The Bible epilogue text can be found here.

Knife crime and Robert Mugabe are the targets of this piece.

Although I have used the text from Hannah in 1 Samuel 2, the specific Bible text in mind was the meekness beattitude. I have been thinking about this a lot in recent years (maybe I am growing up/weak?) and reflected on how much of the world around us (knife crime and Mugabe being extreme examples of course) is focussed on attainment through powerful/violent/aggressive means. It is a tell tale sign of a secular worldview that one has to make things happen or simply give up.

The christian worldview is so radically different that even the everyday christian has to pinch themselves to properly get this one. In fact, one usually needs to face something of genuine weakness to get it.

The Bible epilogue text can be found here (you may have to scroll down a bit to find the exact part...).

There is a classic bit in the selected Bible passage where the distinction between human and divine perception is made. God judges the heart, man judges appearance. I felt that there were some pretty obvious connections between the general election and strictly come dancing. I think that there is as much a comment being made on people who vote as well as the people trying to get the vote.

I got a version of this published on the channel 4 news site.
