κηρυσσων την βασιλειαν του θεου και διδασκων τα περι του κυριου ιησου χριστου μετα πασης παρρησιας ακωλυτως. The underlying meaning of this blog is this: the essential unity of Christians worldwide regardless of race, nationality, or religious denomination. There are real disagreements among us but there is a small remnant in every authentically Christian gathering. The Holy Spirit is leading His remnant into deeper understandings of the "meat" of the Gospel and not just the "milk."
Look at this NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration, USA) photo of Pulsar Wind Nebula PSR B1509-58. The Earth would be an infinitesimally small fleck of dust if it were contained in this cloud. The cloud is hundreds of millions of miles across.
It is probably just a natural phenomenon but it does appear to be a hand, even showing fingernails. The incredibly immense and the incredibly small all point to the Creator.

There is no excuse,
For the glories of the Earth
Show it to be so.
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Romans 1:20
The Merneptah Stele is also known as the Israel Stele or the Victory Stele of Merneptah. A stele (plural: stelae) is an ancient stone or wooden slab put into place for a funeral or as a commerative, usually for the declaration of the deceased's glorious accomplishments. They were sometimes placed at borders to denote national ownership of a territory.
The Merneptah Stele, dated to about 1205 BC/BCE, declares the glories of the Egyptian pharaoh Merneptah, who ruled from 1213 to 1203 BC/BCE. The stele lists all the nations conquered by Merneptah, including "Isrir" or "ysri r." Many believe that this stone, now housed in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, is the earliest known extrabiblical mention of Israel, though an earlier mention, dating to 1400BC/BCE may have been found in 2012 on a random piece of a statue pedestal which for years lay uncataloged and unexamined in the hundreds of fragments held by the Egyptian Museum in Berlin, Germany.
The Merneptah Stele says "Israel is wasted, bare of seed." (Actually, it literally says, "Israel waste (negative) seed/grain his/its.")

There appears to be a great deal of excitement in the evangelical community about a protein, even though many don't really understand what a protein is. The protein in question is laminin, one of the major proteins in the basal lamina. Laminin has a cross-like structure with three short arms and one longer arm. The three short arms link with those of other laminin molecules to form sheets of the protein. The long arms bind the molecular sheets to cell membranes. The effect is to be like a mesh holding everything together. Read more about laminins here.
The shapes of proteins and their exposed surfaces determine their function. Proteins are not rigid structures, but are flexible and constantly moving; think of the arms on an octopus.

Our belief in the Gospel cannot be based on extra-biblical "evidences" like the Shroud of Turin, pieces of the True Cross of Christ, Christian relics of saints, water stains on a wall, the shape of a vine on a pole, the "face" of Jesus in a design on a billboard or on a piece of toast. Even the strong evidences are just evidences, they prove nothing. Listen to Dr Georgia Purdom from AnswersinGenesis.org, “Only if we start with the Bible as our ultimate standard can we have a worldview that is rational and makes sense of the evidence…”
