Please adhere to the following rules to prevent banishment to Siberia (no offense to our Siberian visitors):
Do not use the blog to promote yourself, as your surrogate blog, or as an advertisement. I am sure you are interesting and have some really nice things to say, but you can get your own blog.
Do not call authors out for debate. You must count the cost (Lk. 14:31). You don’t want to get whipped up on anyway.

If you believe in and benefit from this ministry, please consider becoming a parter by donating here. One-time and monthly donors are both greatly appreciated!
