We begin to get insight into God's jewels

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Diamond star thrills astronomers

So now we have more scientific evidence that God is a Person of massive, fantastic abundance. How like God it is to design stars to blaze as cosmic fireworks and then fade into staggering jewels thousands of miles across.

I do believe that when the end of the ages comes and the new heaven and the new earth is created, it will be a vast playground of awesome experiences for us who are saved to enjoy in our resurrection bodies. We can barely grasp what it will be like, but God gives us some 'downpayments' in the here and now to assure us. Planet-sized diamonds do not surprise me. That's power.

Almost as staggering is that the God of the cosmos cares about the relative trivia of my life, and yours. That's love.

How NOT to share your faith

BBC NEWS | Americas | Christian question alarms flight

In the story above, I admire the pilot's zeal to share his faith. However, he did so in a way which was not sensitive to the context or the people he was witnessing to. When we share the wonderful, life-changing news about Jesus Christ we must always do so in a way that lets people know that we are caring and considerate and that we mean them no harm.
The context of a pilot talking to the people at his mercy in an airplane is probably not the right time or place. Our society highly values the notion of personal freedom and as Christians in the workplace we must ensure we have the rapport and relationship with an individual before we can effectively share Christ. Non-believers will judge our lifestyle before they'll listen to our words.
