Jesus said "Don't worry about your life..." and "Don't worry about tomorrow..." but surely we should be worried at times. Couldn't help thinking that as I read again about Lot and his exit from Sodom. He appears frustratingly relaxed despite the urgently repeated warnings from the angels to flee the city. Not as "manyana" as his 2 sons-in-law though. They treated it as a big joke, and consequently perished. A little more worry there could have been helpful! Worry that paralyses is certainly no good but sometimes worry can energise.

Selwyn Hughes mentions 3 important creeds -- the Apostle's, the Athanasian and the Nicene. To see these creeds and a brief background to each, go to www.elca.org/communication/creeds/creeds.html It's the Nicene Creed alone that mentions the kingdom -- "And his kingdom will have no end."
