As rulers, as divine image-bearers, and as cosmic fire starters, humanity has the kind of significance reserved, in other religions, for the gods. Glen Scrivener

Another hot and windy morning but the bike was calling me. A ride past Bunnings and around town brought me past the Anglican Church St Cyprians #cycling #Narrabri

Heaven and earth were made for a properly functioning humanity. Faulty humanity means a faulty world. Glen Scrivener

The idea of presenting a tortured man as art is subversive to say the least. To claim—as Christians do—that the man on the cross was God is the most revolutionary notion the world has ever entertained. Glen Scrivener

Thoroughly enjoyed a longer ride today, right up to the entrance to the Mount Kaputar National Park.

The cross is the most globally recognised symbol, certainly of religion, but perhaps of anything. Glen Scrivener

It was nice to feel a slight coolness in the air this morning. I rode to Bunnings then back through town. I forgot to turn off to go to Riverbend so the ride was shorter than expected #cycling #Narrabri

The extraordinary impact of Christianity is seen in the fact that you don’t notice it. You already hold particularly “Christian-ish” views, and the fact that you think of these values as natural, obvious or universal shows how profoundly the Christian revolution has shaped you. Glen Scrivener

Here’s the contention of this book: if you’re a Westerner—whether you’ve stepped foot inside a church or not, whether you’ve clapped eyes on a Bible or not, whether you consider yourself an atheist, pagan or Jedi Knight—you are a goldfish, and Christianity is the water in which you swim. Glen Scrivener

A beautiful morning preceding a forecast hot day. A nice ride to Jacks Creek and Gun Club Roads. #narrabri #cycling
