Under The Sun

With rising tension in Iraq and Iran, the IPCC report on climate change and, for us in Britain, bird flu in a Norfolk turkey farm, Michael Spencer has a timely post on Christian anxiety about the “End of the World”

Christians should be a community who looks at any apocalypse with hope. Not just hope that there is a resurrection beyond, but hope that Christ gives us victory over fear in the here and now. The likelihood of a nuclear detonation, viral epidemic or environmental catastrophe may be real, but Christians have always been able to minister, serve and love in the midst of the worst of times precisely because they believed all these events were under the control of the Lord of history and could not, ultimately, take anything of real value away from us.
