Ever noticed how much more courage, wisdom and hope you have for *other* people's struggles? That's why we need each other.

Stunning lecture on medical ethics by John Wyatt http://www.cis.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/John-Wyatt.mp3 - Takes you down in horror (law!); raises you up in Christ (gospel!)
Note that Paul's answer to the Corinthians' "Everything is permissible for me" was Not "Come on guys, there are limits" #1Corinthians6
Paul's ethics are not driven by the "limits" of the gospel but by the *liberation* of the gospel. "I will not be mastered"
Everything is awefull http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+6%3A3&version=NIVUK
Please Note: Caesar is not the interpretive key to the phrase "Jesus is /Lord/". Moses is.
"Jesus is Lord" has some implications for dealing with the Emporer. It's primarily about how we deal with *Scripture*. #JesusisYAHWEH
Because of resurrection, the worst thing is never the last thing. #EnjoyYourDay

God's first move with suffering is not to end it but to enter it. And even when He ends it at last, it's an inside job.
