Alpha's Sandy Millar on God moving at Holy Trinity Brompton

85-year-old Alexander 'Sandy' Millar is best known as co-founder of the worldwide introduction course to Christianity known as 'Alpha'. Though thoughts of being a clergyman were far from his mind when he was child. GHe grew up in Scotland during the second world war with a father who was a Major General. He went to boarding school and onto Cambridge eventually fulfilling his dream of becoming a criminal barrister. He says he was brought up Christian and prayed everyday though it was later at the age of 27 during a weekend away with his soon-to-be-wife that he experienced the Holy Spirit and the 'assurance' of God's presence. He says this is the time he really became a Christian. Despite a successful career in law he felt a pull towards the ministry and went onto play a pivotal role in the influential evangelical church Holy Trinity Brompton in Kensington, London where he became vicar in 1985. The church became a hub in the 90s for evangelical Christianity. Later with Nicky Gumbel he co-founded Alpha which is now in 100 countries, including prisons and has reached 24 million people with the story of Jesus Christ to people who have no faith or those who are just curious, though originally, it started as a course for young Christians. In this episode of The Profile he talks to Premier Christianity Magazine's Tony Wilson about his early life, the beginnings of Alpha and the plan that God has had for him.

Being a Christian in Iran

Being a Christian in Iran is complex. It's not illegal to practise you faith there but it depends on how you do it. Even being a member of a house church can have you thrown in jail. But despite being a majority Muslim nation the Church there is growing there. Dr. Hormoz Shariat is an Iranian-American Christian evangelist and the founder of Iran Alive Ministries, an organization that uses TV and digital media to broadcast Christian content into Iran and the broader Persian-speaking world. He's often referred to as the "Billy Graham of Iran" because of his large-scale evangelistic impact though he'd never call himself a televanglist. His is a global church using media. He was born in Iran then came to the United States in the late 1970s. He originally studied Computer Engineering, earning a Ph.D. from USC (University of Southern California) only later transitioning to full-time ministry. Dr. Shariat became a Christian while in the U.S., and his personal transformation played a major role in shaping his mission to share The Gospel with other Iranians.

How about a female Archbishop?

Should the next Archbishop of Canterbury be a woman? Justin Welby resigned as leader of the Church of England earlier this year over his handling of historical abuse allegations. But would having a woman take on the role make any difference to the way abuse cases are dealt with? And could it improve things for women in the Church more generally? Kate Orson grew up in a feminist home and, after over 20 years in the new age Kate converted to Christianity in 2021. Kate has written for the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph, Woman Alive and now writes online at kateorsonwrites.substack.com Sally Hope created Always Hopeful, a recovery programme for Christian women who have experienced domestic abuse and also writes for Woman Alive.

It's a double bill on The Profile this week.

July 30th - Proverbs 27:6

Proverbs 27:6 Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. We’ve probably all had moments when friends have said something which made us go: “Ouch!” Perhaps they were giving us a loving warning or strongly disagreeing with our opinion. The pain was real but, when we got over it, we realised they said it because they cared. That doesn’t mean they were necessarily right, of course, but the reason they spoke in the way that they did was because of the friendship. Superficially, it is nicer to be kissed than wounded, but the writer of Proverbs makes the point that what really matters is where the kiss or wound comes from. If an enemy kisses you, it might feel nice for a moment, but it is a lie. There is no love or commitment behind it, and you are much better off without it. A wound that comes from a sincere friend is infinitely more valuable. Speaking truth is never an easy matter. We are continually tempted to say the things that other people want to hear and which will make them like us. All our instincts are to tiptoe around saying the things we know they don’t want to hear. God’s intention is that we should be speakers of truth. In the apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he was concerned for Christian growth. He wanted his Christian friends, and the whole Church, to become stronger. He wrote that as we speak the truth in love, we will grow “in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of the body, the church” (Ephesians 4.15). Of course, it must never be our intention to wound anyone, but the truth is so precious that we must make sure we don’t keep it from our friends, even when it is going to hurt. For the same reason, we must love them when they share words of truth with us. Question When were you last wounded by the words of a friend, and what did you learn from that experience? Prayer Lord God, help me always to speak truth that is full of your love. Amen

August 1st - 1 Timothy 1:5-6

1 Timothy 1:5-6 The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience and genuine faith. But some people have missed this whole point. You only need to look at the religious section in your local bookshop to see that our society is still interested in religion. There is a massive appetite to learn about the meaning and purpose of life, God and the universe, and there is enormous confusion too! We have a great deal in common with Paul. The world of his day was stacked full of different religions and philosophies, so when Christianity emerged, it had to compete with any number of rivals. It wasn’t easy to establish a church, and Paul knew better than anyone how tough the fight was. In this letter, Paul was keen to encourage his young friend Timothy as a church leader. We get the impression that Timothy was a gentle and rather timid man, so Paul was keen for him to be clear on what his role was. He had left Timothy behind in Ephesus so he could oppose false teaching. Timothy needed to be tough in standing up for the truth, but Paul knew that there was no point in having correct doctrine if it wasn’t bathed in love. For Paul, that kind of godly love flowed from three things: a pure heart, a clear conscience and genuine faith. Love flows from people who know they have been forgiven, who are trusting God completely, and who are committed to single-minded obedience to God. It's incredibly important that we seek to understand Christian truth and become increasingly effective in sharing it with others, but more important than anything is that we are filled with love. Question Why is love so important that Paul can describe it as the purpose of his instruction? Prayer Lord God, thank you for the way in which you have shown me perfect love through your son Jesus Christ. Help me to pass on your love to those I meet today. Amen.
