Are you Bible-ish or Bible-strong?

The Book that Changed the World: I am holding Erasmus' first edition tour de force Novum Instrumentum (est. AD 1516). Erasmus' contribution to the Reformation and eventually, our English Bible, was incalculable. Here is the headline of this email: If I am in the Word of God, I will discover and implement God’s will for my life. But that is a big "if," [...]

The Greatest of All Virtues

"And when He had given thanks (εὐχαριστέω), He gave ..." Mark 14:23 Dear rob A passage not often associated with "thanksgiving" is the story of Jesus's astonishing miracle in Luke 17. Jesus heals ten lepers and only one ("a foreigner," by the way) bothered to return with gratitude (see Luke 17:11–19).

Sin poisons everything … we must stand for grace and truth

Advertisements in Vancouver revive the "one planet - one child" pseudo-science regression built on dangerous eugenic ideas and eco-fascism.  We are led to believe that the far-superior air filtration on modern airplanes makes it so social distance is irrelevant and you have no chance of Covid infection. The same filters are not adequate to allow for this "close fellowship" in worship centers [...]
