“Holes the size of football fields”

12/12/2007 – 4:39 pm

From Transformed by Truth, an out-of-print booklet by somebody who helped shepherd the Worldwide Church of God out of their cult beliefs:
When you start carefully reading Anglo-Israelite literature, you begin to notice how it generally depends on folklore, legends, quasi-historical genealogies, and dubious etymologies. None of these sources proves an Israelite origin for the peoples [...]

Is there anybody in there?

4/16/2007 – 8:40 am

Although far from being a godly song, I used to identify a lot with “Comfortably Numb” from Pink Floyd’s album The Wall.

2004 in Short Review

12/30/2004 – 10:54 am

The last few years I have had a tradition of posting an end-of-year review of everything that has happened in our lives and ministries. This will not be as detailed as the reviews of previous years, but here we go:
