Radio program went well this morning, I’m still dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s. Or is it the other way around? Either way, no one can be unsure of what we are saying, based solely on the Word.

Acts 11.35 is a killer for those who deny that doing something is related to salvation. “[B]ut in every nation, he who fears him and is working righteousness, is acceptable to him” (Modern Literal Version; also KJV, ASV, NKJV, BLB).

No wonder most later versions softened the phrase.
There. Blog post done. Then there's tomorrow ...
