Hebrews 13:14

The epistle to the Hebrews, Douglas Coupland, "Walk On" and contemporary culture's pervasive sense of "homelessness"? Oh heck yes. That'll preach! In fact, it did last week, here. I think those seven characteristics of "home" are great. Hard to know what it is if you've never had one.

I also just want to note this phrase from Prodigal Kiwi's writeup, because amongst all the misunderstandings of focus ("But is U2 Christian?" "Who says Bono meant that lyric as a Bible reference?" "Are you bringing rock 'n' roll into church to reach the youth?"), he states exactly the approach Get Up Off Your Knees takes: "how U2 lyrics help us hear scripture and gospel in the midst of our contemporary context."
