LICC Tribute to John Stott



John Stott died yesterday, peacefully in St Barnabas, the care home where he's spent the last few years. Here was a godly man indeed.

And a friend to hundreds of thousands of people - through gracious word spoken eye to eye, through gracious word spoken from platforms, and through gracious word written in many books. But, in whatever context, John's words were clean with a joyous clarity, crafted in prayer, and offered back to the Spirit who shaped them for His purposes - for the honour of Jesus' name and the glory of the Father.

When John spoke, there was never any doubt whose messenger he was.

In even trying to encapsulate John's achievements and his character, it's hard to know with which to begin. His extraordinary undertakings in biblical scholarship, in thought leadership, in growing a local church, in building up evangelicals in the Church of England, in reshaping international mission to include social action, in creating an international movement of evangelicals - all this make his graciousness, meekness and humility seem all the more remarkable. Similarly, his graciousness makes his achievements seem all the more extraordinary - how, from a human point of view, did such a gentle, kind man manage to help gather so many to fresh missional purpose and radical cooperation? Jesus, would be his answer, I'm sure.

John was one of the founders of LICC, our first Director and our President until yesterday. He saw the urgent need to enable Christians to integrate their faith with their whole life - at work as well as in the neighbourhood, in the lecture theatre as well as in the sanctuary. And he led and shaped LICC to develop and offer wisdom to Christians from all over the world and from all kinds of professional and ecclesiastical contexts. He maintained a vigorous interest in our work and when we last visited him, his delight at our progress in the cause and his concern to see LICC continue to flourish were gleamingly evident.

We have developed some tribute pages and you can read more about John's life and/or watch clips of an interview with Brian Draper. And you can also write your own tribute.

John anticipated that some people might like to make a thanksgiving gift to support the causes that most concerned him - LICC and the Langham Partnership International - and if you'd like to do that click here.

There is indeed so much about John to give thanks, and praise, to God for.

But this is also a time of grief for us, and for many, many people.

May the God of all comfort, grant you his comfort at this time.

Sophie Madeleine

For the last 30 days Sophie Madeleine has been doing a cover a day to promote the official release of her album 'The Rhythm You Started'. You can find all the covers rapped up in a neat little package here.

Once you have listened to those you can see her new video for the song 'Oil and Gold' from her new album below:



Great! Now you are hooked, go and buy the album. If you buy it at Xtramile you get a super secret special track (that I don't have as I already own it :( (Also at various other famous online superstores).

Still not convinced? Then how about listening to the album here.

Still not convinced? Then you are a Philistine of the most vile kind!

Holiday song (The Lazy Song parody)

It's the last week of term and therefore my last assembly of the year so I thought I'd do something special. Below are the lyrics to a parody of Bruno Mars' The Lazy Song. Feel free to use it if you like it As usual I'm sorry about the chords not being in the right place but that's Blogger! (or my idiocy). I'll embed the original video below so you'll know the tune and chord changes. Maybe one day I will buy a good camera and mic so I can deafen dazzle you with my voice.

Every day I’ve done what I had to do
Now it’s time to put up my feet, yeah!

Strutting my stuff in my new funky jeans

Tomorrow I wake up and get given chores;
Tidy my bedroom and vacuum the floors.

My mum looks after me every day
So I’ll do my chores before I go out to play
To show my parents I really care.

Oh, yes it’s time now
It’s time now
It’s time now to chill out

Linking Leviticus 17:11 and John 6:53

If you've not come across Bibledex yet then you are missing out.



Lev 17: 10-11
"I will set my face against any Israelite or any foreigner residing among them who eats blood, and I will cut them off from the people. For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I have given it to you to make atonement for yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes atonement for one’s life."

John 6: 53 "Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif

I'd never come across this specific link before although it seems really obvious. The idea of blood as necessary for atonement is drilled into us from early on in our faith but this particular link, I've missed. A few thoughts on the video though:

"Jews, and actually Christians as well according to Acts 15, are not supposed to eat blood"
Is this not an issue over unity in the body of Christ, especially in relation to the acceptance of Gentiles, rather then an absolute commandment? It seems to make most sense to me read in light of Peter's interaction with Cornelius and the vision in Acts 10 and Paul's understanding of eating food sacrificed to idols and how that relates to other believers in 1 Corinthians 8?

"The temple would have actually have smelled like a slaughter house"
Perhaps this makes sense of the importance on incense in temple worship!

"You must drink the blood in order to have life in you"
It emphasises the necessity of drinking Jesus' blood both in the symbolic sense and also in the sacrament. If we are to have [true] life in us then we must partake of Jesus' life given up for us.
