We live in a world that needs a whole lot of love, love of others particularly those who are homeless, persecuted and exploit by the greedy and selfish.
St Paul tells us: “Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong but rejoices in right. (1 Corinthians 13.4-6.). We pray that our world can be filled with a love that drives out hate and violence.
Prayer
We pray for those who hold authority in nations, thinking especially about world leaders, may they work with the United Nations to bring peace to our world. Particularly those in the Middle East, Russia and Eastern Europe. We pray for those who hold authority in our countries the government, employers, and judiciary. May they govern fairly, care for all they are responsible for, seek justice and being honest in all they say and do. Pray for those who hold authority in our community, police and local councillors. We pray for the Police asking that they will be protected as they face violent individual and all those where there has been rioting. Lord God whose authority is over all, give us wisdom. Wise God we are constantly amazed by the example set for us by Jesus. May we seek to follow his words and ways so that we can live together in peace and harmony under your benevolent authority.
Amen.

Spreading fake news is harmful.
In Ephesians chapter 4 verse 25. Paul makes it clear that lying is wrong. We see this frequently in fake news on the internet when it is believed by people. It can create bitterness, rage, anger, and violence as we have seen recently in the UK with the riots which we provoke by lies on social media and in one case by the platform owners. We have also seen leading politicians making numerous false statements while accusing other of spreading fake news. When will people realise that lying is wrong it goes against the teachings of all the major religions. We are taught to care for others and not lying. We must pray that leading politicians will be truthful and social media platforms will remove false statements and lies.
