Perfectly Kept
Monday mornings are probably not the perfect time for a grammar lesson, but then, it’s often said “there’s no time like the present”. There’s also no tense quite like the Perfect, but I suppose all tenses have unique characteristics. I’m not going to elaborate on all the tenses here, but for the purposes of enjoying…
Good News for Sinners
‘This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.’ 1 Timothy 1:15 [NKJV] I Am A Sinner Admit this, and this verse of Scripture holds good news for you. Deny it knowingly, and Jesus Christ cannot help you. However,…

It’s quite another to be pigheaded and proud of it. The Bible constantly characterises the fool as one who has not prepared for the future (Matt 7:26,…
