18,000 churches burned.
More than 100,000 murdered.
Christians are the most persecuted group of people in the world, but there’s *crickets* from mainstream media.
Atheists believe in at least six miracles:
1 Something from nothing
2 Order from chaos
3 Life from non-life
4 Personal from the non-personal
5 Reason from non-reason
6 Morality from matter

I re-read the book of Judges recently. Because of other conversations taking place in our church about women in leadership, I was keenly aware of the trajectory of the treatment of women in the book of Judges.
Early on: a woman is a praise-worthy judge (Deborah!); a woman (Jael) acts courageously to kill a wicked general; then an unnamed woman flings a stone from a tower to kill a bully.
But things get worse. Women play the role of temptress in the Samson story. By the end of the book, an unnamed concubine is given over to a mob of lustful men, and she is killed. Her body is then sliced into pieces and sent throughout the nation to spark outrage.
Think of it: Women go from being a judge to being a prop.
And what's the headline of the book of Judges? "The people did what was right in their own eyes."
Left on its own, the trajectory of a sinful culture results in the degradation of women.
It is the redemptive action of God in the world that elevates and empowers women.
For all the insinuation that women in church leadership is the result of "cultural corruption" , I have become convinced it was the influence of sin that excluded women in the first place.
Who would have anticipated this? Bible sales in both the UK and the USA are on the rise.
And according to this Times article it’s being driven by Gen Z.

@seanfeucht This may be true - but it was Zelensky who displayed humility. He maybe took Vance’s bait which could’ve been avoided but Trump/Vance showed far more arrogance. Listen to your Christian brethren in Ukraine rather than Russian propaganda.
The New Testament documents are much closer to the events they report than any other ancient document.
There is far too little time for myths and legends to develop:
Why has the Archbishop of Canterbury changed his mind on gay sex? Peter Lynas believes it’s because the Archbishop has adopted a view of morality which is based more on personal preference than objective standards
