Following God; March 11, 2023
2 Kings 17:15 They followed worthless idols and themselves became worthless. I was struck by this wording in the NIV, and when I read the Japanese it was essentially identical. We often say things like, “You are what you eat,” … Continue reading

Hiding from God; December 23, 2021
John 3:19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. John 3:16 is rightly the most famous verse in the Bible, but people really need to … Continue reading
