    In a culture which prizes self-sufficiency, we need to rely on God.

    Australian males prize self-sufficiency. It’s not masculine to ask anyone else for help. It’s not macho to admit that you can’t handle something on your own. I’m probably one of the worst offenders when it comes to having this sort of attitude. I hate anyone having to show me how to do anything, ...read more

    We are not commanded to blindly believe what the Scriptures teach. Rather "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord". Paul "reasoned" with Felix. Christianity IS the thinking man’s faith!

Jewish pilgrims, priests, vendors, thieves, rebels, beggars, prostitutes … rabble! … all crammed into Jerusalem’s narrow streets … and it ...read more
