Epilogue what?

Hebrews 13v20-21

This has to be one of my favourite passages in the Bible. I have a lot of very positive associations with it from my time at Cornerstone Church during those innocent (!) student days in Nottingham between 1990-93. It reminds me of the epic yet intimate upward Gospel spiral.

This one was based on the naming of the Sudanese Teddy.

The Christian Institute had made some responses to the discussion on a proposed 'incitement to religious hatred' law. A worrying aspect of the issue was that a law that was intended to protect religious views could end up being used to legislate against faiths like christianity. I had listened to some testimonies of people from around the world where they had been hounded and eventually thrown out of their own countries due to this kind of law being passed. I wanted to reflect on the changes implicit in this law.

A couple of my friends’ boys are mentioned in the dedication. I think it speaks for itself.

Anti Social Behaviour Orders might well be an effective measure for preventing crime, but if you look further back in each persons history, where are the Dad's who provide a loving context for discipline and nurture? The strip points toward God as the ultimate father who can repair the damage.

I like the 'pof' frame as the missile is launched from the Bible.

It is interesting that I got a complaint from one gentleman for the language being used in the title. He felt that it was inappropriate to use sacred references in this way. I had to respectfully disagree - I think that once you get into 'sacred' forms of language you are heading into the direction of holy places, a view that I think the Bible refutes quite heavily in the new testament.

Hebrews 12 (see Bible text) is big on linking the idea of perseverance and the olympics. I'm not entirely sure if this is all that clear, it's probably a little too dense, verbally.
