“If you want to feel 10 feet tall and as though you could run a hundred miles without stopping, hate beats pure cocaine any day… . Hitler resurrected a beaten, bankrupt, half-starved nation with hatred and nothing more. Imagine that.” Kurt Vonnegut

Christians are not meant to be adverts for God but letters from him. And the letter… says something like this: “Here is a poor, weak human being , yet, despite that failure, God still forgives, accepts, loves and stands by them.” seenandunseen.com/after-fall-pos…

In 1938, a German publisher asked Tolkien if he was Aryan enough to be printed under Nazi law. He replied: "If I am to understand that you are enquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors from that gifted people."

At church we recently marked a 74th wedding anniversary! ‘In an era of infinite choice, attention deficit & sensation seeking, it’s difficult to envisage that as many marriages made today will survive for 50 years or so.’ @Simon_Kelner in @theipaper exeter.ac.uk/shackleton

If you were inventing a religion, you wouldn’t have its founder disgraced and comprehensively publicly defeated by the religious and political authorities. There is no explanation of the cross as the centre of Christianity that is as compelling as the possibility that it’s true…

Today there is a “widespread notion that everything humanly important is electronically transmissible. [The outpouring of the Holy Spirit in] Asbury is saying, It’s not, and don’t try.” Michael McClymond @CTmagazine christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/februa…

Christian faith is … no fuzzy, vague philosophy that we cling to for comfort, cherry picking the feel-good bits and tippexing out the tough stuff. To be a Christian is to believe that Christianity is true – so it’s going to affect how we see the world. @timfarron @theipaper
