But the church had great cultural power in Germany. So when it balked and chose not to use its voice and its cultural power, it doomed the entirety of the German Church, which in turn doomed the whole nation.  Eric Metaxas

A rare sighting of a family of Roadus Fixitus in the wild, off Yarrie Lake Rd this morning. It was a good ride only diminished by a strong S. breeze. #cycling #Narrabri #Biketooter

We should say that whenever a church is subservient to the state or to the reigning worldly culture—as the official church in communist China is today—it is no longer the Church of Jesus Christ. It is a counterfeit church that does not serve Jesus, but that serves the forces of power, which is to say it serves the devil. Eric Metaxas
