I was reading CS Lewis’ That Hideous Strength, or rather listening to it, and came across this description. I thought it was pretty wonderful. To make it even better, you should read the book, which is also wonderful. The third Jane was a new and unexpected visitant. Of the first there had been traces in […]
Sufficiency of Scripture (From Others)
The doctrine of the sufficiency of Scripture is a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith. To say the Scriptures are sufficient means that the Bible is all we need to equip us for a life of faith and service. It provides a clear demonstration of God’s intention to restore the broken relationship between Himself and […]

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
