m seeing in myself just how hard it is to face truth after living within false narratives for so long — even though that truth is exactly where freedom is found, in Christ.
So I pray — for myself first, and for all of us — that we would have the humility and courage to face the truth, accept responsibility for where we are, and move forward in genuine repentance and freedom. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 🙏
Thank you for this update. There is so much here that feels deeply significant, and I pray it bears much fruit in this season. God bless you all, and I pray this Christmas period has been a truly meaningful and spiritually rich time for many. x x
Thank you for sharing more on the Body of Christ, how we need to complete the Body of Christ by finding the very last person, because only then will God carry out what He has promised.
I feel the pain in your voice, wanting to help children, wanting to help the suffering, but still having to say no, when you ought to be able to say yes. I feel that when walking past a homeless person, I want to give them something, to help, I do mange to a times, but not enough. Why? Because I am only now, after 5 decades, starting to learn even 1% of my potential to be able to produce unlimited value so that I will be in a position to say yes where I ought to say yes.
God bless you for this update Paul, and I pray you are healing in Christ.
I look forward to what you will be sharing with us in tomorrow’s update
Thank you Chris and Shaun, God bless us all x x
I really appreciated the further explanation of what the Lighthouse Charter means. Just by someone’s reaction to what the Lighthouse Charter means will communicate so much about them. Firstly completing the Body of Christ in terms of sum and substance ought to be a joy to Christians. If someone identifies as a Christian, but yet is indifferent to this intention, what does that mean about them and their faith?
I’m imagining that someone who’s indifferent to the unification is of another faith or agnostic. If they have no faith or belief in Christianity, then this is an understandable reaction. HOWEVER, if someone is violently opposed to the idea of a united and strong Body of Christ, then that says so much about them as a person, group or indeed the establishment…
Indeed, should anyone be against our mission at Lighthouse, then that says a lot about them. The Daily Mail, the BBC and the Insolvency Service refuse to even acknowledge what we are working towards because their degenerate motives will be exposed. May God help them…
I really appreciate this update and that no matter where you stand on eschatology (pre/post/mid/no trib) that the aim ought to still be to find that last elect. The last member of the Body of Christ. It’s why it’s so important that we share the gospel, that we tell people about Jesus and what He did for us. Especially at Christmas, but all through the year also. For me I realised that it’s the perfect time where God answers our prayers and fills our cups with His blessing and His joy to prepare us for what He has anointed for us in the year to come.
I appreciated Paul being honest about having beliefs that have changed because it demonstrates a lot of humility that he is willing to change what he believes, especially because he is searching for better information and evidence. I think this is critical especially around end-times beliefs where there are so many different opinions and rationales and is an area where there is a lot of controversy amongst Christians. It also models a pattern of continual learning rather than being fixated on a particular doctrine and never challenging that.
I must say that today’s update, has really touched me because for us and for the many we will work with imminently, Paul is laying out how with, in and for Christ, we can contribute and serve in line with what He said after creating humans as male and female in Genesis 1:28. From what I understand, some of what He said is that we are to produce children, populate the earth and to have dominion over all other creatures, and within that, our being fruitful, also means to transform through spiritual maturity to become more like Christ, to lead others to faith and to create beautiful things reflecting God as the Creator.
Here we are, after decades of personal transformative work, through an upbringing based in powerful mentoring, coaching and counselling, able to start to faithfully believe that we will be in a position where we believe even before we see, that the two aims of the Lighthouse Charter, can and will come to fruition. He will provide what we need because we pray and we work in line with what He has commanded of us, to serve, to look after one another, to make disciples, to proclaim the Good News and the numerous other privileges He has graced us with.
This is such a critical message to begin to close the year with and I am looking forward to continuing to learn about and appreciate the Lighthouse Charter.
Thank you for this powerful Boxing Day update. This helps me to see human potential not as something individual or separate, but as part of God’s bigger plan for humanity and for the Body of Christ. The way this update connects the Lighthouse Charter with God’s design, unity, and raising the standard feels so needed to understand.
This really helps to see how all the building blocks are coming together and how truth and love are shown as the glue that makes this work. This feels like a real path in line with God’s plan, whatever challenges lie ahead and despite all the selfishness that is in me.
God bless
The true enemy of love is selfishness?! Yes!! That is absolutely true. I see it in myself and I’m sure anyone with enough honesty will see that in themselves too. This is what we need to overcome personally and collectively in order to move towards never having to say no where we ought to say yes. Yet we are have to swim against the tide of our culture and society to do so.. Just look at what Christmas has become and how perverted away from the spirit of Christ it is today, how commercial and dripping with materialism and self indulgence and self worship. The more I read and dive into scripture, the more disgusted with the world I feel and how much of that world is in me still. I feel a need and want to work on my own character and competence in order to be able to give and to serve so much more and the Lighthouse Charter is right in line with this. God bless Paul and all engaged in this work!
The charter is defining indeed. It’s clear where you stand and what is your intention, and much that is needed in this world. You’re getting to what is core what is needed and not playing with the leaves, seemingly doing good, but really doing the opposite. This work is empowering in all the right areas.
