“Love often manifests itself in giving people what they can’t appreciate and don’t want, and
in demanding from them precisely what they most want to retain for themselves.” — Tom

On the Third Day
Generally speaking, I don’t find fulfilled Bible prophecy a particularly useful tool in evangelism.
Some Christians disagree, of course. If it works for you, that’s great. Carry on. But it must be admitted that many of the Old Testament prophecies fulfilled in the life of Christ are a little on the obscure side. That is to say, when you look at them in their original context, it is not immediately apparent that they speak of Messiah.
We’re only sure of it because the Holy Spirit plainly states it to be so in the New Testament.

Should Christians Observe the Sabbath?
An electrical shabbat lamp. Should every Christian have one of these? |
Lauren F. Winner, for example, advocates a modified Sabbath observation for believers, despite evidently having read what the apostle Paul has to say about it.
Today’s post provides a useful counterbalance to that sort of thinking. RJA considers two significant aspects of Sabbath observance: its Biblical origins, and the question of whether or not the Sabbath should be observed by Christians today — Tom

Judenhass and Armageddon
“Why are Western liberals always more offended by Israeli militarism than by any other kind of militarism? It’s extraordinary.”
“Anyone possessed of a critical faculty must at some point have wondered why there’s such a double standard in relation to Israeli militarism, why missiles fired by the Jewish State are apparently more worthy of condemnation than missiles fired by Washington, London, Paris, the Turks, Assad, or just about anyone else on Earth.”
