George Leslie Mackay, Presbyterian minister in Taiwan, describes a tooth-extracting ministry. Priests of other religions told them their own gods were source of healing. Mackay by direct allevation of a pain, opened reception to the gospel.

Were there any parallels in the past five years, where people sought spiritual remedies over simple medicine?

How can you address physical needs in the name of the gospel?

GEORGE LESLIE MACKAY (1844-1901) Far from Formosa "The people now know that they do not need to suffer the excruciating pain of toothache, and that they need not run any risk in obtaining relief. The priests and other enemies of the mission may persuade people that fever and other diseases have been cured, not by our medicines, but by the intervention of the gods ; but the relief from toothache is too unmistakable, and because of this tooth-extracting has been more than anything else effective in breaking down prejudice and opposition."

Finally finished that project during my lunch break today! Would love to see if anyone is willing to trial it and let me know your thoughts. If you do try it out please comment and let me know your thoughts.

Moderate #Christian leaders and scholars blast #Trump's anti-christian bias task force, suspecting it will favor one Christian tradition over others, and target progressive denominations. Such a task force is opposed by 78% of Americans, according to a recent poll. https://www.axios.com/2025/05/01/christian-leaders-denounce-white-house-task-force

In the Bible, the heart refers to our total inner being. To avoid hardness of heart, we must make sure our hearts are in proper relationship to God.

I am amused that some journalists reporting on events at the #Vatican conflate #Christian and #Catholic. They further assume that all Christians are part of the same 'party'. For the record "not my circus, not my monkeys".

#dyk (did you know)?
#Türkiye (former Osman empire) was originally pure #christian and #hagiasophia was a Christian cathedral. Only after conquering many #muslim countries and hence the majority of the citizens were Muslims, they turned to Islam as state religion.

P.S. So if #erdogan is eager to reinstate the #osman empire, does that mean they're all becoming Christians again?

#Christian leaders blast #Trump's "anti-Christian bias" unit. They say it will be weaponized to privilege one tradition within Christianity over others, creating anti-Christian bias even as it claims to combat it; and that 'anti-Christian bias' provides cover for white supremacy

Archibald Alexander, Presbyterian minister, considers timely giving of charity (Eccl 2:4). While a wise farmer might wait for best moment, the harvest may die in field. Your recipient may die before you satisfy every single scruple.

Today, is society entirely worried aout satisfying evey possible scruple, to the point of shutting down entire agencies for even the possibility of fraud?

How can you engage in a wise regarding of the clouds?

#christian #oldbook #biblegram #booklovers #thingstodo

ARCHIBALD ALEXANDER (1772 - 1851) A Day at a Time "Just as there is a regarding of the clouds before reaping which is simply wise. But, to wait till every scruple is satisfied, till every risk has been eliminated and there is not a cloud in the sky, is to wait for a state of matters that may be long enough in coming. Meantime the needy person may die; or the corn blacken in the fields."

“I hated myself for the sake of demonstrating how much I loved God.”
