MORE... What, not "happy, happy, happy all the time, time, time"? No. God never promises that in the Bible. Everyone, regardless of their beliefs, are to some extent bruised and broken by the historic space-time fall, with its cursing of every aspect of life. See The Glory, Dignity and Dislocation of Man to the number of people in the Bible who suffered it too. Here are some:- MORE...
MORE... Stage is Babylon the Great; with its 20km wall that was 40m thick, its famous hanging gardens (one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world), the Tower of Babel, the Temple of Marduk, and the palace of Nebuchadnezzar with its vast throne room. Centre of wealth, power, science, art and false worship.
MORE... The Narrator is King Nebuchadnezzar himself. Opening Greeting - what a statement! V1-3 "It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me." No longer a god, but Most High God, Who is & rules forever, and "for me" (getting personal). No apostle, preacher can excel it. What a contrast with previous Ch3, 4-6 when boasted and threatened! Peace, not violence. He, not me! MORE...

MORE... "No God But God", Part 2 of "The Story of God" by Lord Robert Winston (a venerated world expert in human fertility research, and an orthodox Jew).
He goes in search of the answer to the centuries old question: "If God created humanity, why does God allow humanity to suffer?"MORE...
MORE... When I was a young man I had the privilege of watching a great story-teller at work. Jim Duffecy sketched and spoke at the same time, and wove both mediums together into an unforgettable whole. His passion was the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and his story-telling always aimed at that. I think I learned more from him than any other, and when I wanted to do some basic training for would-be Bible story-tellers in 2004, the publishers of Jim's little book "Sketchboard Sermons" kindly gave me permission to copy it for any who wanted it.

MORE... My friend C. died this week, suddenly, of a heart attack. He was 52 and super-fit (gym, running and surfing as often as he could). I still have a sense of shock and disbelief, and can only guess how his family are feeling and suffering (only God can know it all). The day I heard of it, these lines came into my mind MORE...
