Persecution: It’s a Promise

Will God Save Mathematicians?

Do excuse the “geekiness” of this sharing as I just decided to have a break half-way through from marking some statistics exams.  I have always believed that God speaks to us through a language that we find most comfortable.  When speaking to Joshua, Israel’s general, God appeared as The Commander […] Read more »

A Tribute to Romans 3
