Examples of use of 13 & God
1. It is, as the Apostle Paul once observed about the demands of working out one‘s own salvation, "God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure" (Phil. 2:13). God working in you to do His–Her own will is the power behind compassion.
2. As I studied spiritual literature and prayed, I began to see more clearly that, as the Bible reported centuries ago, God is not in the wind, earthquake, or fire, and that God is of purer eyes than to behold evil (see II Kings 1'÷11, 12; Hab. 1÷13). God did not create terror or terrorists; God did not make any of His children violent, belligerent, warlike.
3. But what European music is on my iPod (or as this is a BBC site should I say "popular digital music player" as Blue Peter used to say "sticky–backed plastic"?) Well, it‘s not exactly "most frequently played", but I like France‘s 113 for making rap sound genuinely edgy and dangerous, rather than the cartoon nonsense from the States (why French should be better suited to rap than rock I don‘t know but linguists can probably come up with a good reason). 13 & God (great name), from Germany, are in a long tradition of Teutonic experimentation which pays off, on the whole.
