    This week in the Arab states, there are ongoing struggles between the official government forces and those who want change. It is a struggle about power. It is a struggle about who has the power.

    Jesus talks about the end of the world. But the focus is not on fear and trembling; but on faith and trust in him, and preparing for it through right living now.

    The first section of chapter 3 dealing with our speech but in the context of "active" Christian living for others not a totally separate secton
