BADGE OF HONOUR: Iain Duncan Smith, now blacklisted by the Chinese regime SIR Iain Duncan Smith MP calls it a “badge of honour” to be sanctioned by the Chinese regime over his campaign to stop trade deals because of the persecution of Uyghur Muslims. UK companies who trade with China are “feeding this dreadful and intolerant government”, he insists. He should perhaps tell that to two businesses that currently employ him. Since January, IDS has been advising Byotrol on “product and company development”, earning £25,000 a year for 12 hours work a month. His links with the firm go back further, including a brief stint as a director (and shareholder) before becoming work and pensions secretary in 2010. Besides developing anti-bacterial treatments for businesses and consumers, Byotrol has a line of “pet grooming and hygiene” goods that were first sold in China under the Carexpro brand in 2013.

To confront can mean to meet someone face to face with argumentative intent, but just as often, it carries the connotation of facing up to a difficult situation. Since its beginning, worship has been embroiled in confrontation on both sides of that definition. From Cain confronting Abel, to the people of God confronting other nations in battle, to the confrontations within churches over styles and preferences and traditions and expressions, to the unseen spiritual battles going on within and around us as we engage in it, the act of worship has always been inextricably involved in confrontation. However, there is a massive worship-related confrontation that often is ignored by too many worship leaders: the challenge when our worship fails to match up with what we say we believe.
