Crime and Punishment

Crime and Punishment - Sermo Humilis

Justice is what you get when you apply biblical standards, knowingly or unknowingly, to life's sticky moments. This is why you are still able to get a fair trial from time to time, even when the magistrate doesn't have his bible open on the bench with a finger glued to Proverbs … [Read more...] about Crime and Punishment

The Lord of History

Apple Tree - Luther - sermo humilis

Tell it Not in Gath

From the Catholic confessional to the mid-week Bible study, believers have needed very little encouragement to spill the beans on themselves and, strictly for prayer, their neighbour. Truth be told, much of … [Read more...] about Tell it Not in Gath
