What Does It Mean To Love As a Child of God?

“let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” — 1 John 3:18

To love is a Christian commandment. So, how can we be more faithful and obedient by increasing our capability to love?

Last week we shared the critical importance of recognising and openly receiving God’s Love.

Now we move on to what it means to grow in our love as a child of God.

To do this, we need to be clear about what it truly means to love according to God’s Living Word (1 Corinthians 13), not man’s perverted interpretation of love based on Hollywood and selfishness.

This video explains Agape Love as the highest form of love described in the Bible:

Agape Love is about self-sacrifice, constructive, volitional action and not warm, fuzzy feelings.

As we grow in our understanding of what love means, we can start to appreciate more what it means to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30).

Revealing How Lighthouse Tried To Help Richard Thomas Despite His Diabolical Wife

“With such nagging she prodded him day after day until he was sick to death of it.” — Proverbs 18:17

If you are unfamiliar with who Richard Thomas really is, you can read a brief summary here:

A Brief Summary on Richard Thomas

Richard Thomas came to Lighthouse desperately in need of support, largely in his personal life as a father and a husband; both areas in which he was severely failing in. We will be expanding much more in detail about this tragic case throughout the week. Today, we will share a brief introduction:

  • Richard Thomas was mentored for five years by Shaun Cooper, which included months of pro bono support from Shaun.
  • Soon after benefiting from Shaun’s mentorship, he encouraged his friend at the time, Joanne Holmes, a schoolteacher, to get mentored too.
  • Mr Thomas volunteered himself and encouraged Ms Holmes to join and invest in the Lighthouse Associate Elect Program (a program which had many levels of involvement, of which they were at the lowest; only being involved in meetings once per week. A direct contrast with the utter lie the BBC presented where Lighthouse supposedly took over people’s lives!)
  • Mr Thomas and Ms Holmes received extraordinary levels of support from Shaun and from Paul S. Waugh (which included supplying Ms Holmes with medical needs and health supplements during the Covid Pandemic – something you definitely will not hear the BBC tell you).
  • Both individuals were heavily involved in orchestrating the hate and smear campaign against Lighthouse Global.
  • This campaign ignited at the very same time that Paul S. Waugh and several senior Lighthouse Partners began exploring the merits, substance and importance of the teachings of Jesus Christ, namely the Sermon on the Mount.
  • This exploration was something that was shared on an opt-in basis with the other Associates and Associate-Elects, which they were not obliged to receive in any way.
  • We have substantial proof and evidence that the smear campaign run by Mr Thomas and Ms Holmes was not only vitriolic, racist, xenophobic and guilty of doxing young children, but clearly and palpably anti-Christ and anti-Christian.

You can learn more about who Mr Thomas’ wife is here.

You can learn more about why Mr Thomas joined Lighthouse here.

Fake whistleblower Richard Thomas had a problem; he wanted and needed to grow as a man, a father and a husband. He came to Lighthouse Global for help because no one else in his life could support him in the way he needed.

As we shared last week, the challenge of becoming a better man didn’t just require confronting what was inside of him. It also involved fending off the relentless efforts of his wife, Antonia Brider-Thomas, who actively sought to sabotage his attempts to grow through Lighthouse.

The message exchange between Richard Thomas and his mentor at Lighthouse, Shaun Cooper, gives an example of how Antonia made it impossible for her husband to even participate on a weekly call:

This week we will be sharing more text message evidence proving that Paul S. Waugh, Shaun Cooper and Lighthouse did all they reasonably could to support Richard Thomas through his time at Lighthouse given the oppressive forces he faced at home.

In the next few days, we will present the details of an offer of a compassionate refund to Richard Thomas. This is something that the Daily Mail had to completely omit in order for them to try and maintain their flaky hearsay hit piece on Lighthouse Global and Paul S. Waugh.

3. Targeted from the Outside: How The Establishment Persecutes us Christians

This Fundamental Question Proves The Establishment Is Trying to Oppress Our God-Given Human Potential

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.” — Psalm 139:13-14

What fundamental question (of many) revealed to us at Lighthouse Global that the global Establishment is purposely limiting our growth, development, potential and progress?

This question stumped thousands of people involved in Lighthouse research projects and initiatives over the last 21+ years.

The simple yet fundamental question was… “what is a human being?”

Just pause before you read any further to reflect…

Does this question surprise you?

Have you heard it before?

Were you ever asked this question by a teacher in school?

The inability to answer this question was regardless of the person’s age, their gender, their ethnicity, their education level, their profession, their level of seniority, their sexual orientation, their marital status, whether they had kids or not, and their worldview when it came to God.

We asked this question to CEOs, graduates, parents, grandparents, PhDs, doctors, lawyers, soldiers, teachers, in the thousands.

No one could give a clear answer to this.

Not knowing the answer caused shock, disbelief, embarrassment, shame, even frustration and anger. How could seemingly educated and intelligent people not know the answer to such a simple question?

For a degenerate reprobate, this question may seem abstract, or even trivial.

Yet the more we look at this, the more we see how deeply concerning it is that we can’t even define what it means to be human. Just as a trainee mechanic will first study internal combustion, surely a child should learn about who and what they are as a human being?

The devastating reality is that 99.99%+ of people, often after at least a decade of schooling, don’t actually know what differentiates human beings from animals… despite being a human being their entire lives!

The question is then… is the ignorance of what makes us human by design or by default?

Are those in charge of the education system stupid or evil?

Is this harsh? It is quite a statement to make… Are they stupid or evil?

Why we ask this question is because the Establishment makes the claim, the government makes the claim and every party trying to get into government makes the claim that the intention is to optimise the nation. Every single political party around the world, every single government around the world, publicly state their aim is to make the world the best possible place.

Therefore the idea of making the world the best possible place has to be on the basis of the top line. The top line is God and human beings. We need to understand first principles, in line with the top line and what’s core to those first principles… the knowledge of human potential as humans. It’s a precursor to the optimisation of the individual, which as a nation optimises the nation. Optimising human beings means optimising how the country’s run, how we treat each other, and how we build value.

We will be delving into this in great depth in the coming weeks as we release more of our research, but in the interim let us leave this with you to think about..

If you agree that we ought to know not only what a human being is, BUT that we ought to be taught what it means to live an optimal life AND that we are led, taught, guided, supported, mentored, coached and counselled as to how to realise our potential.. THEN… Either..

Those in power, who control what we are taught, are so incompetent and stupid that they somehow overlooked this life-critical education that we don’t get.

OR.. the Establishment and those that do its bad bidding are aware of what we really need.. and are evil because they are wilfully, systematically and repeatedly oppressing our God-given human potential.

In the name of education, are we actually being deliberately constricted to human bonsais?

The Establishment attacks on Lighthouse Global clearly point to this stunting of human potential to be intentional. This is because since November 2004, Lighthouse has been researching what it takes for the everyday person to realise their God-given human potential, starting with what the main obstacles, barriers and restraining forces are. When Lighthouse Associates came to see the reality that we can only truly regenerate in Christ as a key research finding, then the coordinated predatory attacks started online, in the mainstream media and through weaponised government agencies.

The global Establishment has invested tens of millions into trying to destroy Paul S. Waugh and Lighthouse Global because it does not want you as global citizens to know what Lighthouse has discovered about human potential from the last 21+ years. It is astonishing. If you are truly willing to look at how the Establishment has conspired to limit you as a human being, it will terrify you!

In the coming days and weeks, we will be sharing profound insights with you into what the Establishment does not want you to know about what it means to be human and to realise your God-given potential. We will be revealing how the Global Establishment is doing this deliberately, systematically and repeatedly through what they destroy, omit and what they don’t encourage.

In tomorrow’s update, we’ll be sharing more about what it takes to develop our capability to love, how hatred has sabotaged Richard Thomas’ growth and how the Establishment seeks to destroy our God-given human potential.

Note: Given Paul’s longstanding ill health resulting from the multiple Establishment attacks on him, these daily updates are generated by the team, drawing from recent and older meetings and transcripts that Paul has shared with us. We ask for you to keep him in your prayers as he builds strength and renews in our Lord.


God bless,

Paul S. Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

So much for Paul S. Waugh being the controlling cult leader, when Richard Thomas had his own wife tormenting him in the background making him unable to be on a telephone conference! Looking forward to the revelations this week. He is very much a pawn and therefore a victim of the Establishment and their sinister agenda to limit, suppress, oppress and spiritually lobotomise humanity.

Thank you for sharing the video about the commandment to love God and love our neighbour as ourselves. There’s a lot for me to be going to my Father in prayer about.

It’s shocking but true – who, out of the masses in this world can honestly give any in depth answer to that question? What is a Human Being? Most I think would be struggling to go beyond basic biology and I know that when I first heard it, I was completely stumped. Yet this ought to be absolutely fundamental for us all. Would you expect people to work as firemen/women without understanding fire and how it works. To be a plumber without understanding plumbing? Being a human is the most core and fundamental thing we are and ought to understand! Yet asking these questions and challenging the status quo to reveal these heinous omissions is exactly why Lighthouse is being attacked so vehemently by the Establishment! Someone like Mr Thomas ought to have known that making such false and heinous smears up about such an organisation would only backfire massively. As it is now with all the evidence to show his true colours.

That God extends His love to us all, giving us all the means and opportunity to then love Him with all we have in return is an incredible reality. Compare that with the alternative of atheism, where Richard Dawkins claims there is no meaning and purpose to life, just cold pitiless indifference! I’m humbly grateful to be so loved by our God and to be learning how to be in true relationship with Him through His Agape love. That dynamic is the powerhouse for our lives in love, peace and joy.

Another significantly impactful daily update. The video on love is light-years beyond anything I learnt about love growing up at home, school, on TV or even at church. How can we be loving if we don’t know what the highest form of love is?

Meanwhile we see the distinctly anti-loving attitude and actions from Antonia Brider-Thomas that fed into her husband, Richard Thomas.

Lastly it’s damning by the day for us to be revealing our research findings from 21+ years of hard work and sacrifice. I was shocked when I was first asked the question “what is a human being?” by Chris Nash in a mentoring session. It made such an impact that I can literally still picture where I was… I seem to recall that “206 bones” came into my answer – a fact I’d learnt at primary school. Yet I had no clue about the reality of what it means to be human.

Fast forward a few years and I was asking seemingly well-educated and intelligent people the same question and they were equally clueless. I’m certain that no one at the BBC could answer the same question, but they’re given the responsibility to inform, educate and inspire the British people! The tragic reality is that BBC knows more about abusing children than it does being human…

Some powerful insights in today’s update. What I got from what Agape love is really hit home massively. It’s an act, not a feeling, and it is regardless of their behaviour. It is to help them reach the highest level possible for them. That’s very clear and precise. It shows up clearly in our character by doing that in every moment. Acting will not do.
What hits home even further is the reality of how our education has been limited. Developing the character to love in an Agape way is beyond us. It’s remiss on purpose. The reality is that what we believe about our potential and what is possible is a lie. This is changing the playing field, and it’s big!!!!

Thank you for this incredibly insightful update, I really appreciate the short clip shared at the beginning, how much we are not taught but can now begin to learn! What a question in section 3.. and incredibly eye-opening as well. I really look forward to learning more over the next weeks, as well as seeing how previous client Richard Thomas and his wife sabotaged his own growth at Lighthouse and what we can learn from that, and how it discredits and disproves everything in the documentary the BBC made. Thank you and God bless us all.

Thank you for another incredibly insightful update. The question, “What is a human being?”, really stood out to me because it exposes just how much has been left out of our education. We spend years learning facts and information, yet so few of us are ever taught who we really are, why we exist, or what our God-given potential actually is.

The section on Agape love was equally powerful. It reminds me that love is not simply an emotion but a commitment to helping others become all that God created them to be. The more I learn about Christ’s example, the more I see how essential it is to deepen my relationship with Him so I can love God and my neighbour in a genuine way.

It is also becoming increasingly clear why Lighthouse has faced such opposition. Empowering people will directly impact the establishment’s agenda of keeping and increasing their control. The growing evidence surrounding Richard Thomas and the BBC only reinforces how important it is that the truth continues to come to light.

God bless.

Another powerful update – phew Agape love, making that choice beyond feeling “loving” – Christ did that for ourselves. Phew I forget that so much.

And I can see how that actually fits in with knowing what is a human. Because I certainly didn’t know and I was very much caught up in love is a feeling. That’s what makes the predatory trolls against Lighthouse so tragic because they were angry at those who were learning this. Mr Thomas was on the calls once a week, that’s it.

Thank you for the video on the greatest commandment, there is so much to learn from what God is asking for, our will. Our feelings are fleeting and yet we make decisions based on them and without challenging or testing them.

With Richard Thomas, he allowed his wife’s irrational feelings to influence the decision he made when turning on Lighthouse and all those who had given to him and cared for him.

The establishment seeks to destroy the very agape love that Christ teaches us about. it is only by doing that can they try and gain control over human beings in the way they need to, to maintain their own pseudo-power and control.

We see this at all levels to as Antonia Brider-Thomas shows us by example.

We are made in the image of God, yet the fact that we spend our whole lives separated from that fact in such unnatural and antichristian systems that celebrate sin and idolatry… how it must make our Lord weep. Forgive us Father.

What you are sharing is not how a ‘controlling cult leader’ would be. In fact, Paul is the complete opposite. You share how he wants to help us all grow and develop, to grow in our relationship with God and to put Him first. The video you have shared is powerful, and I value the message: “Love God with all our hearts, souls, minds and strength – then love our neighbours as ourselves” A powerful message from Christ…

I look forward to what you will be sharing this week…
