"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine
Jesus’ harsh words to the Pharisees and even his own disciples were not petty insults but serious wake-up calls. His judgement of sin is more like the diagnosis of a doctor who wants to give the patient a cure than the sentence of a judge who only wants to enforce the law

The focus of today’s chapter is not a ghost, but a Saint. According to MacDonald, she is “one of the great ones”, although you’ll have never heard of her before.

Okay, I know a lot of people hate this song (personally, I don’t have that kind of animus), but here is probably my favourite rendition of it:
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
who abide in his shadow for life
say to the Lord, “my refuge my Rock in Whom I trust”
And He will raise you up on eagles wings
bare you on the breath of dawn
make you to shine like the sun
and hold you in the palm
of His hand
The snare of the fouler will never capture you
and famine will bring you no fear
under His wings your refuge
His faithfulness your shield
You need not fear the terror of the night
nor the arrow that flies by day
though thousands fall about you
near you it shall not come
If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character.
Confucius
If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home.
If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nations.
When there is order in the nations, there will be peace in the world.
In today’s “After Hours” interview, I speak to Justin Thomas, a Pastor at Calvary: The Hill in Seattle. Justin’s congregation was behind “The Great Divorce Project” YouTube channel. These are the videos I’ve been talking about over the course of this Season which Matt keeps forgetting to watch beforehand.
In this episode, I sat down with Pastor Justin and asked about the origins and goals of The Great Divorce Project.
