“Have I then no work to work in this great matter of my pardon? None. What work canst thou work? What work of thine can buy forgiveness or make thee fit for the Divine favour? What work has God bidden thee work in order to obtain salvation? None. His Word is very plain and easy to be understood, ‘To him that worketh not, but believeth in Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.’ (Rom. 4:5). There is but one work by which a man can be saved. That work is not thine, but the work of …

The Dawning of the Day of Discarnate Discomfiture. Well, golly gee, it is December 22, 2012, and to the chagrin of some, the world didn’t come to an end yesterday. The sun did rise in the East this morning, the magnetic poles did not reverse, Yellowstone didn’t go ka-boom, the atmosphere was not ripped from the Earth by the passing of that allegedly-so-sneaky-that-even-astronomers-can’t-see-it Nibiru, and Woody Harrelson didn’t get his life-imitates-art “I told you so” close-up. The crystal channeling New Agers have now had their equivalent of Y2K. What is the real meaning December 22, 2012? I would say that …

This is the birthday of Charles Wesley (born 1707 – 29 March 1788). He wrote more that 1,700 hymns. My middle name was chosen in honor of the Wesley brothers. (My family has a strong Reformed tradition.) — Today is also the birthday of Jørgen Haagen Schmith (born 1910, died October 15, 1944). He was better known under the codename Citron, was a famous Danish resistance fighter in occupied Denmark. His exploits were dramatized in the movie Flame and Citron. I pray that I’m never put in the same difficult position that Schmith was in. Wars of resistance are rarely …

Please note that they are both volunteer editors. Their efforts are greatly appreciated!
