27th Dec, 2025 – Lighthouse Saturday Update — A Brief Check-In: Prayer, Truth, and Accountability

Lighthouse Daily – 27th December 2025

Good evening, 

Today is a very short hi and bye from us this Saturday ahead of our busy planning day on Sunday. Tomorrow, I plan to bring you more on the all important areas of love and truth in relationship to building the body of Christ in terms of its optimal capacity and capability.

In the following update, though short, we will bring you:

  1. Daily Prayer
  2. Today’s Daily Two-Tier Injustice Example
  3. Lighthouse Associates Feedback

1. Daily Prayer

Today’s Daily Prayer calls us to seek God’s clarity, repentance, and hope as we step into the week ahead. It invites honest self-examination, humble turning toward God, and a renewed expectancy in His guidance. May His presence steady our hearts, illuminate our paths, and fill us with courage and peace.

Here’s today’s prayer: Paul S. Waugh Daily Prayer 🔈


2. Today’s Daily Two-Tier Injustice Example

Couple Arrested for WhatsApping About their Children’s School 

With shoplifting and physical assaults for example, at such high levels you would think that the police would be dedicating their resources to such crimes. However that was not the case for the Hertfordshire Police force who sent 6 police officers to the home of Rosalind Levine and her partner, Maxie Allen and their two children to arrest them. 

Their crime? Mr Allen had communicated to the school in May 2024 regarding their displeasure of the recruitment of a new headteacher, which the school warned them of.  Mr Allen and Ms Levine communicated disbelief about the warnings on a private WhatsApp group with other parents, with the school subsequently banning them from entering its premises! After their ban, the pair said they emailed the school “regularly” about the needs of their daughter, who is disabled.

The pair were then  arrested and detained by six uniformed officers on suspicion of harassment, malicious communications and causing a nuisance on school property! All charges have subsequently been dropped and the police have paid the couple damages for wrongful arrest.

As you have been reading this situation, you may be thinking that this article is an April Fools Day prank being played at the wrong time of the year. Unfortunately it is not. This actually happened as shown in the video.

We are as flabbergasted and shocked as you. This situation displays an absurd level of the lack of common sense at best and at worst once again demonstrates how powers of regulatory authorities can be abused on innocent members of the public. While this family has been paid compensation, can any financial amount compensate for the trauma of children seeing their parents arrested for crimes they did not commit. Once again this situation demonstrates the need for citizens to be able to come together and hold authorities to account for the abuse of their powers.

Collective Feedback 26.12.2025

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.

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 


God bless you all,

Paul Waugh, Chris Nash and Shaun Cooper

Thank you for this update. “Sanctify them by the truth; Your word is truth” (John 17:17). “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). May we walk in prayer, truth, and humble accountability before Him. 🙏

It is incredible to learn more about the experience of Mr Allen and Ms Levine. I remember seeing the headlines about this case, but learning about the unfolding of the events just shows how tyrannical the British establishment can be. It’s not just common sense that’s gone out of the window, but power is being abused to the extent that children’s health, safety and wellbeing is being put at risk. It’s just showing how little the establishment actually cares about families and children.

Yet another reason why Citizen Intervention Global is needed.

Learning about the situation of Mr Allen and Ms Levine, my first thought is has the world gone mad. While there is often more to the headline than the media say, it’s clear to see in this situation how so many public resources have been wasted and a family devastated. Diabolical.

It is insane the level of police involvement in such a non-crime!
This shows it’s more about ‘sending a message’ rather than actual police work, because if it were about actual fairness, in this case, the school authorities would be held to account not the parents.

Thank you for the prayer and update. Flabbergasting is an understatement when it comes to what happened to Rosalind Levine and Maxie Allen and their children. Something that Mr Allen said in the video stood out to me especially when he said, “it does feel like North Korea” because the way the establishment is now behaving in the UK is certainly edging more and more in that direction. Tyranny, authoritarianism and dictatorship does not happen over night, there is always a gradual creep creep as the frog is boiled slowly in the water before it realises and can jump out. We need to share these examples and raise awareness and bring together Citizen Interventions as much as possible to counter such abuse of power and position. We must not forget that the government work FOR the people; they should answer to us, not the other way around and hold them strictly accountable to that, lest it become too late.

Seeing how Mr Allen, Ms Levine, and their family are being made to suffer under the tyranny of the establishment is yet another example of a strong misuse of power. Instead of being offered help and support, people are persecuted for exposing wrongdoing. This is precisely why Citizen Intervention Global is so important. Thank you for this update.

Is this what the world is coming to? Arresting innocent people, one man and one woman, a mother and father and it takes 6 police officers? God bless their children, what must they have been going through.

The two tier system in this country is getting worse, people who actually commit serious crimes are still walking the streets, when others, who make comments online, are put in prison.

Enter Citizen Intervention Global…

Thank you so much for this example of Two Tier Injustice Paul, Chris and Shaun…

So if the police want to come and arrest someone because of their words, how is that not living in a censorship based tyranny state? These seem like tests. How far can the police go with intimidating everyday people on basic freedoms? It seems to have come out of nowhere, but it hasn’t. It’s preparing us for much more of this abuse from state authorities. It instils fear in most people; the need to comply with authority vs the reality of knowing they’ve done nothing wrong. God has foretold all of this. It is Satan’s world and we cannot be silent about it.

Six police officers! That is ludicrous! Now what would have happened if they had not pursued a claim against the police…the police would have carried as usual without repercussion. Well, not anymore as we continue our work in holding tyrannous institutions accountable! Citizen Intervention Global is needed more than ever, God be with us.
