    THOSE APRON STRINGS To “let go” does not mean to stop caring, it means that I can’t do it for someone else. To “let go” is not to cut myself off, it is the realization that I can’t control another. To “let go” is not to enable, but to allow learning from natural consequences. To “let go” is to ...read more

    Brown is right about one thing (and not much more). In the course of Christian history, few events loom larger than the Council of Nicea in 325.

    For practical purposes the words infallible and inerrant are interchangeable. When we apply them to the Bible, what we are saying is that only those who accept as from God all that Scripture proves to tell us, promise us, or require of us, can ever fully please him.

    God’s Word directs us in Malachi that in order to “stop” the cycle of withholding we must “release” those things we hold of value.
