Our Election Manifesto | feat. “Prophet Song” by Paul Lynch

Today’s special general election episode of the podcast considers the astonishing book by Paul Lynch, “Prophet Song”, winner of the Booker Prize, (2023). You can watch the YouTube version of this podcast here.

This is our manifesto. It has been for years. We’ve talked about it as such. It’s the song of the Bible that most of us don’t want to sing. 

But Paul Lynch’s “Prophet Song” is a book that carries with it an unregenerate prophetic quality that offers more than entertainment and lyrical prowess. Molly, especially, is a beautiful character that, were I still an English Literature student, I’d write all of my main essays about.

But what will you do when the end comes?

“An appalling and horrible thing
has happened in the land:
the prophets prophesy falsely,
and the priests rule at their direction;
my people love to have it so,
but what will you do when the end comes?”

— Jeremiah 5:30-31

Will the Church look at herself in the mirror or continue prancing around dishevelled?

You Can Help us Overcome the Control of YouTube

With the powers that be at YouTube arbitrary controlling what videos are seen or not seen (pushed or suppressed) — and with the gospel of Jesus Christ being a rock of offence to worldly cultures — there are a couple of practical things that you can do in a couple of seconds to help our ministry which ​is currently online:

Vows Have Been Taken

Why am I preaching about jealousy, God’s very Name being Jealous and volcanos?

Throughout Scripture, from Eden to the heavenly Jerusalem, Yahweh has made marriage to be central. Vows have been taken, and yet vows have been broken…and so Jealous burns.

Please listen carefully to the I AM JEALOUS teaching series: sermons to awaken us to spiritual reality and our delusions of innocence. 

“What am I to you, that you should command me to love you and, if I do not, you should be angry with me and threaten great miseries?” (Augustine)
