Stop me if you have heard this one before....
A group of Bible Smugglers, John Calvin, and the Pilgrims walk into a bar, order a Bloody Mary and laugh - because it connects them all.
In our latest article we tell you how Bloody Marys are connected to the long history of Bible smuggling.

For the record: Hate is not a crime. Hate often leads to crimes but emotion is not a crime. Restricting freedom of thought, opinion, and speech is a crime. If hate is a crime, we are all criminals because we have all hated someone at some time. Many of those decrying "hate" actually hate those they accuse.

Just finished reading “John Newton: from disgrace to amazing grace” by Jonathan Aitken. Best biography on John Newton I’ve read.
He’s not as well known today (at least in USA & UK) as he use to be. So here’s a brief overview of his testimony:
He was raised in a christian home, but became a rebellious youth. He coursed, drank too much, was cruel, sexually immoral, and wound up in the slave trade (and was even briefly “a slave to slaves”). But God got a hold of him and turned his life completely around. He became a devoted husband, popular Anglican pastor (with evangelical tendencies), well known author of books and hymns ( “Amazing Grace” is still the most recorded hymn), an abolitionist, and mentor to William Wilberforce (who lead the political campaign to abolish slavery in England).
I encourage you to read more more about him (especially if this is the first you’ve heard about him). And I highly recommend this book as a way to do that.
🔥MAJOR MAJOR WIN🔥
Whether you like Trump or hate him, this was a GREAT win for Christians in America from SCOTUS. In a time of increased persecution around the world, SOMETIMES it feels so good to see some good news.
6-3 majority vote. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/02/06/supreme-court-blocks-calif-prohibiting-indoor-church-services/4324338001/

I love books. Mainly history & biography, but enjoy classic fiction once in awhile.
