Quick suggestion: I would suggest that those commenting on these verses go to www.biblegateway.org to look additionally at some more literal translations. No translation is perfect (there\’s always a compromise between readability and \’literalness\’), but the problem with throught-for-thought translation is that it really involves interpretation as well as translation on the part of the translator. This can be helpful for those not familiar with the Bible, but we must be aware that if we are interpreting someone else\’s interpretation, we are more prone to error than if we are interpreting only once from a literal rendering of the original text. This is because the interpretation by the translator may not be correct, so we end up interpreting an incorrect intepretation!!

I heard Malcolm from Liverpool dream talking about “boasting” last Sunday - which got me thinking that I really need to boast about how great God is more often.

And on the topic of being a “light” - I saw Evan Almighty last night, which centres on the world being changed by one Act of Random Kindness (ARK) at a time.

Is the Big Man trying to tell me something perhaps?
