• A woman to be remembered

    Remember Lot’s wife! (Luke 17:32, NIV) The solemn warning: Christ does not bid us remember Abraham, or Isaac, or Jacob, or Sarah, or Hannah, or Ruth.

  • Total depravity and holiness

    Total depravity The blind man can see no difference between a masterpiece of Titian or Raphael, and the Queen’s Head on a village signboard.
