I think justice is big deal in our culture, and in the Biblical narrative. There is a lot of talk in the UK about social justice, justice for the poor etc. So i think i would want to talk about God's heart for justice, especially for the marginalised, the disenfranchised, those without a voice ... and how that is offered as Jesus ushers in his Kingdom. Does that answer your question? What do you think? </FONT> Rupert

I really agree about how we explain that in our culture ... community is certainly part of the picture (i love the city coming from heaven in Rev 21 ... i was actually speaking on that in a small group meeting, last sunday!) I wonder if justice is another concept that we need to include in our communication? </FONT> Rupert

I encouter alot of folks for whom a biblical worldview doesn't exis, and certainly not authoritative in their eyes. The challenge might then be how to build a bridge to the culture, to explain shalom. I wonder if the concept of community speaks louder. We are highly connected (electronically), but still lonely. There is a yearning for community deep in our heart. The ultimate destination of History is a new community -- the redeemed community (Rev 21 and 22). Salvation is not ultimately about individuals, but the creation of a redeemed community living in harmony (lion and the lamb). Just my .02 thought this morning.
