“You are from beneath; I am from above.” I’m sure the Jews were baffled when the Lord Jesus spoke these words to them in John 8:23. He was referring to His identity and origin. He wanted them to know He came down from heaven. He referred to himself as the living bread which came down from heaven (John 6: 51). In addition to that, the Bible also lets us know He’s the Word of God made flesh (John 1: 1-10), showing us further that He was not of this earth but from above. And do you know what? If you’re…

The U.S. will…

Iceland coaches Heimir Hallgrimsson and Lars Lagerback heaped praise on their players in the early hours of Tuesday (June 28) shortly after they made history and knocked out England from Euro 2016 in a game that will live long in the memory of Icelanders and the English alike. Hallgrimsson said the team were still improving and could continue to generate surprises in the tournament. When the final whistle went in England’s shambolic 2-1 Euro 2016 defeat to Iceland, the man who rose to shake his hand in the other dugout was Iceland’s Swedish coach Lars Lagerback, who was inspired by…

Roy Hodgson resigned as England manager after his side suffered a shock 2-1 defeat by Iceland to crash out of Euro 2016 at the last-16 stage. The 68-year-old had been in charge for four years after replacing Italian Fabio Capello but has won just three of 11 games in major tournament finals. Iceland – with a population of just 330,000 – were among the lowest-ranked teams in France at 34 in the world. Hodgson, who won 33 of his 56 games as England boss, would have been out of contract at the end of the tournament. The former Liverpool and…

The NAO said the 2026 target opening date for the first phase was “at risk, despite good progress”. But HS2 Ltd said it was confident that it could achieve its objectives. The first phase of HS2, linking London and the West Midlands, is due to be completed in 10 years’ time.

Chancellor George Osborne has warned that Tax rises and spending cuts will be needed within months to deal with economic challenges following the vote to leave the EU, George Osborne has warned. The Chancellor said predictions about the impact on public finances “have started to be borne out by events” – including falls in the value of the pound and markets. He said: “We are absolutely going to have to provide fiscal security to people – in other words we are going to have to show the country and the world that the country can live within its means.”
