Windy and overcast this morning so I had to work harder.

Quote for the Day
The source of the Moravians’ success was bound up in their allegiance to and love for Jesus Christ. Because of their love for the Savior, the Moravians experienced a deep sense of community. Jason Hubbard

It was great to ride out along the Mount Kaputar Road this morning. The magpies have settled down a lot in the past couple of weeks, although there is one that is still agro.
Quote for the Day
Like the Moravians, we need to return to our first love, to the Lord Jesus, our Lamb of love. We need to ask Him to ring the bell of awakening in these days. Let us cry out for a Lamb’s awakening movement, where the Spirit of God uses the Word of God to reawaken the people of God to the Lamb of God for all that He is! Jason Hubbard

What a beautiful morning for being outside. A great ride on Jacks Creek and Gun Club Roads
Quote for the Day
The Moravian movement had provided leadership to the world for 200 years. But by the 1930s and 40s, sadly the town of Herrnhut had followed the rest of Germany in providing tacit—if not eager—support for Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party. The Soviet Army captured the town of Herrnhut on the final day of the Second World War, at which time the church building and the heart of the town were set ablaze. It was a scene that caused locals to wonder if this was the Lord’s judgement. Jason Hubbard
Doctor Who: “Not Awful”
I watched the latest Doctor Who episode, “The Power of the Doctor” yesterday.
It was Jodie Whitaker’s final appearance in the role. After 4 years of avoiding what was once my favourite TV show, I thought I would give it a go.
The reason that I gave up on Doctor Who was that it went all woke and preachy in the first season of Jodie and show runner Chris Chibnall. Also the stories weren’t that good and often just disappointed me.
The “Power of the Doctor” is a feature movie length episode that captured all of the awesomeness that science fiction is meant to do. Having said that, I think it should have been quite a bit shorter, maybe 75 minutes would have done the job. There seemed to be a couple of unnecessary scenes that could easily have been cut.
It seemed like Chibnall decided that the more traditional villains the better with the Daleks and Cybermen teaming up (yet again) and the Master co-ordinating things.
The action links events in pre-revolution Russia in 1916 and the present time. The Master has the Daleks plotting to set off tectonic plate movements that would activate earthquakes and volcanoes all around the world. He also forces the Doctor into a “forced regeneration” which allows him to take over the Doctor’s identity and wreak havoc all over the universe, destroying the reputation of the Doctor forever.
Sacha Dhawan is brilliant as the Master. The story is very good, although there are some plot holes. It was amazing to see some of the companions and doctors from the classical era, and a surprise appearance by David Tenant.
Well done to the Doctor Who team. I am now excited to be looking forward to the next era of the Doctor under a regenerated Russell T Davies and the new Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa
Quote for the Day
The radical devotion and consecration of these missionaries is astounding. Often they would build their own wooden caskets knowing they wouldn’t be returning. Before departing, some missionary families would hold memorial services in the graveyard, understanding they would give their lives for the sake of the gospel. Jason Hubbard

Some days are too nice to stay inside even if the body would rather stay in bed.

The Moravians were missionary trailblazers, setting an incredible precedent that has inspired the church for generations. Jason Hubbard
