Today is a day of traveling: around 24 hours of it. Over the years I have had the privilege of seeing much of our world. I have visited many of the countries in Europe, as well as Asia, Australasia and North America but today I head to South America for the very first time. I will be away for 10 days which will include ministry time in north eastern Brazil. God willing, I will endeavor to continue to write here on the blog (as good internet connections allow). I would very much value your prayers for this short time away. May all God’s purposes be established.
Years ago, it was not very important for most Christians to be aware of the issues when it comes to textual criticism of the New Testament. The debate took place mainly in the halls of academia and the vast majority of people had no idea of the issues and they would hardly ever come up in conversation with neighbors. That is certainly not the case today. When Christians share their faith, it is very often the case (if not the norm) that they are immediately confronted with mis-information from people who have heard certain things attacking the trustworthiness and reliability of the Bible. The attacks have gone mainstream.
With Scripture alone as the firm and solid foundation, I affirm that justification is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, all to the glory of God alone.
