Byhenry October 20, 2012

I think this post at BioLogos makes some important points. Besides, Dennis Venema does some excellent writing (not in this post, it’s about him).

Welcoming Visitors
Byhenry August 21, 2013
Allan Bevere has some excellent notes. As someone who has visited many churches, and experienced just about all of what he describes, I can just say “Amen!” Don’t smother. Don’t ignore. Be helpful!

Quote of the Day – Chicken Sandwiches or Daily Bread
Byhenry August 4, 2012

Byhenry October 10, 2016

Byhenry February 12, 2010
I would say it’s a statement on creation and evolution, but I’m not quite sure what it is. Earlier (Seventh-day Adventist Education and Evolution) I wrote about the concerns about the teaching of evolution in biology classes at La Sierra University, a Seventh-Day Adventist school in California.
