a Jesus thought...
People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last." (Luke 13:29)
a Godly thought...
The church is not a pristine, gleaming trophy case, but a field hospital loaded with people in the renewal process: and bloody and messy it often is, too. (p42 Lucas)
a leading thought...
Good supervisors are people who even when they must correct someone, can step on your toes without messing up your shine.
a Dave thought...
Interesting article on Global Religion in the Economist this week by John Micklethwait. Its called In God's Name and it deals with tension in religion and politics around the world.
"Part of that secular fury, especially in Europe, comes from exasperation. After all, it has been a canon of progressive thought since the Enlightenment that modernity—that heady combination of science, learning and democracy—would kill religion. Plainly, this has not happened. Numbers about religious observance are notoriously untrustworthy, but most of them seem to indicate that any drift towards secularism has been halted, and some show religion to be on the increase. The proportion of people attached to the world's four biggest religions—Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism—rose from 67% in 1900 to 73% in 2005 and may reach 80% by 2050.
Just a thought.
