The news about Fruit pickers in the UK was revealing..….showing the wrong side of globalisation.

Elevation Church  – https://theweeflea.com/2020/04/22/return-to-elevation/

And something great from the US Church –

 

A listener asked us to review Frightened Rabbit’s ‘Holy’ – it’s a perfect illustration of the gap between the desperate world and a Church which evangelises in a disconnected way.  I found it really moving…what do you think?

 

While you read to me from the right, act way on high, high
Clutching a crisp New Testament, breathing fire, fire
Will you save me the fake benevolence, I don’t have time, I’m
Just too far gone for a-tellin’, lost my pride, I don’t mind

Being holy, so leave me alone
Aw, you’re acting all holy, me, I’m just full of holes

Well I can dip my head in the river
Cleanse my soul, oh
I’ll still have the stomach of a sinner
Face like an unholy ghost
Will you save me all the soliloquies
Paid my fines, I’ll be
Gone before my deliverance
Preach what you write, ’cause I don’t mind

Being holy, so leave me alone
You’re acting all holy,
Me, I’m just full of holes, full of holes

Don’t mind being lonely, so spare me the brimstone
Acting all holy, when you know I’m full of holes
Don’t mind being lonely, don’t need to be told
Stop acting so holy,
I know I’m full of holes, full of holes

I don’t mind being lonely, so leave me alone
Are you, oh, so holy, that I’ll never be good enough
Don’t care if I’m lonely, ’cause it feels like home
I won’t ever be holy, thank God I’m full of holes, full of holes
