You can often tell things about people by the words they use. For example, a person’s name often ties them to an age group. Phrases they know and use also show this – “Pin or sign?” only makes sense to people over a certain age. Likewise, the importance of the concept of legacy matters to older people and holds little interest for young people. 
Legacy is what we leave behind for the next generation. Over generations, several of our diocesan heroes have stated their goal to “leave the Diocese more evangelical than they found it”. After World War II many significant building projects were undertaken because of the great need for new churches in new areas, but the common mantra was not about today’s needs. It was, “Let’s build something for future generations”.
Legacy is, therefore, a view to a long-term horizon rather than an immediate one. It makes sense that because young people tend to operate with an immediate horizon that legacy concerns are diminished. 
It is generous to forego something in the present for the benefit of those not yet born.
Of course, the world we live in expects us to live only in the immediate. Andrew Root (writer of The Congregation in the Secular Age) says our social media and digital world shapes us to want immediate outcomes and instant gratification. He says there is no longer space even for what he calls “sacred time”, where you can sit in church and meditate in wonder on God. Church now has to be full of sensory stimulation and the meeting of my and my family’s needs. Legacy, in this world, is a foreign word. 
The desire for legacy is praiseworthy and biblical. It is generous to forego something in the present for the benefit of those not yet born. The Scriptures speak of one generation’s responsibility to shape and provide for the next, especially in telling and trusting in the praiseworthy works of God (Psalm 78:4, 2 Timothy 2:2).
But legacy has a downside. It can, and sometimes does, inhibit change where it is beneficial. It can create a posture of “This is what we have always done, so don’t question it”. The question of protecting and preserving what is, or changing our ways, should always be addressed. 
This question is sometimes assumed to have different answers based on your age. But it is not that simple. Your disposition and the timeframe horizons you work within also come into play. So, what is the best way to act? 
From Genesis to Revelation, there is no doubt God is eternal and everlasting. This is why he can be trusted with every aspect of life (Ex 3:14-15, Heb 13:8, Ps 41:13; 90:2, 106:48, Heb 7:21, Jam 1:17). But the Scriptures expect people to change, and change fundamentally and deeply, under the power of God’s Spirit. This is the weight of the word repentance. 
In 2 Corinthians 3, Paul proclaims that Christians are changed from one degree of glory into another as we behold the face of God in Christ. We have a glorious, unchanging Lord who calls us to constant change. How do we hold the two together? 
This is further complicated because our sovereign God sometimes works in us with immediate effect, and at other times uses lifelong exposure to his word and people to transform us. He operates with multiple time horizons, and he chooses to do work differently with different people. 
What is the impact on the structure of church life? Should we change nothing because God is unchanging? Or should we constantly change and risk losing God-given blessings in the search for novelty to enhance immediate effect?
Secular management analyst Professor Alex Hill asked in his book Centennials, “What enables companies to exist and thrive after a century?” His conclusions resonate with what God says (after all God’s ways are best for everyone). Hill says legacy and growth are achieved by having two components: a stable core and a disruptive edge – and both can and should coexist. 
For Christians, our stable core lies in God and what he has established. God is sovereign, God is good, God is wise, he speaks the truth to our lost world in his word. Jesus is the only and necessary hope for every person, and God works to transform people through His Spirit. 
These are things we must believe, rejoice in and live out. You could add to this the perpetuation of that core: teach the next generation, and generations beyond that, and generously be open and giving of your resources to others.
our stable core lies in God and what he has established.
The disruptive edge might involve seeking input and wisdom from sources other than those who act as you do and belong to your tribe. This calls for discernment to evaluate their ways, motives and presuppositions as well as your own. 
Additionally, you could be open to unexpected insights and opportunities – and be willing to courageously explore how you might engage with them. This probably involves spending time just chatting with others about anything, as insights often derive from these conversations even if they seem inefficient at the time. 
Jesus set his eyes on heaven (Heb 12:2). The apostle Paul had eternal and heavenly horizons. He set his sights on what is unseen and eternal (2 Cor 4:16-18), and both call all who follow to do likewise. We must all have this heavenly horizon. And God gives the honour to his children to be involved in what he is doing by influencing generations to come and people who do not yet know him. 
This calls us to legacy thinking and acting. It is Christian to ask, “What can I provide to see the gospel widen and deepen in future generations?” And yet we must learn about promoting and using disruptive edges. God gives the changes and variety of events and seasons (Ecc 3:1-8), encouraging us not to rest and rely on only one way of operating.
“What can I provide to see the gospel widen and deepen in future generations?”
Managing change is difficult. It takes courage and requires wisdom. So, each of us should ask the Lord for this wisdom, which he grants without finding fault (Jam 1:5). Leaving in place and growing what should be left for future generations – and modifying how we function to promote the gospel in the present day – is an exciting journey we all share.

We travelled with our folding e-bike for a cycling holiday in France with no problems on the way out, but on return it was not allowed on the train
At the end of August my partner and I went on a cycling holiday in France with our folding e-bikes. We travelled by Eurostar and had no problems on the way out.
However, on the return journey we were stopped by security at Paris Gare du Nord and told our batteries would not be allowed on the train as “they were at risk of exploding”.
We are in our early 70s and before I booked I read the Eurostar guidance on e-bikes carefully. They are allowed, providing they are bagged and conform with size requirements, which ours did.
We could not get the security staff to change their minds so stowed the batteries in left luggage to avoid confiscation.
We missed our train, but were provided with a ticket for a later one, however that did not make our connection to Somerset.
The batteries are worth more than £1,000, so I complained to Eurostar and tried to get it to arrange for them to be transported to St Pancras for us to collect.
It told me to raise a complaint with SNCF, the French national railway company. However, it told me that security at the station is not its responsibility.
After several weeks of calls and emails it reached the point where we felt we had no choice but to travel back to Paris (by car and ferry) to retrieve the batteries.
I want Eurostar to reimburse us for all the expenses incurred – nearly £1,000 – because of this mistake, and to change the advice on its website.
I would never have considered travelling with our e-bikes if I had known there was a risk of confiscation.
CS, Bridgwater
With e-bikes an increasingly popular mode of transport, it is concerning to hear reports like this. I contacted Eurostar and it has apologised and offered to fully refund the extra costs you incurred.
“Foldable e-bikes and their batteries are permitted on our services,” it says. “Unfortunately, an error occurred in this instance, and we sincerely regret the difficulties it caused. We are addressing this with the security provider at Paris Gare du Nord to ensure all contracted staff are fully aligned with our policies on restricted and prohibited items.”

Preventing lemurs escaping via an icy lake and ensuring giraffes stay at a safe temperature – it's never a dull day at West Midlands Safari Park, even in winter.
The attraction will be closed for much of January, but behind the scenes the "workload is harder", say staff.
Ice needs clearing, animals receive extra bedding on the colder ground and with them using a "lot more energy in cold weather, you have to adjust diets".
"I've spent many hours breaking ice off water troughs," said head keeper of ungulates Lisa Watkins, of the metal squares where the residents seek out a drink.
"We don't leave without the animals having water. It's a big task… we have to sacrifice other things."
If the lake within the lemur area freezes solid, staff must get sticks around the edges to break it up, otherwise that could be a potential escape route.
Using probably three of four people, it could take about an hour depending on how thick the ice was, Miss Watkins said.
She reflected it had been a "tough year" with the cost-of-living crisis and poor weather.
The attraction in Bewdley, Worcestershire, still welcomed 715,000 visitors between October 2023 and September this year and had tried to remain competitive with 35% discounts when people book online.
The safari park has about 700 animals overall.
In the winter "everything is about preparation," Miss Watkins said, with workers ensuring heating systems are maintained before bad weather arrives.
Animals produce "more mess for us to clean," as they make more use of overnight housing and shelters that are visible on the drive-through safari.
Workers must keep giraffes, who are "built to lose heat," at between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius, so if one was out too long, staff try to coax them back in to their specially-heated home using branches.
But preparation starts well before the nights draw in. When leaves are on the trees in the summer, keepers chop them into airtight containers, so they can be winter giraffe food.
One beneficiary has been Strider, the oldest giraffe aged 21, although these residents cannot go out, if the ground is slippery.
Ms Watkins said: "If a giraffe breaks a leg, you can't repair it… They're more prone to injury."
The marmosets, small monkeys, would really struggle, if they were put out in the cold, the senior keeper said.
Also, if plenty of snow arrives, keepers must attend to paths for penguins used to a hot climate in South America.
Some on the park's register, however, can cope better than others with colder temperatures, such as camels accustomed to be in deserts where it can be minus 40 degrees.
Red pandas who come from the Himalayas were "in their element, the colder the better," while sea lions had "four inches of blubber," Miss Watkins pointed out.
The summer has other commitments, such as more patrols by keepers, so that visitors and animals are safe, but in the winter, with fewer staff, it is a different challenge.
Miss Watkins said: "We have to defrost padlocks. You have to defrost to get anywhere."

CHICAGO– Sunday was sort of a homecoming for safety Julian Love who grew up in Westchester, Illinois, a suburb outside of Chicago and because of that, he had a lot of people cheering for him in Thursday’s win.
“A lot of family, a lot of friends, former coaches,” Love said.
Before Thursday’s game, throughout his NFL career, Love had played at Soldier Field three times previously with the New York Giants, all of those games ended in a loss, but tonight was a bit different.
“That’s great. I love playing here. I feel like I always play well here but just never got the win,” Love said. “That was a former time though. I’m a Seahawk and I only get wins in here.”
And Love was right, the four times, including Thursday’s performance were all memorable games. In 2019, his rookie season, Love came up with an interception that he returned for 30 yards and a pass defensed. In 2020, he had five tackles, an interception and a pass defensed. And in Thursday’s game, although he didn’t come up with an interception, he passed a career milestone, notching 100 tackles on the season for the third consecutive year.
“That’s exciting, 100 tackles,” Love said. “That’s something I really hang my head on. Since I was a young kid, I felt like tackling was, to be a defensive player, just part of the game. I don’t think it is appreciated as much as it should [be] but I’m extremely proud of that, especially my changing roles, week to week to be able to do that consecutively, I’m proud of it.”
The defense as a whole was productive, coming up with 7.0 sacks collectively, 54 tackles, and an interception.
“Everyone was just locked in,” Love said on the defensive performance. “And everyone was balling and there’s such a confidence going on there.”
Love added, “We were having fun. I don’t know if it was the rain, the temperature, the weather. It was like playing backyard football. I felt like everyone was connected with communicating well, we were just running and hitting.”

The Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 official PC system requirements have been shared online today, detailing what players will require to run the second entry in the system at various resolutions, frame rates and quality settings.
To run the game at 1080p resolution, 30 frames per second, players will need an Intel i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600 CPU, GTX 1060 (6 GB), or RX 580, and 16 GB RAM. As the target resolution and framerate increase, so do the requirements, and to run Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 at either 1440p at 60 FPS or 2160p at 30 FPS, players will need an Intel i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XT GPU and 32 GB RAM. Judging from the system requirements, it definitely looks like the game will be rather CPU-intensive, which is not surprising, considering what its predecessor did.
However, this is not a betrayal of the promise that the game runs well even on low-end hardware. We contacted Warhorse and confirmed that these are the requirements targeting native resolution. Needless to say, everything will run faster when using NVIDIA/AMD/Intel upscalers, which are practically essential these days.
Warhorse Studios also shared today the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 console specs, which highlight how both the base PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X will feature a Performance mode running at unlocked 60 FPS with VRR and upscaled 1440p resolution. On PlayStation 5 Pro, the game will run at upscaled 2160p resolution with PSSR and unlocked 60 FPS.
Together with the confirmation of the PC system requirements and console specs, Warhorse Studios also shared a new Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 story trailer today. You can check it out below.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 launches on February 4th on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S worldwide, having just been moved up one week from the previous February 11 release date. Pre-orders are now open on all platforms. The Gold Edition is priced €20 more and comes with the Season Pass, which includes three upcoming expansions as well as the bonus unlockable content Shields of Seasons Passing. Available on day one, Shields of Season Passing lets you customize your shields with one of four unique designs.
There’s also a Collector’s Edition priced at €200 that adds the following physical items to the Gold Edition’s content:
All pre-orders for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 include the Lion’s Crest bonus quest, which will provide the legendary armor and weapons of Knight Brunswick upon completion.

The Billings-Logan International Airport is seeing a record number of passengers since the pandemic this December.
Just this month, the airport has seen 80,000 passengers, and over 900,000 this year.
In comparison, December 2022 and 2023 had roughly 71,000 passengers.
The Billings airport’s record for most passengers was in December of 2019, with about 87,000. However, one of the airport’s operation supervisors, Mick McCarthy, expects this year to surpass that number.
Because of these high numbers, long-term parking has become quite a bit of an issue.
As far as the eye can see, parked cars lined the street on Thursday.
“We don’t have really any quick fix for this problem. We’re just doing the best we can, and serve our customers the best we can and hopefully everyone can see that,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy has worked at the airport for 31 years and hasn’t seen parking this intense since the 1990s. He gets to work at 3 a.m. and counts the amount of spots available. He said recently those spots have been claimed by 5 a.m.
McCarthy believes this is happening for a variety of reason, such as the airport’s recent $60 million expansion of Terminal B, additional flights to Denver and Phoenix, the holiday season, and people traveling post-pandemic.
“A lot of people are just tired of staying at home, I think. It’s just steadily been increasing after COVID. Everybody was kind of stuck at home, and so we’ve been seeing an increase every year after that,” he said.
On Thursday, cars were parked in long-term parking, the overflow lot, grassy areas near the Rims, past the Beacon Air Group, with some parking nearly a mile away form the airport terminal.
The airport staff have accommodated for the issue, providing free shuttles to and from the overflow parking, having staff outside to help park cars, and putting the snow removal staff on parking duty.
Brian Shannahan was on his way to Buffalo on Thursday. He’s from Musselshell County, so he was surprised by the parking situation but was thankful to encounter an airport shuttle transporting passengers to the entrance.
“I didn’t mind a bit. I appreciated the shuttle. I didn’t know that there would be a shuttle out there,” he said.
Some passengers were luckier than others, like Nick Vertz.
Vertz thought of trying the long-term parking lot in hopes someone would be leaving a spot. He was able to find a spot and had a short walk to the terminal.
“I can’t complain at all,” he said.
Until the holiday season slows down, airport staff is planning on short-term solutions to get them through these next few years, like allowing passengers with handicap tags to park in short-term parking.
McCarthy said shuttles will run from 4 a.m. until Midnight until needed. He hopes the airport will eventually build an additional lot or parking garage to prevent a similar situation in the future.
“We’ll continue to run the shuttle regardless of if we’re doing snow removal, ‘cuz we don’t want our passengers to have to walk that .25 of a mile in a snowstorm dragging their suitcase,” he said.
