OK less tired this week but how is it Friday already and I haven’t written any posts. I’ve definitely thought about writing some.
You should read these
- Miracles Are Outlasting the Arguments Against Them – this interview with Craig Keener is worth reading, as I’m sure his book will be too
- Waiting – this by Phil Varley on waiting with faith.
- Why Do We Assume Western Theology is Superior? – tread carefully if you do
- A surge of evangelicals in Spain, fueled by Latin Americans – this photo essay is another piece of evidence that the spiritual future of the secular north will be transformed by the arrival of faith from the global south. The Lord is sending workers to the harvest.
- Omicron optimist, pessimist or fatalist – which are you? I haven’t posted a lot about Covid for a while because we’re all fed up with it but this made sense to me.
- ‘It’s a miracle’: Helsinki’s radical solution to homelessness – simples, give them a home.
- Foster + Partners and Marge Arkitekter chosen to redevelop Stockholm Central Station – a part of the constant renewal and expansion of central Stockholm. The cranes are a permanent feature.

We like some good volcano pictures on this website. And without wanting to minimise the suffering of the people of Tonga in any way, we can be awed by the power they unleash. And as a bonus check out these photos of the changed landscape of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. To the main show: 2021: The Year in Volcanic Activity

From the archives
A Satisfied Life: “Paul was fully satisfied in God, he was completely fulfilled in his relationship with God through Jesus Christ and so was relaxed about his circumstances. I imagine it would be impossible to sell Paul a loan, a new car, rearrange his finances or persuade him to buy a bigger house if they didn’t help him achieve his purpose in serving God. There was a direct connection between happened to Paul on the inside and what he needed on the outside. I wonder what would happen to personal debt if this connection was made more often.”
Have a great weekend.
