Review: "Born Again This Way" by Rachel Gilson

Rachel interweaves each chapter with the expounding of different Scriptures, including the relevant subject matter, life stories and experiences. The unexpectedness of each chapter is refreshing to read, and there seems to be something new around each corner.

Does the Bible say “Stay Safe” or “Risk Your Life”?

All good theology starts with God, and when we look at Scripture, we see that God is a God of righteousness (Psalm 19:9, Deuteronomy 32:4).

In this article, Adam explores the biblical tension between keeping the vulnerable safe from danger and taking appropriate risks ourselves.

It is a day (or days) set aside from the regular day to day work or labour. Of course, this dates right back to the seventh day of creation in Genesis.
