Gossip
And there ‘s a lust in man no charm can tame Of loudly publishing our neighbour’s shame; On eagles’ wings immortal scandals fly, While virtuous actions are but born and die. Stephen Harvey (circa 1627): Juvenal, Satire ix There’s so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of […]
Resurrection – Incredible?
Read: Acts 26:1-8 Why should it be thought incredible by you that God raises the dead? -Acts 26:8 If Jesus did not rise from the dead and there is no future day of resurrection for us, then life loses all its meaning. If this life is all there is – just a few years of […]
