A nice God overlooks sin. But the God of the Bible is not nice.
- R. T. Kendall
A little thought that just came to me: “The authenticity of the evangelion is not our responsibility.”
Might need discussing. Maybe in reference to the following questions:
Why is the gospel true?
Who is the gospel for?
This afternoon I had a slow motion gun fight.
With a goose.
I am now going to jump on a big Christian bandwagon because I like both bands and wagons. I saw The DaVinci Code the other night, and I thought I might comment on it briefly. I was pleasantly surprised considering the slating it got in the press, it was alright, perfectly watchable. The theology though […]
I lay my life before you, and I’m not getting up
