An eye for an eye, and the whole world goes blind

There's a video on this week's WordLive talking about whether it is right to treat people badly if they've wronged us.

What role does justice, and our sense of personal justice - take a look at the news most days and you'll see people claiming that justice has been done through the retribution of the courts, play in all this? Should we forgive and forget? Is incarceration an outmoded form of revenge?



So what do you think? Why not leave a thought in the comments or make a video response on youtube, we'd love to see what you think.

Jars of Clay - Two Hands

I've always quite liked Jars of Clay, they are sincere.

So when the following video and information popped into my inbox, I thought I'd share it with the rest of you.



Sometimes music videos tell stories. This video tells the story of a band's journey to get our own hands dirty. Someone once defined the role of an artist as the act of looking at the world and describing it...not just as the world is... but also as it should be.

There is only so much looking and describing a band can do when faced with injustices, and tragedies... and also the heroic stories of those who rise above their fears and overcome insurmountable obstacles. Two Hands is a song about overcoming our own fears and finding reasons to care about others even when we don't feel equipped to do so.

This video shows our work in Africa with Blood:Water Mission. We hope it inspires you, and allows you to dream about how you can use your two hands to love and serve those around you.

And when you are done watching the video... check out BloodWaterMission.com AND come visit us out on the Creation Festival: The Tour this Fall!

What's been going on?

I haven't been around here recently and I do apologise for that. There are two reasons.

The first is that I took a little break from the hectic day to day schedule and had a couple of weeks holiday. I didn't do too much but I did have a nice rest.

The second is that I, and the rest of the digital team, have been hard at work putting together the second of our digital projects, LightLive. LightLive isn't quite ready for launch yet, but lookout as we enter May. In the meantime you can find out what is happening by checking out the LightLive blog here.

Finally, just in case you've furned up here and know nothing about WordLive then take a look at this:
