Why I Preach from the Received Text
Body
“according to Myers, this very day I carried, heard, and preached from translations based on Satan’s Bible. The Bibles I read—that is extremely similar to his—are part of a corrupt stream deriving somehow from gnostic heretics.” - Mark Ward

From the Archives – Reason, Faith and the Struggle for Western Civilization: A Review
Some time ago, I came across Samuel Gregg’s book while perusing items at Acton.org, and the title caught my eye.

Natural Theology and the Uneasy Conscience of Modern “Calvinism”
Body
“Bavinck defines [natural theology] as theology that is ‘through’ the natural order compared to supernatural theology (Scripture) that is ‘from beyond’ the natural order. … Therefore, natural theology should be understood as knowledge of God the Creator through his creation.” - London Lyceum

Will We Know Each Other in Heaven?
Body
“…let me offer seven Scriptures that I have used to help people who wonder if they will be reunited with their believing loved ones in heaven. All of these point to our knowing one another in the resurrection, and some of them point to believers knowing one another immediately after death.” - Colin Smith
