"Make a mistake in the interpretation of one of Shakespeare's plays, falsely scan a piece of Spenserian verse, and there is unlikely to be an entailment of eternal consequence; but we can not lightly accept a similar laxity in the interpretation of Scripture. We are dealing with God's thoughts: we are obligated to take the greatest pains to understand them truly and to explain them clearly."

Overheard at Element's PRAXIS small group, via Gospel-Driven Church:
"I became a Christian eight months ago. If I go back to my country, they'll hang me." (Pause) "But it's okay."Beautiful . . .
This makes me smile. and it makes me cry.
