Amazing Grace

The song Amazing Grace was written by John Newton, an ex-slaver who repented. It’s easy to think that the amazing part of grace is that God forgave him for his horrible past. This isn’t true, however. What do you call it when a judge lets a first-time criminal off with probation? It’s called mercy. The [...]

Theme Change

I changed the theme on this blog. Let me know if you like it or not by clicking the comment link above. (It gives the number of comments, but it’s a link.)

Rebelution

Okay, I borrowed someone’s word, but since I’m going to give them a rousing advertisement, I think it will be okay. You can find The Rebelution at http://www.therebelution.com (don’t forget the “the” if you intend to memorize that for later).

The Bible and the Church

Well, I’m still reading A High View of Scripture? by Craig Allert, and I’m still it in random order.I’m in the middle of the third chapter, but I’ve read the end and beginning of it already. He brings up a very interesting point I’d like for any of you who might happen to read this to [...]

The Canon and the Crowbar

We are having a “writers guild” meeting on Oct. 14, and we will be working to make updates to the RCV web site more common. Hopefully, you’ll be [...]
