Don Carson speaks on Hebrews 4:14–7:28 in this keynote address during The Gospel Coalition’s 2021 National Conference.
Light is so important that it’s ludicrous to think anyone would want to extinguish the flickering flame from an olive-oil lamp by smothering it with a peck measure. That burning wick may cast only a little light by modern standards, but if the alternative is pitch blackness, its light is wonderful, quite sufficient for everyone in the house (Matt. 5:15).

Theme park designer Don Caron explains how story can dictate style:
"When you are tackling a new project it is helpful to establish rules by which the entire project exists within. These are rules your guests will likely never be aware of, but if you break a rule they may become aware of the inconsistency within your design. These rules will be where you return every time you are asked a question and the answer will be based on how well a detail, no matter how small will support or break those rules. [...]
"An example of a simple rule contained within an attraction’s narrative, is one we used when designing Walt Disney World’s Splash Mountain. [...] This is a world where humans and anthropomorphized animals coexist, but they are completely separate despite their proximity.
"We needed to establish a rule that would quickly communicate how each detail was approached and designed. To do this we invented the idea of 'Human Built vs Critter Built' structures.
"Humans build by sawing, hammering and nailing lumber or masonry together, while Critters build by biting, chewing, gnawing, and tying organic things together. Although a relatively simple rule, it greatly helped every team member understand the design requirements of each element within the attraction.
"While the interior ride was primarily Critter Built, the exterior had a mix of Human Built details like the Frontierland Train Station and entry Barn which sat right next to vignetted Critter built elements. This is a simple rule but I believe it is one of the reasons this attraction is so successful."

Mickey’s Toontown, Disneyland
Building facade concept elevation by Don Carson
In Canada it’s possible to go camping hundreds of miles away from any city or town. If it’s a cloudy night, and there’s no phosphorus in the area, the darkness is total. A hand held three inches from your face can’t be seen. But if there’s a city nearby, perhaps 100 miles away, the darkness is relieved. The light from the city is reflected off the clouds, and the night, once perfectly dark, is no longer quite so desolate. Likewise Christians who let their light shine before men can’t be hidden; the good light they shed attenuates the darkness that would otherwise be absolute.
Don Carson
Prison reform, medical care, trade unions, control of a perverted and perverting liquor trade, abolition of slavery, abolition of child labor, establishment of orphanages, reform of the penal code—in all these areas the followers of Jesus spearheaded the drive for righteousness. The darkness was alleviated. And this, I submit, has always been the pattern when professing Christians have been less concerned with personal prestige and more concerned with the norms of the kingdom.
